I have one car quilt top finished and am well on my way to another. Now that quarantine is lifted I can go to Joann's for a few supplies. This was made with the hems of jeans I cut off for customers and saved. The flannel is remnants I pick up for .75 percent off. I still have to buy the cotton batting and the flannel backing but will do it with a coupon. This is for my son-in law Nathan for Christmas. His dogs can lay on it.
I can officially say I am done with my Christmas shopping. But my heart goes out to those that will not be shopping this year do to the financial circumstances of COVID. I think this whole mess has just made me more grateful than ever for the things I do have.
Hubs just went out and started the snowblower to make sure it was up to snuff. It is so old and I keep expecting it to die a natural death. Our flag lot driveway is over 100 feet long and we share the beginning with an elderly not so easy on her feet older single woman, so we are responsible to keep it clean. But it started right up we might just get another year out of the old girl. Snowblowers are girls? Just asking?
Lil sis is suffering from an abscessed molar, so I ran over some meds to her last night. (class 2 or 5 ? felony according to my daughter) Her face is so swollen on that side and she was in terrible pain. She is finally on an antibiotic. I felt terrible for her. I think tooth pain is the worst.
Daughter is due over with kids in an hour or two. Schmills and Kelsa always welcome. She is such a smiley happy baby. Oliver is doing much better, daughter is feeling a little locked down and I can't say that I can blame her.
We will sure appreciate each other a lot more after this mess is over. At least I hope we do?
I actually got some sewing done for a client today, don't die of shock. This hiatus I have been on must end. And I am going to start my Christmas baking this week. Also setting a quota on my sewing to force myself to do it. If I would just do a daily quota like I used to I would be out of work in a week and then I wouldn't have to feel guilty about doing other things. Like making caramels.
I have less than an hour to get to the bank and Jo anns before daughter gets here, so I had better get moving.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
