It’s now one week since I started my tree skirt project for x-mas.  I still have a month and a half to finish it but I’m trying to get the patchwork done as quickly as possible.  I’ve never gotten past the patchwork stage and the actual quilting and binding is unfamiliar territory to me so I want to leave as …

Last winter I took a quilting class with another expat girl I know.   I know it sounds like something only old women would enjoy, but it’s actually quite nice.  It’s relaxing to sit and sew in front of the TV and such.   I don’t have a sewing machine yet so I do it all by hand. I ended up missing …

… but who’s counting! (ok… me.) ~~ JINGLE BELLS, Bloggers SMELL a hundred miles awaaaaay, plug your nose until they go and then you’ll be ok, HEY! ~~ Yeah, I’m five. I also can’t wait for Christmas, like every other year.  Even though I tried to cancel Christmas last year, I still ended up enjoyhing myself with my darling hubby and …

I’ve figured out what has been missing from Christmas for me… (other than my family of course). Today while working in the kitchen we’ve had the radio on and mostly all they are playing is Christmas carols. Suddenly it feels like Christmas! That feeling is back and for the first time over this holiday season (even counting the day I …

Ramona is our Christmas turkey. When I took it out of it’s packaging and had it in the dish it kept wobbling over to the left. Then I looked and realized that one of it’s wings was missing, or half of itat least. When I untied the legs to try to stuff it, the left leg flopped over to the …

So, I did some shopping online for presents for my mom and dad. From what I saw on the website, it would arrive after the 21st of Dec, by the 27th at the latest. Today I got two emails saying that they’ve been sent and will arrive January 3rd and 6th. WHAT THE FUCK?! *Sigh* Nothing I can do about …

Ok, after a brief crying session I decided to give the tree another go. Thankfully it is a fake tree because I could just bend it back into shape after being thrown to the floor. A real tree would have been a disaster. It came out nice, but the “wheee I’m doing the christmas tree!!” feeling wasn’t there. I must …

For the first time in my life I think I’d cheer if I heard those words. Where is the Grinch when I need him.. I haven’t been able to get my Christmas spirit back at all. I’ve not done any shopping, haven’t bought any cards and my tree is standing in a corner looking dilapitated after me pushing it over …

Today a friend sent me an MSN and demanded I write a blog so he has something to read while at work today. The pressure! I don’t actually have a whole lot to write about. I could ramble on about the usual day to day life but I’m sure most who read my blog (all what.. 2.. 3 of you? …

This morning at 6:30am (approx 40 minutes ago) I was laying in bed and heard the phone ringing in the livingroom. The phone in the bedroom is broken and by the time I was awake enough to realize the one in the livingroom was ringing I knew I wouldn’t make it in time. I was just starting to go to …

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last I LoveThe Fall photos and posts. This is one of my favorite times of year for so many different reasons. I always get the feeling like I should be out buying pencils and getting in as many bike rides as I can before the snow. I love going out …
