How do you?

I'm usually pretty good at figuring out how to do stuff but this one has me stumped. Molly you and some other's have a countdown to Christmas. Only 118 days!!!

How do I put one on my blog? I know I had a clock on there too and it's gone. I can't remember for the life of me how I did it. So please, please, please let me know how to do it. I wanna have one too.

In other news. Ever suffered from quilt magazine overload? I have a subscription to Homespun Magazine through the LQS. It's cheaper than getting it mailed from Australia. Last month I gave up my copy to a lady who wanted to start a subsciption so mine didn't come in until this week. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) this month's magazine came on the same day. It's the Christmas issue. Oh my goodness.... I just love all the stuff in these magazines. I sat for 2 hours yesteray afternoon with a cup of coffee flipping through these things. I want to make everything... which of course is impossible. I didn't dare look at the Country Threads magazines when I was down there. If I'd done that I'd be sunk!

No real quilting going on here. I've been trimming up the yard getting ready for Fall/Winter. I sure don't want to be out there when it starts to get cold/rainy. In the evenings I've been working on the embroidery for the shop. Only 3 left to go.. yeah! Someone else is doing the sewing together and it will be a shop sample so I'll snap a photo once it's finished. It's soooo cute. I love little bunnies.

A bunch of us finally came up with a winning idea for novels. Since we all read the same type of book (cozy mysteries & quilt novels) we've decided to commandeer a shelf (in the back of the shop) at the quilt shop to keep all our books on, like a library. Once we all finish with the books we can sell them at the second hand book store to save up for batting for our charity quilts.

Ok Shirley, I just went to Molly's blog to see the Christmas thing. Click on it, that takes you to a site and it is right there. Go to your layout page and click add a gadget, pick the one that is for HTML/Java Script. Go back to the Christmas page and copy and paste the html under the photo. Paste it into the form on the add a gadget thing and save. It should work. Hope that helped you out.
