No pictures this morning. I have sewn for about 2.5 hours just on 4-patches. Sewing and pressing. Starting to get the combinations all used up. Time to get more denim legs out.
I have to dig for them. They are in a tub. I have another denim couch quilt that needs so more denim bricks cut so it is a have to situation at this point. I need to find the tub with them in.
So that means cleaning. Well I have needed to do that for quite awhile. The other thing is Friday I get the other room of carpet so I really have to work at this. That room has to be emptied.
I also have to buy groceries. I have to for Thanksgiving dinner and some extra stuff for the rest of the week to buy. We are not having Thanksgiving dinner until Sunday after Thanksgiving.
I have a long list of stuff to buy and I am sure I am forgetting something. We are not having turkey. The kids go to the in-laws and they have turkey there so I plan on ham most of the time. Jeff and I are not really turkey fans anyway.
I am not really into the holidays like a lot of families are. My Mother was always so far away over the holidays they lost their luster for me. Now that she is gone I participate for the grandkids, but that is all I feel for them. Yes I have spiritual feelings, but the gift giving is always a competition as to gives more and I am not that kind of person.
Today is getting off to a slow start and yet I have sewn for 2.5 hours. The change in the decent weather has dampened my spirit. I hate Winter, but I can't imagine moving. Sounds like a Bah Humbug thing. Not really I just have never been an outside winter person. Even as a kid sledding once a year and a snow man was enough for me.
Well I need to recheck my list and get the things ready for this Friday. Going to be busy around here. Chris
When I lived in upstate NY, I used to look forward to those colder winter days as a chance to stay in and sew -- and now that I have moved to Florida, I really miss them, and also the beauty of the change in the seasons! I like your 4-patch and denim quilt; I read the earlier post (earlier) and just went back to see the pictures again...
ReplyDeleteI have never been an outside winter person either. Just shoveling the sidewalk and porch and getting to the birdfeeders to fill them is enough for me. Lets hope for a warmer drier winter this year.
ReplyDeleteI am an outdoor gal but I dont like the freezing cold and snow. it is so dreary. but a warm fire and cuppa tea with some stitching is just the ticket to make me want to love winter. in the summer I am outside doing outside chores so the sewing is curbed more. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. turkey is not what makes the holiday, it is spending time with loved ones and being thankful for another year of their company. I used to hate doing two holidays as my Mom was not well and my hubs worked the holidays. I would do one at Moms and one at home later on. now that she is gone I would do two again in a heartbeat. Sometimes if we look a little further we can see the good in every change of our lives. enjoy my friend.I am thankful for your blog and quilting ideas.
