Good Morning or shall I say Merry Christmas

I am part of the Think Christmas Blog Hop!  Today is the first day, so relax you have not missed a beat.  Each day several bloggers will post a photo of a block that they have created and what ever else they would like to share.

Since today is the first day and I had 2 ideas for blocks, I thought why not ...share 2 blocks!  The first one is a log cabin - all ready for Christmas (well mine ins't I still have to do the embroidery on the roof ) but I am pretty happy how it turned out, I might do some more embellishing on it - see the tree in the window!  I love to embellish blocks!

I also have to figure out how to get you a PDF of my block, check back later today and I will get that all done for you!   I hope you like this one!!   



My next block is one of my newest Christmas favorites, Gingerbread Boys -- last Christmas I had a small Christmas tree in the dining room, full of gingerbread boys and I thought this block was really easy and turned out cute.  I hope you enjoy this one too!   Both blocks measure 12 inches finished.  Again check back later today  for the pattern.
 


And last but not least, what is Christmas without  a present????  If you leave a comment and please leave your email address -- you can win this Christmas Mug Rug!  I will draw a name Saturday evening for the mug rug. 
I will put a tutorial up later this week for this!
 

Here are the other blogs to hop to today!  Enjoy!
