Christmas & Winter

A Christmas Without Bears?

I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas like many of you.  My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?”  ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said.  “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.”

And then tonight I found these pictures…

“So you’re done now, right?  I can put all these boxes away?”  “Yes, all finished!”, I said.  But that was before I found the photos.

I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins.  I don’t know where I’ll put them now that all the decorations are up, but they have to come in and be part of our holiday tradition.   Call me sentimental.  He’s put away all the boxes so I think I’ll just link him to this blog post.  Who can resist these bears?

While I’m working on finding a place for my bears, I found another picture for you!  Would you like to win a few of these tiny little bundles?  Packages of 2  1/2″ x 2  1/2″ squares of Lily & Will II!

Leave me a comment and 12 of you are going to win 3 little bundles each of yellow and aqua Lily & Will II!  Oh the fun you can have with these little squares!  I’ll announce the 12 winners Friday December 3rd!

Have a great week everyone!

Hugs,

Anne

    I am a teddy bear collector with at least 1 bear in every room, even the bathrooms. I have over 100 bears smiling year round and for the holidays I used to decorate a tree with just bears but for the past few years I always bring my Christmas bears out but not for a tree. We always go back to Canada for the holidays so we decorate just 1 big tree now. I used to make mohair bears but since I started quilting and started embroidering again I’ve not made a bear in about 5 years and my knitting and crocheting projects have been few and far between. You know what…..in the new year I’m going to make a new bear. I think it is time. Thanks Anne….you are always inspiring me.

    I’ve got some Lily and Will charm packs and a green layer cake already and my yardage should be arriving at Cori’s quilt shop shortly. My niece and I are making Park Lane with the green border. Would love to win the aqua and yummy yellow bundle of Lily and Will II. Thanks for the chance Anne, have a wonderful day.
