December 22 Morning

Christmas Myspace Comments
I collapsed today, got my Christmas cards finished at 5:30 this morning. got up at 9:30 to go shopping and then our moving business intefered so we didn't go. Have done most of my shopping online and the rest I can just do locally. Hope to do some baking over the weekend. Something I never seem to have time for. I love to make home made cinnamon and orange rolls for Christmas morning and haven't had a chance for several years. Still have a little housework to do to make the house presentable for guests.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Merry Christmas

Too busy to post

I don't know about the rest of you but I am so busy getting ready for Christmas I don't have time to sit at the computer more than a few seconds to check for important email. Oh well, will be back and post some pics of my decorations or something soon.

Have fun you all, getting ready for the holidays.

Not much new

Have been so busy working on my house and getting through Thanksgiving haven't posted to my blog in a while. Haven't sewed much. Have worked on a little Christmas tree skirt have had for a few years. Got it off a moving job where a lady gave us stuff that was left over in her house along with a bunch of other craft supplies. It is a muted pink and gold and I have been embroidering metallic gold around the gold and pink metallic around the pink. Then have added the acrylic flower beads I like so well to all the flowers on half of it so far, plus beads to all the berries. I have a pink Christmas tree I plan to use it under. Will take pics soon whether I finish it or not.

We got a lot of snow for us Thanksgiving day and a day later. Was really beautiful and enjoyed every minute of it. The kids sure had a good time having snow ball fights and there were snowmen all over town. Everyone took advantage of the rare snow that was enough snow to do something in.

Just catching up

Well our little boy is doing really good, one side of his face is really healing fast and the other is looking good too. He now has a new scratch down the middle of his nose. He may have learned not to do what caused the eye damage but he is still not afraid to accost every other cat in the neighborhood!

You might notice a new link on my blog to Sew Mama Sew. What a great idea to make something, a small gift, everyday for the month of November. Last year I had lots of things done ahead of time but not this year. Got myself in to entirely too many round robins this year. Which i enjoyed every single one and learned soooo much, but over extended myself. So now am going to do this to help me catch up. Tonight I think I will make an apron for my oldest DD who cooks and cleans for us and we jokingly call her Cinderella. So will make her an apron with the name Cinderella on it.

I am still working on doors for my hallway and stairs, refinishing a antique bed, and various other similar projects. Also having a yard sale. Haven't done a lot of sewing but have kept a little tree skirt I am embellishing in the car so i can work on it when am waiting or riding in the car. it is coming along nicely and will take a picture in a few more days when i get the embroidery done if not more.

Well, am back to my projects for now.

Our hurt baby

Our "son" Gandalf came running up to "Dad" this morning to tell him he got hurt. Of course he had to go the emergency room. The Dr. thinks he got caught in the fan belt of a car. We can't imagine him doing that but it was cold for the first time this morning???? Our big tough guy who usually fights, spits, bites, and screams and has to be restrained just to be examined, when he is at the Dr., didn't make a protest. Just a big shot of antibiotics and some cream for his eyes and he is home again. Can you imagine how much that hurts though!
