Another Project Today, Tomorrow the Tree

I stayed up late last night doing this...



The red is so pretty and shiney.
It makes me smile. 




I recently bought this quilt at the flea market for $40.
It's hand stitched and has so much red in it
that I couldn't resist.


This is gonna be my Christmas corner. 
I'll add some red pillows and some stuffed toys 
for the Grandloves to play with. 
Maybe Callie Cat will stay off of it...
or 
NOT.



The window seat has sat empty for 3 years now.  
After Christmas, I intend to get someone to make me 
pillows and a cushion from nice fabric.  

Today was a good day. 
I helped a friend.
We went thrifting.
I listened.  She listened. 
We shared.
I taught a Bible class.
We prayed together.

Isn't that what community is all about?

Tonight I am at peace.

Bonnie:)

  4. So thankful for good friends and peace from the Lord. I adore that quilt but I think Callie is gonna love it! Your chalkboard sign with the cheerful red frame is fabulous!
    I remember we had a window seat at the home we shared with mother. Mother had a pile of Christmasy stuffed animals on the seat and one day when I walked by, I saw Kaboodle cat in amongst the stuffed animals!

  10. It sounds like you had a wonderful day. I really like that darling chalk board and your cozy little Christmas corner-to-be :) I found out today that Aaron will be able to make it home for Thanksgiving so it looks like SOMEONE will be cooking that meal after all! I'm actually looking forward to it :)

  13. Great quilt Bonnie! I wish my little home had a window seat, but no! It sounds like you enjoyed a great day. Hope your tree is up now :) Blessings to you!

  14. Your little window seat is so cute with the quilt added to it. You could probably add some foam to it and then wrap your quilt material around that for now. That might work until you get a cushion made.
