November and December are always the busiest months of the year for me, and this year is proving to be no exception. I've been working hard on getting Christmas gifts ready, and I'm almost done with all that - this is a busy social time of the year, and of course we have all the normal things going on.
Looking thru my phone, I've taken some photos that I can share with you, but as is my habit I don't seem to have everything:
This past weekend we had a dinner party with lovely friends - I made a new table runner for my big table and decorated for the event.
I love how this runner turned out, I used the Tim Holtz Christmas fabric that I absolutely fell in love with. This is basically the same as the Halloween Table Runner pattern I put in my Etsy store but I stretched it to almost 100 inches in length. As you can see, I'm still mad for ric-rac and have been using it on almost every project lately.
Once the table runner was done, I set the table on Friday:
We had a great time, and I did share a picture of the aftermath on Instagram stories - I can share that next time if you like :-)
Our sweet friends gifted me with some flowers and a potted plant which was so kind:
I've been walking the dog every day, and we've been finding new paths to explore. When Rowley was younger he was very anxious about going too far from home, but he's getting better every day. On a recent outing I was taken with these pretty trees close to home:
Last of all for today, I just wanted to share the latest set of mmmCrafts heads I've been working on. Larissa added the 'Hung by the Chimney' ornament to her Twas the Night Before series, and it is so adorable! After it was released, I added the doll heads to my own Etsy store and they've been so successful.
There seems like to much more that I have to share, but I've reached the end of the photos I've managed to take since last time I checked in with you all. I have my sweet daughter here and my grandbabies too, so I'll leave off here and check in with you again soon. Big hugs! xox

love that runner and your tablescape is exquisite...any food at all would be delish in such a setting...
Wow, the table runner is outstanding. I love the way you quilted it. Just perfect. The green accent accent pieces you used were perfect. Beautiful.
What a nice gift to receive.
Glad Rowley is learning to trust you to take him on some longer interesting new paths. Enjoy your week and as always thank you for blogging.
Beautiful table runner and table setting, lovely to receive the flowers and plant. Good Rowley is happy to walk a bit further from home.
