This year, I am bound and determined to get ahead of myself regarding Christmas decorating and crafting. I’ve boldly decided to skip Thanksgiving decorating (not Thanksgiving) and go right from Halloween to Christmas.
Believe it or not, I agonized over that decision (yep, it’s a total first-world problem, I get that). My current plan is to have my Christmas tree up and the house decorated before Thanksgiving. That way, I can spend the rest of the Holidays relaxing with my family. I do not want to have a “to-do” list a mile long on December 1st.

I would like to make the Derby pillow bands for a friends Derby party. I do not have a cricut cutter…wondering if I can get the Old Kentucky Home and the
racing horse pre-cut, if not, how can I get them? Thank you for your help.
No, I don’t sell them pre-cut. You’d have to get someone to cut it for you. Sorry

Just FYI, The links to the Fort Worth Fabric Studio blog no longer work. I contacted Jodie and she found it on the old blog and sent me the link. I still couldn’t open it.
I checked it this morning and it was working fine. Maybe it’s been changed.
Jean says
Hi, I’m trying to get the tilda reindeer template, and having a problem downloading it, could you please advise.
You’ll need to visit the website of the company that makes the pattern to get the download. It’s not my pattern, I’m just providing a link to the pattern as a suggestion of things to make for Christmas.
