Love that quilt, Dunster! I hope to have a seasonal quilt together one of these years, lol! For now the house has 3 cats, and no tree. It's safest that way, they all have the tendency to want to 'redecorate' with their own ideas. I did a few seasonal things for fall, and it just felt like time to change things out, so I put out some basic Christmas decor. I made a few new throw pillowcases, and I have a garland up on the wall that gets decorated like a tree -much safer- and it feels nice to have a little color and cheer out. I'm debating the whole baking thing...there's only 2 of us in the house, and flour is getting flaky to find. Maybe I'll do a traditional walnut roll/poppy seed roll, and share with the girlfriend who also had those around for the holidays in her childhood home. It would be nice to share that as a gift!
