Slack...

It has been a while since I’ve updated my blog. Partly because I have been busy, yes, and partly because I’ve been just plain out lazy. Figure that 50-50 on each part and it takes up all of your time. I have managed to get my clothes straightened out – winter clothes packed up…I swear this has been the cause of this unseasonal cool deal we had earlier last week.

I’ve only managed to make two pillows over the past week, but I’ve been stitching so much that when I DO sit down to pillow-making, I’ll be busy! I’ve been cutting out patterns for some primitive dolls too. I hope to try my hand at that some soon.

Machine is still down but I'll get that worked out soon.

This weekend brought on the sale at Hancock. I ran to get material to make Bonnie a blanket. Then realized all of the fleece was on sale and thought this would be a GREAT time to pick extra up and get busy with Christmas. (Whoa...what had come over me???) The lady at the cloth table was simply with envy and jokingly sneering at me. She said she had not even started. No reason to get overly excited...I probably won't buy another Christmas present until after the turkey and dressing are digesting as I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I am very proud that I've gotten 4 blankets done this weekend. Bon and Chase are both excited with theirs...like we need more here, we are blanket poor as it is. I've managed to finish two presents and have three more to do. I'm thinking at LEAST one more will get done tonite. They are wonderful "TV" crafts...after cutting, I can just sit and tie them up...feeling my way to skip the correct flaps. I guess it is much like my knitting...quite therapeutic.
