– Those of you who wondered if there was a picture of me, regarding the previous post? Think about it. Do you think my husband would have noticed anything different about me? I reference this post.
– Seven of us from our Wednesday stitchin’ group went to the local NBC affiliate last night and presented our baby dolls with hand-made quilts to Toys for Tots, and made a brief appearance on the 6:00 news. We all had a lot of fun. We donated 15 dolls with quilts.
– I am in Full Apron-Assembly-Line Mode. After completing the first Church Ladies Apron, I decided I would cut out the next nine, and do all the pockets at the same time, ties, facings, etc., and it should be a more efficient use of time. More boring, but more efficient. I am really excited about some of the fabrics I’m using (photos on a future day). And I wish it was after the 1st of January so I could count these 20 yards as part of Stash Busting (two yards per apron, and 18 of the 20 yards out of stash)!!! They are for gifts, so I will keep plugging away.
– Friday is our Christmas outing for the four of us “buds” that used to work together, and we keep in touch by meeting for breakfast most Saturdays. We are doing an overnight at a local casino (free rooms), and will have fun opening our gifts, enjoying a fun dinner, and perhaps doing some donating at the machines – at least until the smoke gets too bad. I always bring knitting along…
– I got a new Keurig coffee brewer. What a fun toy! A toy that makes coffee/hot cocoa/tea, how good is that?
– Had my annual mammo today, and since I was close to the Mall of America, thought I would spend some time shopping. I AM EXHAUSTED. I guess it’s a sign of the times, but the mall was pretty low key for being two weeks before Christmas.
Well, that’s all for now. Pictures next time!
