Where Does Time Go?

Wow, I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted. I am sorry about that. I've left you with the same old boring stuff to read and look at for too long. lol.

Looking back it doesn't seem as though I even came here to wish any of you a Happy Thanksgiving. For that I apologize too. I hope you all had a great holiday with your family and friends. We sure did. It was a nice little gathering. Can't wait to do it all again for Christmas. I know some of you had an awesome holiday as even though I haven't posted, I have been stopping by to read all your blogs. I've seen some lovely projects and wonderful photo's of food and Christmas decorations and such. I love how everyone here shares their holidays with each other. Seeing a face with the name means so much. It's always fun to run down my blog list and visit everybody. lol.

I haven't been so crafty and I don't know if I will be much more before the holidays. I just can handle so much and it's getting hectic around here. The stress is something else. I'm already looking forward to the fresh start of the New Year. It's less than a month away. Wow.

I hope everyone is enjoying the season. Sorry I haven't been around awhile. I'll try to fix that. lol. Got to get going. Happy Stitching to everyone.

It's Me Again

I just wanted to see if everyone is ready for the upcoming holiday yet? I can't wait. My brother and his wife have decided to host this year. This brings a deep sigh of relief for my sister and I as she isn't feeling the best and I have to work awhile on Thanksgiving. Ordinarily, I like to have Thanksgiving but I'm not arguing this year. I hope everyone's plans are coming together and you have great holidays with your famlies and loved ones.

I wanted to post about that Christmas wallhanging I am working on. I am at a standstill until I can get some ribbon. Turns out what I had, I had to cut it down to size and of course, it frayed. I thought about forgetting about the one piece of ribbon and just using bows on it made out of what I have here on hand but I'm not sure I like the way it will look. I just had an idea. I could use lace or ric rac in place of the one ribbon and I could possibly live with the bows I have if lace or ric rac will work. Hmmm. Now I'm pondering. Anyway, that is what I have on that. When I decide which direction to take it, I will post some more current photo's.

I got all the presents made up for the girls from my forum. Still no covered calendar books yet but I think I've decided to just use what I have. I think they'll be happy with the coffee cozy's and tissue holder. I would be.

My table runner I started still isn't finished. I have to finish tying off the ends and it's done. That's all that's left. I just about go blind every time I try to work on it though. I need new glasses in the worst way. It was just for me to see if I could do it so that's no biggie if it gets done or not.

Still got a couple of corn bags to do but I'm switching over to rice this time. I am having bad luck with the field corn and I'm just going with rice from now on. I had my son's ready to go the other day and I pull out the corn, fill the sack and when I moved the collander the corn was in, there were little, tiny, black bugs all over my ironing board. I pitched the whole entire mess right outside. How gross!!! lol. At this point I am just going to make him and my daughter-in-law one each for a little Christmas gift. He's waited this long, what's another month? lol.

That's about all that's on my plate right now. I do want to get some drapes made. We're really starting to feel the draft with the cold weather setting in. I thought it would be a great way to use up some of that upholstry fabric I have and it would look at least a little better than the Cleveland Indians blanket over the windows. lol. What's everybody else got going on?

I'll call it a night for now. Hope everyone is stitching away.

Night, Night
