Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

Hope your day is all you dreamed of.

Getting back on track

Just thought I would update since it has been a while. I have been doing very little of anything which is bad since I have a ton of stuff to get finished in the next week.

I did go shopping yesterday (in a t-shirt, no jacket) and today we have snow, freezing rain and totally nasty stuff outside (the high has been 30). I prefer yesterday when it was almost 70 degrees.

I bought a kit to teach myself how to knit. I did a few rows last night and I think it is going to be easier than learning to crochet. I will post a picture after I get something done that is big enough to see.

Today I managed to get some of the sewing done for next week. It actually felt pretty good to get something accomplished. I have really been slacking.....doing a lot of playing games and sleeping. Hopefully I am getting back on track.

Till next time,

Well, here is a picture of our tree this year.....I guess the "want to" did finally win out. I made the ornaments that are on it, think it could use some more. Also, I should have taken the clock down before snapping the picture. The gifts under it are all for me!!!! I did a 12 days of Christmas swap with the women on the HGTV needlework & quilting boards. Starting on Sat. we get to open 1 gift each day till Christmas. I am like a little kid, it is hard to wait.

These are the gift card holders I am making for the grandchildren that like money to do their own shopping. I used a Carol Doak pattern that she made for her yahoo group. They have an opening on the back to slip something in. I still have 3 or 4 more to make.

I don't feel like I have gotten much done these past few days, but guess I have. I also did a few more needle tatting projects. The light purple bookmark is for my mom, I am not sure who is getting the other items.

Till next time,

Some samples of my projects

This is a wallhanging that I just finished in time for Thanksgiving. The turkey is "stuffed" so he is 3-D.

These are some of the needle tatting projects I have been practicing on. I have done a few more that I need to take pictures of.

I haven't been doing a whole lot for the last few days. I did manage to do my Christmas shopping - will probably have to go back a few times, I usually forget something. Haven't put up a tree yet. Keep debating on whether I want to or not. The want to will probably win out in another day or so.

I still haven't put the pictures saved from my old computer on this one either, so don't have a lot to share right now. All of my "most beautiful grandchildren in the world" are with those. Guess I better make that a project for later today.

Till next time
