Saturday Seven 369: Lifestyle & More for Quilters

1. Self-Care

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are some practical tips to try. I loved this post about putting your phone away on Christmas day. And finally, it’s not too late to have a “Mindful Holiday.”

2. Recipes to Try

First, this Christmas Citrus Green Bean Salad looks amazing! I’m also going to try this Creamy Mushroom Pasta. This Grinch Punch looks like so much fun for the younger set at a holiday party. And finally, these ideas for a Hot Cocoa Bar are so much fun!

3. Quilt + Sew

Here is a free pattern for a darling Christmas Bow Block (more Christmas blocks can be found from the same page). And I love these drawstring gift bags to use with cross stitch projects!

4. Book + Podcast Recommendations

I have been loving all of the tips in this book and plan to start her room-by-room organizing program in January! And I’m loving Heirloom Rooms–a combination of beautiful home pictures and essays on making our homes a place to not only live in but also love.

5. New Year’s Goals

I’ve been working on goals for the new year–quilting, sewing, personal, and home goals. If you’re looking for ideas to get your quilting off to a terrific start next year, look here for all of my best tips. I also love this idea to read 25 books in 2025! I’ll have more helps for you on organizing soon!

6. Amazon December Favorites

These chocolates are my favorite–I was super happy to find them on Amazon after the manufacturer sold out for the season! And I’ve repurchased these facial cleaning cloths twice now–a staple for me. This cuticle oil has also been a game-changer. I rarely have any hangnails anymore–I use it nightly. And this cream works wonders for sore joints and muscles. Finally, we have three of these plugs and love the charging capability for different types of cords.
