Christmas is coming, o.k. I am rushing it a bit

Yes, its not even November and yes, I have even written about how we rush the seasons, but I am a huge fan of Christmas and start thinking about the next Christmas on December 26th.

My shopping is all done. I have bags of presents lined up under my quilting frame. This week I shopped for some of the things my family loves during the holidays and for our annual Christmas party. Where will enjoy Glogg, JulMust (which we have already enjoyed a couple bottles of) and of course for the kiddos there will be a big bowl of Kinderpunsch while some of the adults will enjoy warm Glühwein. Lots of strudel, gingerbread men, Pfeffernüße, Stollen and more. There will be lots of Scandinavian treats too so that all the tomte around my house will be happy.

Speaking of Tomte, I found some cute tomte at World Market made of felted wool. They also had great wool christmas stockings that I fell in love with and they were made in Thailand which is kinda special to our family since Casi is Thai.

And since I was in the Christmas mood today, I started on a bold Christmas flannel quilt, with a nice bold pattern that will brighten up the winter months.

Almost feel like playing some Christmas music, but that really would be rushing it, wouldn't it !

Life is good.
