My favorite block from my "Sew Many Santas" sampler quilt
that I made in the early 90s
I can't believe what slow progress I make these days. I have never taken this long to get my Christmas decorations out and up. I did get my little tree set up this morning. But there it sits, no ornaments yet. They're still in boxes on the dining table.
I have all my Christmas quilts out and up and about. I have my vintage Christmas tablecloth on my dining table and a small Santa quilt on the coffee table. Oh, yeah, I set up my nativity that my sister Joanne gave me, hung the front door wreath, and dressed Bentley Bear in his Santa hat and plaid scarf and set him on the front porch. That's about it. And that's probably going to be it for this year.
For some reason, Typepad want let me post more than one photo today. And I don't have the strength nor ambition to try to figure out why. I plan to use what little strength I have left in me to make a quilt block. If I succeed, maybe I'll post a photo of it tomorrow--if Typepad will let me.

Love, love, love that Santa block! We're foregoing decorations this year since I'm having my shoulder replaced on Friday. It will join my replaced knees and one hip. It's going to be a bionic Christmas for sure. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy new year. I've been following your blog for a long time and enjoy all you're able to do even when you don't feel well.

What a charming Santa block you made for your sampler quilt! Belated applause!!
It sounds to me that your home is wonderfully festive from the things you've already done. There is no hurry for those ornaments to be put on the tree.
I'm with you on fading quickly when trying to get the decorations up. Yesterday the tree went up and by the time the lights were on, I was utterly exhausted and in tears. Today I'm putting the ornaments on but even that isn't the joy it usually is. Phooey!
Then there is the hiccup that we have far too many ornaments and decorations ...
Big hugs!

Love your Santa block. I finally got my little tree set up, a couple of quilts in the living room, and candles on the mantel. And of course the old Father Christmas that I made about thirty years ago. But that's all the decorating I plan for this year.

I put up my little 3 foot tree today and a few other decorations - nothing like I used to do. I am happy with my cutback decorating.
