Christmas Cartoon Countdown 12-17-18

I finally got around to putting a new squeaker in the new Woodstock toy I bought for KoKo a few weeks ago.  I'm afraid he will chew it to death very quickly.  But he does love it enough to sleep with it, Froggie is on the floor!

Cartoons leading up to Christmas 12-13-18

Posting a cartoon a night until Christmas Day.  You may have seen some of these in previous years.   I always need a giggle or an outright laugh this time of year.  For some strange reason carrot nose jokes always crack me up. 

There will be two posts some evenings, one cartoon and one "normal" one!

Stars for your Xmas tree…  or the 4^th of July…  or just because!

Ideas/tutorials for “quilted” Christmas ornaments.  Lots of duplicates and lots of folded fabric on Styrofoam balls.  But there are some cute ideas here and there.  You can Google “quilted Christmas ornaments” for even more ideas.  http://www.pinterest.com/explore/quilted-christmas-ornaments/

Haven’t done much browsing this past week because I was working on the SQG December newsletter.  Check it out at:

Pictureless blog 02-27-10

I save up 'blog able' stuff for days like this. I have been working like crazy today. Mostly trying to finish up the Surfside QGuild newsletter which has to be posted tomorrow (Sunday). Besides the fact I keep forgetting how to do things, my computer was giving me fits. It may have been something about the weather - heavy rain, thunder, lightning, strong/erratic wind. I turned it off when the thunder/lightning started, but I was fearful that it wouldn't start up when I turned it on again. It did and things seemed to improve. I am also getting ready to go to Empty Spools, so packing is required- packing for three different classes. What was I thinking? I won't get on the road as soon as I thought I would, but I'll get there eventually.

Terry Grant has a terrific video on her blog - if you read her blog you will already have seen it. But if not, go to http://andsewitgoes.blogspot.com/2010/02/oh-this-is-good.html which is the particular post the video is on. She is getting ready to fly to Cleveland to film some segments for the Quilt Art - she has been getting ready for weeks (maybe months), while I have not gotten ready at all. And I am leaving first and for a longer period of time. Woe is I. Such a slouch.

We have been blogging a lot about blogs lately, so maybe some of you would be interested in this site: "The Internet has made it it easier than ever to gain inspiration and learn from other quilters. There are many quilters that blog about their recent projects. The website Quilterblogs.com reads nearly 900 quilting related blogs every day and posts snippets of what these bloggers are blogging about. What a wonderful idea. If you blog, please ask to add your blog to their database. It is FREE. Check them out today." 02-16-10
I am always looking for grist for my newsletter column "Quilting Online", especially for the large number of guild members who are interested in traditional rather than 'art' quilting.

And finally, since I know there are lots of Calvin and Hobbs fans out there, here is a site I came across that is funny and interesting. To me, anyway!
