Morning..

Sharon your weather report is likely correct, no snow yet but is coming..let’s hope Dianne and I get just enough to cover ground to look pretty..not sure what Susan’s weather is like..

Couldn’t sleep last night, Gary’s death was bothering me so got up at 4 and started to appliqué the pieces on the quilt..the designer said no appliqué just quilt but couldn’t bring myself to do so.. i glued the small pieces and will include quilting them when i fine tine with clears thread stitching ..please it is going quicker than i thought..

I’m upstairs on couch, so hoping i don’t lose my energy, can’t afford to time wise.

Over a month ago a senior had asked me to pain a wedding cake topper she had tried to do that is over 75 years ago, called me yesterday, she needed it by Wednesday so sat and did it.,thank god i didn’t have to do satin bottom of dress and only had to touch flesh on face and foreheads, certainly would NOT have attempted doing it. She had knee surgery not long ago, will drop in and pick it up tomorrow, she will call me when she is in drive and i will bring it out to her, then one of the moms asked if she could pick up 2 Victorian Santa’s..she will drop in tomorrow

Only other in-house commitment will be my niece who is pick in up a tote full of Christmas projects i had done over the past few years, she is having a rough time this year, felt bad she could buy gifts so she will drop 8n and get them..if time permits she will do a gnome tabletop arrangement.. i will have to go cut cedar this afternoon, will need a break anyway. Pat is also dropping in tomorrow..busy busy..ok as long as they don’t stay long lol

Make sure Pat i pay my guy, word gets around, imagine the shovelling i would have to do.. silly people.
Dianne I pay by the season, usually I get the better of the deal.

Sharon, glad it’s not Covid, new variant is at a higher contact number than the first. You made me chuckle, i also cannot wait until it’s finished and i see end result

Dianne, liver and oni9ns aren’t my thing, you will get a kick out of this, i wouldn’t let Roger make it, once i threw away a pit he cooked it in..silly girl as i eat blood pudding.,never gave a second thought as to why it was called blood pudding.. miss my fil who always made me some for Xmas.

Still working details for Christmas

Looks like i will have Jeff and the boys and mom for supper Christmas Eve supper..then we will go to Kyle’s afterwards..

Jeff will leave around noon and Mel and Greg will comes fir Christmas lunch then i will go to Sharon’s fir Christmas supper..

I will have Jeff’s boys bring in all the empty totes from back shed into basement before they leave..am sure Boxing Day i will be packing up Christmas
Will wait fir mid January to take out Valentine’s Day totes..shaking my head.

Gave my shoulders a rest, took out supper from freezer, best i get back downstairs..

Did Sharon more fsl ornaments, just did a snowflake for me, will put another on the hoop, with the diachronic diamonds how they sparkle on the tree
