I don't know about you, but I am about baked out! I have made dozens and dozens of cookies (all 'secret' recipes, you know!), pounds and pounds of fudge - have you tried using the dark chocolate chips? YUMMY! And each morning I get up and make two Holiday Cakes. I am so over this ...
But I do like the Christmas holidays. And each year I swear that next year I will be better prepared ... start the cakes in early November, bake and freeze the cookies, shop for presents. Oh who am I kidding? I haven't stepped inside a mall once this season. The internet is my friend, the internet is my friend ... at least until I see the credit card bill! I absolutely love that I can google any item whatsoever and find a place that will ship it right to my door. I love technology.
I'm laughing because the only "stores" I have shopped in are my local quilt stores!! Don't we love the Stuff My Stocking 12 Days of Christmas thingie? I have a stocking full of stuff that I plan to divvy up amongst my quilting friends for Christmas. This is the best idea since the rotary cutter!
I am already starting to think about the New Year and how I want to improve my quilting life. I keep considering letting go of some of my 'kits' that I bought in years past - and I honestly know that I'll not get to them. So maybe it's time for them to find a new home. I have some fabric that is absolutely wonderful, but I'm just not in that space anymore. I keep thinking that I can't be the only quilter in this dilemma. Maybe we should consider a Quilter's Consignment Shop? I don't want to give away my stuff and I certainly don't need to buy anymore or trade for more. So why not a consignment store for us fabri-holics. Out with the not-so-new and in with the ... wait a minute... that's how I got into this mess. Anyway, out with the not-so-new and in with a new attitude. BUY IT AND USE IT IMMEDIATELY. That's the ticket! BUY IT AND USE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!
I have a friend that has proclaimed no more buying fabric. Several of us have bets on how long this will last ... I'm looking at March 2012! LOL!
