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 also use bears in my Christmas decorations and cannot allow them to skip a year! You have to bring them out – They are just waiting. The Lily and Will fabric is so adorable! I can’t wait to get some and make an adorable quilt for some lucky baby!

    Bears are so cuddly adorable, aren’t they?! I have a small stash of them I had to put away when my ‘normally’ super dog decided it felt good to place between her teeth & smash and shake them. The rest of the family laughed & voiced how ‘cute’ it was. Like fabric stash, I visit often :)
    How did you Christmas bear’s fair? Still in hibernation or visiting? BTW, loved your photos and narrative :)
    Please enter me into your little square’s giveaway…in my grab’n’go projects bag I am so into making yoyo’s, these would be perfect!
    Happy upcoming December Anne :) Blessing going your way.

    In the process of decorating now. Hope to finish today. Keeping it simple – but the Santa’s will be coming out – the snowmen are for after Christmas. That fabric is sooo cute! Would be perfect to win as we just found out we’ll have a new grandchild in July. Those are the colors the new mom has chosen for the nursery! Keeping my fingers crossed!
