I feel like I just put my Christmas decorations away and here it is time to put them up again! Luckily I love decorating for Christmas, although I was a little bit sad to put away the Fall goodies this year. Every year on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving we drag out all the tubs and boxes and deck the halls...

and the yard.

Now it's all up but the tree...that comes next weekend. We get a fresh tree every year and have learned to wait until a couple of weeks before Christmas in order not to have it turn into kindling before Christmas morning lol! Unfortunately most of my pictures came out blurry--I'll try again when the tree is up.
I trekked over to Rosie's on Wednesday to take advantage of her 25% off of magazines and came home with a pile...here's a little peek at 2 of my favorites:

I want her house!


I want to make almost everything in this one!

I love this wreath:


Are these little tins adorable or what?

I'm making this little trio--well it's going to be a trio lol--for a gift, I think...I love the bright happy fabric!

O.k. that's enough for now...gotta go get busy--lots to do and only 20 days left to do it--yikes!!!

Thanks for the sneak peek into your decorating. I love all the magazines, I find them very inspiring. I absolutely love the quilts you are working on, the fabric is very cheerful.
thanks for all the Christmas eye candy!
It's beginning to look like Christmas at your house! Like you, we get a live tree but wait to put it inside. We've learned though to go buy it the first weekend and then keep it outside until we're ready to decorate -- it can sit out at our house just as easily as on their lot and by the second weekend they're all picked over!
Loved that Christmas Wreath. Have put up some decorations but like you will wait a little longer to put the tree up.
great to see the quilts you are working on...I like your new green background...

That 2nd magazine looks interesting, is it only available in quilt stores? None in my area, or from dept stores maybe?
Love the holiday look of your blog. I'm such a scrooge this year. No holiday blog,and no decorations at home. Bah humbug. Ok I am making gifties for my buddies though. So I'm not a total scrooge right?
I love those little tins. OMG those are adorable. And love the litle quilts your making.
I haven't started my decorating yet this year but tomorrow I will. What a great deal - magazines 25% off! blessings, marlene
Cheery quilts. Festive decorations. And I love the magazines.
Boy you are very festive over here .. love it!!! Great header you have. Big score on all the magazines. The wreath is pretty darn wonderful and how cute are those tins????!!! Great quilts!
Your house looks lovely, and those magazines are great. Good luck on getting that trio done for the gift - it looks lovely.
Time does fly, doesn't it? I've seen some folks never take their icicles off their houses.. they just leave them up all year. yikes to that for sure!
love all the magazine photos.. such inspiration.
I hope you are making Jan Patek's quilt on the cover of Quiltmania for me as a Christmas gift. I'll be waiting and hoping. LOL!
Lots of nice gift ideas here!
Oooh...wonderful things in those magazines. I want those too! I want I want, sigh, rarely I need a thing but you put such enticing goodies on your blog and it makes me think it should be Christmas every single day! I have yet to find the butter keeper that you showed us this summer, but I'll keep searching! You holiday decorations are so pretty and the Christmas quilt is sweet as sweet can be, sigh, you run circles around me girl! Happy holiday preparations to you and yours. :)
