I learned a long long time ago, that I needed to have all my holiday shopping/quilting finished before Halloween. I am the sole owner of a small business ( dog and cat grooming shop) and my crunch time is Thanksgiving and Christmas.....after all, Santa won't bring toys and treats to a ''dirty dog''!!! I start my planing/shoping/cutting/sewing/quilting in January and continue all year knowing what my deadline is and I will not have any time after November 1st for ''me time''. This year I started/finished and will give out 4 king size quilts, too many lap throws to count, half a dozen baby quilts and a dozen fleece dog coats for cold greyhounds in Florida!! The ideas are already swirling in my head for next year!!
Enjoy the holidays....
