Shirlene, we know that you are always busy. I have not been able to do any projects since Wednesday, but plan on trying to complete some things for my associates family. She has come on rough times, and being a young mother was worried about Christmas for her baby, and step daughter (age 4). So, my girls and I decided to "adopt" the family for the holiday, and have shopped and now I have to finish a couple things that I was doing for them with my embroidery and machines. I made the cutest snow hats and scarves(thanks to Miss Charlie) and need to complete these things. I put my embroidery for family gifts to the side until we could get the things ready to box up and send up to her in Tennessee. My hubby said I better call her and tell her not to buy a thing! The truck of my car is full. I hope this makes her Christmas a little easier. And Boy! has it been fun buying for little ones again!

The fleece ones where you cut 5 inches wide, layer 3 /4 colors and sew down the middle and then fringe the long edges?!? We got all the cutting done and sewn down the midlle..now have to cut 1/2 inch fringe...maybe tomorrow...I'm tired today!

31942It's been a rain all day in SC, USA. I am listening to Bing Crosby as I type. I've finished making a stocking that my neice decorated. She did a great job. I wish I could find my camera. I would upload a picture, but I'm sure it is under my to do stuff. I also was making a dress for one of her daughters. I got to the point I needed a zipper so I stopped since I don't have it. Now I'm playing on the computer grapping every design I can and I don't have time to do. Yes, I am going crazy, but what fun.

OH Meg, when will you ever get that machine back? I can understand why you would want to head to the South Pole, too. I have a long time without a machine and it drove me batty - no you know the reason I am that way. Hehehe!

Sheryl, it sounds like you are a very busy lady - you have a assembly line going on or something - maybe? Keep cranking them out - we all adore your projects. Thanks!
15218Hi All. I'm currently stitching out the 3rd of the TreeTopper angels. Getting ornaments and stuff ready for another craft show on the 6th. Hope I do better this time. I have not gotten or stitched a single Christmas gift. Haven't even ordered the GKs bonds yet. I'm losing my mind. Oh and it's 2;45pm on Saturday the 29th. Hope you all are more organized than me. BTW, DH is back in FL. 'til the 6th covering for his brother again.

Maryjo, I do hope that your Tree Toppers are the biggest seller - make sure you price them for the work involved - what are GKs bonds? It must be hard having your dh away - but look at it this way - it gives you more time to the the stuff for the craft show - you will get to the items for Christmas with the show is out of the way. Thanks!

Savings Bonds for the Grand Kids. I always give them each a bond for Christmas and one on their birthday.Hopefully they will use them for college tuition some day. They have to be purchased from the bank and it takes a few weeks to get them.
6832Trying to work on some items but not enough time. Maybe I should just start working on Valentine's stuff and jump ahead the season lol Going nuts here! hehe

Salsabil, how many female family members are you doing this for? It sounds like a great project and I do hope to see at least one of them in the project section real soon - thanks!
14775I just got home from Thanksgiving at my daughter's. We decided "Christmas at Grandma's and Grandpa's house" (that's me & DH) will be on the 20th. So I'm really going to be pushed to get everything done in time. Fortunately I work well under pressure. My problem is getting off the computer and on to the sewing machines. So I may be a little scarce here for the next few weeks.
