I have a confession...

I tend to go overboard on things. Way overboard. I know we have talked about how much I like to decorate tier trays, and I do, but I think I have to admit that I have a problem and find a twelve step program or support group. I have stuff for 14 different themes, multiple ones for Christmas and Halloween, Disney ones, and weirder ones like Flamingos and PB&J. So I have a lot of stuff.

Then there is Christmas. I may have mentioned that in the past I didn't do much decorating for the holiday, but had made a promise to my son that when I had grandchildren, I would. Now that Wren is here, I have been getting myself sorted on decorating. Again, I have themes for the different rooms in the house, Christmas dogs in the bathroom, Merry and Bright for Wren's room, Gingerbread for the family room and so on. And again, I have a lot of stuff.

I've been organizing it so that I can store it in the garage while the kids are here as they sell their house again, and I was honestly surprised by how much stuff I have. Honestly I was.

My sister laughed and said she was not surprised because I always go overboard. She is not wrong. I have so many ideas rolling around in this head of mine and no ability to control my need to follow through on all of them. Once I get an idea, off I go. And go. And go.

I know I should find the program or group, but instead I am looking for more stuff to add to the different themes I have going. Does anyone know when I can get a Christmas dinosaur quilt?

Christmas dinosaur quilt. lol Amazing. I never seasonally decorate either. So much room to store it all plus the time to put it up and take it down. Maybe when I am retired with grandkids, too.

LOL! I don't decorate, but i can 100% relate to the idea of going to excess for anything I'm into. Once I go down into the rabbit hole of a hobby or collection, I want it ALL.

I don't decorate, except for Christmas. Our apartment is too small for me to store all those decorations and hubby dislikes them.
I am interested in the Christmas dinosaur quilt, though. My daughter is craaazy about dinosaurs.

I am truly down the rabbit hole now. It is nuts, but I have so much fun with it. LOL Wren's room at my house, for when he stays over when he is a little bigger, is dinosaurs, so I want to change it up for the holiday to Christmas Dinosaurs. It is going to be so fun, if I can find it. I wish I could make it, but my arthritis is too bad for me to even want to quilt any more. Besides, he has inherited about 12 quilts that I made his dad when he was little, all in great shape and ready for another go round. But no dinosaurs christmas.

I "feel" ya. When I'm interested in something, I tend to want it all. The whole thing. The complete set. All the extras. lol

Have you seen this:



When I googled Dinosaur Blanket, a number of things came up from TEMU. But, I've seen people say to stay away from TEMU. Security risks or something. So, I'm scared of them. lol

[SweetChar]

Oh... saw these, too...




None of these are actual quilts, though.

[SweetChar]

Now you've got me obsessed. lol I think I can put the picture in the link. Here's a few more things...









I'll go up to the other posts and try to put the pictures in...

[LJSDesigns]

Thanks, Char. The only problem is that none of them are quilts. I don't like the bulk of a comforter, so I have to have quilts. Picky, I know. LOL Especially since quilts are harder to find.

It's been forever since I chimed in here. I know you said your arthritis wouldn't let you do a lot of quilting, but I do know of this pattern: I haven't made this one specifically pattern, but would be super cute in Christmas theme.

hi manda!! nice to see you here..

that is so cute!! i instantly think how fun it would be to "decorate" it with sewing on little christmas hats and stuff like that..
