The week ahead (long) by
juliasb(nospam)
I am wondering how you all spend the holiday season. All the good
times and even some of the less appealing things that go with the
season. I know we have been talking about how we celebrate, and what we
do, I was just thinking of all the little details that make the holiday
season...

OT A Peeps Tale- SCARY! ;-) by
The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me
Last year after Christmas, I went to Big Lots and bought all new tree
ornaments and decorations and gift bags, etc. at their 75% markdown
sale. It was a tough time for me- in the middle of a divorce and in
considerable pain waiting to have my hip replacement surgery in 2 weeks.
I got home and put...

Humbugs! by
Donna in Idaho \(remove invalid\)
I just finished making 12 Humbug bags for 4 grandkids - that's 3 a piece in
graduated sizes. The smallest one goes inside the middle one, then both
inside the biggest one. Great way to use up pieces of batting and scraps of
fabric. They're fun to make and go together really fast. I put...

Sturdiest batting by
CHARLES MURPHY
A question about batting ....this is probably a silly question...
My guild donates quilts to Pediatrics at the local hospital and through a NO

OT - Fruitcake discrimination! by
Kathy Applebaum
All this talk about fruitcake here got me drooling, so I decided it was
about time to make myself one. Got plenty of wheat-free flour at Whole
Foods, and then went to my regular grocery store for the candied fruit.
Walked all around the store, several times. Checked the baking area, the
dried fruit...

OT - what's your favourite Christmas Food/recipe by
Janner
What's your favourite Christmas food or recipe or tradition?
Just thought that I'd ask, as we like to decorate the tree as close to
Christmas as possible, stay up late, eat too much etc on Christmas Eve! So
we've started before Christmas Day, mind you the turkey lasts beyond Boxing
Day!
