------- COLD!Okay, so I am not a cold hearty person. But this is what is going on in my house today......
Yes they are tearing out all the duct work and replacing all the duct and a new AC/Heat unit is going in. But today it is in the low 40's. Yes, wimp, wimp, wimp. You guys up there in the minus temps, I am a wimp. We turned the heat up before the workers came, and actually got the house pretty warm. But they have been going in and out and there is no heat left in the house right now. So our house is as cold inside as it is outside.What do you think about having your house look like this four days before Christmas?
sigh..............And they will be working in every room replacing the vents. There is dust and fiber everywhere :-(
SO being that I can't do much of anything, I thought I would have a quick little giveaway. Here are the goods -
How about Meme's Quilts All Thru the Year Applique Towel Pattern
and four towels to get you started
and just to sweeten the giveaway, I'll include a little bit of fabric so you can start the New Year right. You should be able to start with the Rooster applique.
No hoops to jump through. Just leave me a comment (be sure I have a way to contact you), and I will pick a winner the day after Christmas. If you are a follower, leave me a second comment and I will add you in a second time.Maybe this will give you a fun and easy little project to start the New Year off right :-)

I say: leave your house and go to the library or somewhere warm! :)
This is an awesome giveaway!
... and I am a follower.
Sorry about the intrusion of the heat problem, the drop sheets don't add to the Christmas charm, huh? Hopefully it will be fixed SOON!! Thank you for finding time to host a giveaway in the middle of it all.
Oh what a mess to have right now! But the heat will be wonderful once everything is done! Great giveaway! Thanks so much! :0)
I am a follower, and have enjoyed your blog for a long time now.
I'm a follower too! Thanks again! :0)
Hope your house is back to normal soon. Forty doesn't sound warm and toasty to me either. I'm not a follower per se, but you are on my google reader as websites I go to every day. Does that count?
Despite the mess with the AC etc... I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!!
Ugh, what a sucky date to get vents replaced. Then again, maybe better have this done in the cold than in the heat :) You can always bundle up under all those quilts!
Cute applique patterns!
Cheers,
Christine

I think your generosity in having a giveaway when you house is a 'little distressed' and Christmas is four days away is absolutely awesome. I would love to win but more than that I would love for you to have a very happy and warm, cosy Christmas, love Lis xx
What a sweet giveaway! I could so use something fun and quick after the holidays. Still have a couple deadlines to meet. Keep up the good spirits even if your in the middle of diseray...this too shall pass. Link for followers seems to be down. I will check back later. Enjoy your holidays!
Ooooh poor you ! I really feel for you and hope you will be able to get it all fixed and have a warm christmas at least! nobody will mind a bit of mess.. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

You can call me a wimp too. 40F is considered winter where we live. It will be nice to start the New Year off with the new duct work though won't it. Do you have an electric heater or fireplace you can start up and sit and read by? That's what I'd do. Happy vacuuming.
I'm a follower too and I love towels.
We were on the tail end of the recent storm, and still have a lot of snow around. Love the towels and would love to be in the giveaway.
.....and I am a follower!
Good luck keeping warm! It will be nice, I'm sure, when they get it all done and you get to turn the heat on with your new system for the first time. It will make it all worth while! Darling giveaway!
Looks like you will be dusting the Christmas decorations! But it's going to be so nice to have a new heating/cooling system! Portable heater should keep you toasty until the new system is up and running. I like the towels and I have you on my favorite blog list! So, your new postings move to the top of the blog list if you post. Love reading your blog! Merry Christmas!
Yikes! I would be so anxious to have that all cleaned up and back to normal. I'm sure you'll be so happy when it's done. Great giveaway!
These are gorgeous!! Count me in please.
Hope your renovations don't take too long.
I'm a follower!!
Your poor house! I hope that you aren't expecting company with all that dust. Definately bundle up. I remeber when our heater was broken a few years ago for almost 2 month how chilly a home can be--Light lots of candles, even during the day, they seem to warm up the atmosphere.
Please enter me into your drawing. Thanks
Oh, and I've been a follower for a long time.
What a cute "new" project for the new year.

Oh, Jocelyn...I truly sympathize with you. We had a tree crash onto our house in the summer and the result was that we had to live in another end of the house for 3+ weeks while the repairs went on (at a time when we were supposed to have the grands for their little vacation with us...had to postpone that). Luckily, we had a restoration firm that was excellent about containing dust and cleaning it up each day AND cleaned the whole area at the end of the job. The lack of heat would bother me, too...and I am a "northerner" my whole life...so you are NOT a wimp!!! LOL Please enter me in you nice giveaway, okay?
And...of course, you know I'm a faithful follower of your blog, too!
40 degrees in the house IS cold, even to we sub zero people. I hope they complete their work REALLY fast!!
Don't include me in the drawing, I wouldn't do the towels and it should go to someone who would, but it is sweet of you to have a drawing amoungst the mess LOL.
Crispy
I can't stand dust! I feel so sorry for your plight. Thank you for the giveaway. I had not been a follower but I will now!
Thanks..........Jane
Oh Jocelyn, how thoughtful of you. You're in a mess right now and you're so kind to think of others.
I do hope your house will be back to some sort of normal for your Christmas Day.
I'll think good thoughts for you to have it all completed.
Hi again. Yes, I am a follower, from your early on blogging life. I always look forward to reading and sharing with you..always.
You're a special woman who I've come to enjoy.
Merry Christmas, Jocelyn and may all your wishes become wonderful memories.
Sewing hugs and blessings...always.
I am so glad to see I'm not the only one with a home remodeling project going on... we gutted 2 bathrooms and today they are coming to finish... did I mention I'm having 24 people for dinner on Thursday...and my adult children and their families arrive tomorrow! But, here I am, reading your blog and getting into the Christmas spirit! Love your blog - you make me laugh and inspire me! Merry Christmas to you!

Merry Christmas, Jocelyn! I hope you get your house back in order soon.
I'm a follower, too. I truly enjoy your blog!
What a time to have work done. never mind you'll soon be nice and warm.
Love the idea of a tea towel for every month
Love and hugs Gina xxx
Oh boy what a mess! I know that must be frustrating, but you need to stay warm.
What a great giveaway you are having. Someone is going to enjoy it very much.
Have a Very Merry Christmas despite what is going on in your house.
You poor thing! I don't handle all the mess of renovations and projects like that very well. Certainly a mess like that at the holidays would really set me off! Hang in there. It is in the 20s here today but if my house were in the 40s, I would complain too :)
Thanks for a lovely giveaway and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Safe New Year for you too!
Love the pattern and fabrics! Renovations are so disruptive aren't they . . . hang in there because it will all be worth it in the end. Merry Christmas! - Marlene
Oh I feel your pain - when I was growing up my dad remodeled every few months - he really did - it was annoying to me as a kid - can't imagine what my mom went through.
I love the gifts - you are so sweet to think of us during you overhaul of the heating system.
I love applique dish towels, I just don't have enough of them. thanks for the giveaway oppurturnity

Merry Christmas .... I heard you were in need of happy thoughts.
2yrs ago at Christmas we didn't have water for 6 days .... it was fun (not).
oh, no fun! Hopefully by Christmas morning all the mess will be gone and you'll be warm and toasty again. Thanks for the opportunity to win in your giveaway!
Metty Christmas!
I'd love to be entered in your drawing. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to your daughter!!
I love the patterns and would love a chance a win one! Sorry your house is being torn up. :-/
I'm a follower! Love stopping in to see what you are up to. :-)
I love the chicken! I collect chicken things and live chickens. It would be a great addition.
Wow! I didn't know that it got that cold in Florida. We are up to a balmy 30 degrees in chilly Idaho. But that doesn't factor in the wind chill; with the wind chill we are a sizzling 17 degrees!! I could not imagine getting heating/air conditioning work done this close to Christmas; I would be a basket case! Hope you have an awesome Christmas!
Happy your house is back in order. I find it hard to feel sorry for your 40 degree temp. when we are having a blizzard ; ) Would love to win your giveaway. Thanks
I am now a follower of your blog. Merry Christmas
TRUST ME.... things in your home will be a LOT nicer AFTER the workers have left! *grin*
