Help! (And another Giveaway!)

Good Evening!

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all a Merry New Year and hoping all your wishes become a reality!

We had a good Christmas, uneventful.  That's usually good!   We went over to my Mom's for Christmas Day.  She and my father are both 81 and they still insist on having it at their house.  I was told what to bring (coleslaw) for the dinner.  I also made some peppermint bark and peanut butter bark and took that.   Being that everyone is older now it's usually pretty subdued.  I decided to put together some "games" to play and I also wrapped about 10 things as "prizes" - There was few re-gifted items of mine (things I knew I just wouldn't use and maybe someone else could use them) and also a few items I made (feather tree, some hooked pillows, etc.), I also bought a couple of gift cards and candy. 

We did this after dinner and everyone had a good time.  Of the prizes, if you got to pick one you could pick the person that already had one (and opened) or got get another.  So there was some laughs.   My niece Desiree won three games in a row and then her sister Jessica switched boards on the one game with her without her knowing and won another one! That would have been 4 in a row! Too funny - she won a few more later - Anyway - she ended up sharing some of her loot!

Here's some pics of the day - most didn't turn out - I don't know why my pics never turn out over there!

This would be my Mom, Dad, and Uncle in the vest.  Notice the Santa hanging on the quilt hanger behind my Dad,  that's a cross stitch afghan I did for my Mom (she collects Santas - should have counted them at her house - wait I may not be able to count that high) I made that way back in 1991! Geez that was a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time ago!

My niece Jess and her boyfriend Bryan.  Jess just graduated from Nursing school last week.  She went to college (4) years and then went out in the working world - then decided to go back to school.  Now she's looking for a nursing position.  They want to move to the west coast and is hoping some of the hospitals she applied to will call her.

This was the family pic taken by Bryan but some of the family already dispersed.  My brother went home early (he had a cold), and Bubby (Desiree's fiance) was working.

We do not exchange gifts between ourselves anymore - except to give my parents something and even though we tell them not to get us anything - they do - This year my Mom made me some "penny rug ornaments", a snowman bag, and a lap quilt for me!  If you remember back in October, my friend Kathy was celebrating her 50th birthday (woolfind blog) and she's probably still celebrating.  Well I had "commissioned" my Mom to make a lap quilt for her.  Well my Mom is always attached to her sewing machine and made three - I knew one was for Desiree and I had a feeling one was for me but wasn't sure.  (Jessica doesn't like our style! LOL)  Well here's the one I was gifted with...

So that was Christmas!

Now to the title of my post! HELP!

I need help! 

I'm been  asked if I wanted to participate in an online selling blog and I need a "name" - Joanne just doesn't sound right!  I really can't think!  Been trying to for years when I do shows and stuff.  I do not want anything cutesy or the word "heirlooms" or "stuff" or I don't know what!  So I'm putting it out there - can anyone help me think of a good name to use?

Basically the majority of what I do is primitive rug hooking - smaller rugs and mats, and of course some feather trees and what nots.

I don't know what you will get yet if I pick and use the name you come up with but it may be a small mat or a feather tree, or kit - just depends on you - maybe I'll give you a choice!  

Thanks for any help!

Have a great day

(Oh yea - Quentin - I'll be sure to get some pics of him next time - He's growing, he's purring, he's playing, he's EATING us out of house and home, he's just a love bug!)
