Fall Quilt Market
The only thing I don’t like about Fall market is the timing. It always seems to fall over Halloween and many of us don’t get to see our kids or grand-kids dressed in all their glory.

This week I can play…

Did you know that this was the poem that changed the way we think of Santa Claus? “The Night Before Christmas” brought us Santa’s mode of transportation, how he looks and even the names of his reindeer! Clement Moore originally wrote it for his children! Imagine having a father who could write poems like this! And now almost 200 years later it’s still a universal poem that children love to hear!
