The 12 Days of HOLY SH*TMAS: Post #9

We're gonna breeze through these final couple Christmas posts. Because Christmas feels like a faded memory and I can't bring myself to start getting excited about 10 months from now.

Although I do miss the warm glow of lights in the house, and cookies, and festive music. Bright paper and ribbons meticulously wrapped around gift boxes. Holiday themed tee shirts and Emmet Otter.

Okay, so that actually was a nice moment there. Haven't really been thinking about Christmas since it's not even March yet. Now I have a gentle feeling for the future that will probably be here before I know it. Definitely before I'm prepared. Putting aside the stress that wants to comes with that thought...

Coming in at number 9 is a fall-themed quilt I saw in a magazine. And I believe 19 bucks any size.

Due to our budgeting, even that small price tag was beyond my parameters. Since I didn't actually see it in person, I didn't think very much about it after I saw it but managed to casually mention it to my mom. There were leaves on it and I was wishing at the time I had more fall themed stuff to get out. The quilt had a lot of brown, green, and dark red colors, which are my colors.

Here, Alas is getting comfy on it on the foot of our bed.


I was so surprised when I opened it. It came in a big quilted tote bag (bonus!). I loved it right away but had no idea how much we would really love it. It's pattern is also not so boldly autumn that we can't use it at other times of the year.

We got it home and it immediately became the quilt that we drag all over the house with us. We cuddle under it while we watch tv on the couch, we throw it on the bed when we go to sleep at night. It washes up easily and has been so great! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Thanks, Mom!
