Donna C, that's a beautiful wreath! What a great idea, putting on a slide show to remind your family how lucky you all have been. Hope the remodelling job will be finished before Santa comes visiting.
Great eBay tips there Brenda. I don't have a program to snipe and having dial up prevents me to bid last minute. So I always bid what I want to pay for, and add those pennies!
Brenda, great photography btw! Check out her site, sistahs!!
OMG!!!!! Now you've done make our niece's head swell more Phyllis!! That is one gorgeous piece!! I bet you can sell that for beaucoup $$$!!! Yep, Stacey's wings will be flitting 24hrs. waiting on that masterpiece! I know I've asked this before.. but what is it that you CANNOT do, Phyllis?
Post pix of your woodland Santa Debra. You know how we are a bunch of nosey sistahs when it comes to crafts :D Well, if you can come up with a "Bourbon Street" sign, that will be perfect!! Kidding!! Please, don't tell your DD that!!
Now that's funny.. forgot about your hubby's wreaths!! I can see him making appointments ahead of time if he need to spend some time with you!! Lolol!
I bookmark the site Tina-Tia. Somehow she disengage the quilting link, but that quilting arc ruler caught my eye. Thanks Tina.
Poor Don. Yep. men are bigger babies when they're ill. So, BJ, hope he gets better real fast.. for your sake! Already got Sis pulling her hair out.. don't want you to go bald!
Kim, welcome back!! So your vacation starts and there you are baking and asking about rolled oats!! When I first got here, I thought truly, that's what I was supposed to do with the oats. And I did rolled the oats then too!! Ex was overseas, no neighbours, no friends to call.. well I had a good laugh after I realised it's just what cut oats were called too!!
Congrats on the sewing machine, Kim. You'll do fine..
Aww, (((((((((Susan)))))))))) No fun and game when taking care of Alzheimer patients. Unwind here anytime, believe me, it feels so much better when you let it all out. Don't hide your head.. please.. be proud that you're taking on a task that many will just walk away from. You must also set aside time for yourself.. or have someone come in to relieve you.
Sis, we've been missing you!! Call me before you decide to use that gun on Mike!!
I'm not sending out my swaps till after Christmas! I know one of my swap "sistahs" is not the patient kind:D Lord help her!!!

Yippeee, another crafter is among us. Kim, those draft things will be easy to make, just sew a straight seam, wide enough for your insulators to slide down into. Then space it out, for a second on the other side. Probably 3 inches should be enough between the sleeves, unless you have a really wide doot?
Let us know how it goes, then we can find more sewing projects for you!!!

LOL

LK

Oh God!!! Thought Marion's bad.. you too LK?
LOL!!!!! BTW, straight sewing is all you need for quilting too, Kim ^_^

Niece, Dec. 15th, and the last date will be January 7th 2009.

ROFL Marion on your hint LOL

Jaye to answer you..ummmmmm....I Can't wiggle my ears ......can't knit...can't tole paint......ummm will think of more

Kim, I have a feeling you got the Brothers machine that Walmart had and you can't go wrong with that one. Welcome to the club. Door draft stoppers sounds like a great idea and yes, you are on your way to joining our sewing club--ah enablers groupl.

OMG 1 day off and you guys got me doing eveything don't forget I HAVE MY PLANTS i HAVE TO GET UP TO PAR ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AND there is that darn cap button again sorry . When I saw the draft door stoppers I thought this might be chepper and easy I used to make rag doll and for the life of me I can't remeber how but I had to sew a rond face thats about as far as I have gone But maybe one day I can make a top for my Vacation HAHAHAH

I am sure you will!!! Just keep it up--the baking also but share please!!!

Hey All,
I am no saint trust me and now feel like crap as the family called and told us her sister is in the hospital with low blood sugar then we get another call telling us she had a heart attach... Nothing they can do as she only is 83 pounds and to frail for anything.... Shoot when it rains it pours.... I asked Mary if she wanted to fly up and she said no she does not want if her twin is going to see her like that...
Paid my bills cleaned up the kitchen and the living room now have to vacume it all... Kim, it was after Christmas last year I ran to your house remember...LOL This time I will have to remember to bring my own socks...LOLOL Hey you lent me a pair and I still wear them and they are my special socks... If I am gloomy I wear them out... If work is going to kill me I wear them there and also sometimes they bring me good luck.... All around socks....LOLOL Shoot I am not coming to your house to clean as you can come to mine and help.... When I come to your house is to rest and spend time with my bud... Psssst and watch her sleep.... don't tell Kim I said that...LOLOLOL Have pictures to prove it...
Ok going to download my xmas tree and will post it later....
See you in a few.
Hugs,
Susan

She is selling it for beaucoup bucks tante Jaye!!LOL

DANG, CUZ !!!.... you've lost how much weight? Sheesh... you're gonna blow away....
I can relate to how Mike is driving you nuts... Don does that after just a couple days underfoot... you've had him home much longer... poor cuz...

I can also relate your dilemma Susan... I tried to take care of my g'ma when she had Alzheimer... I had 3 sons at home too. It's tough, at best. God bless you.

Well, I convinced Don not to get out there in the cold wind to put up the Christmas lights and decorations. He just feels too bad to do that. Plus, he took TWO Sudafeds without reading the directions... he was only suppose to take one, and now he feels loopy. He went to bed and is watching tv now.
Guess what I'm doing today? Don wanted Thanksgiving dinner again today... LOL... who knew? He's not usually into eating all the left overs, and he's gone so much I sent all the left overs home with the boys Thursday. I did keep some of the turkey for sandwiches, so I'm now making a brand new batch of dressing from scratch with the broth I saved from the bottom of the roaster. So, here I go again... another all day spent in the kitchen... but, ya know... he rarely asks for anything special for dinner... so, I don't mind.

Gotta go and bake something. See ya.

I can't keep up!!!!!!!!!
BJ, tell Don that Bill says Honey, Lemon and a good shot of scotch are great for colds...Take your glass out, set out ingredients.....pour a good portion of Scotch in glass.........return lemon and Honey to their proper place.....enjoy the glass of Scotch!!! Says it works, wonders!

Phyllis, Love the Stained glass!!!!! Something else I have always wanted to do!!!! But will have to leave that to you to do for me, can't afford anymore hobbies!!!

Susan I know how hard it can be for you.........we went through it with the husband of my mom's best friend and it isn't fun.....my mothers eldest brother and sister also had alzheimers (sp). Mum worries constantly that she will get it.........I tell her to quit worrying about it, that she won't remember, and we will take care of it......i don't think she has too much to worry about...at 80 her memory is much better than mine......I may need to worry!!

Deborah, check in when you can, you and Lisa are in our prayers, as are AnnMarie and her family.

Kim, dates are a good thing.....either kind:)

My Niece, her DH, 2 small boys and her BIL (they are from Juneau) are all at mom's so we will be keeping busy...my nephew and their Grandmother from Portland, and my nephew from Tacoma will be here tomorrow..........a full house to say the least....and my kids will stop over to visit their cousins of course.....TUESDAY WILL COME!!!

Have stuff that has to get shipped today.....at least I think I can send my DB and SIL's Gift on the plane with my niece......save shipping, which is not cheap to Alaska!!.....almost as bad as France!

I know I have missed a lot, sorry......waving to all....will try to catch up later......and yes we do want pictures of everything from everyone!!!

My tiny bit of sunshine on a gloomy day!

Gosh I am glad I am not the only one who can't keep up ....LOLOL Just got off the phone with Ms. Dimmer and she cheered me up and laughed about my mens slippers...LOLOL Still can't find my other ones so mens slippers it is...LOLOL
Here is a picture of our Xmas tree with nothing on it except the sets of lights it comes with ... We add more lights with color but that part has not happened yet... we have one set on the tree that never has lit up...LOL I do like the tree... We have had fresh ones for years after my mom passed but they kill my lungs so last year we got this one... works for me....
Hugs,
Susan

Must be an invisible tree?

Well so far I have baked and start to put up my christmas village I haven't done this in a long time and forgot what I had. I am starting to get in the spirt hope it will stay
Dimmer

Kim, that is a very pretty Christmas village! If I were to have one, it will look like a neanderthal village!!!
There's no way you'll lose the spirit... not with us!! We are already 'into' Christmas, the minute the sistahood is formed!!

Pretty village! Let's see the tree!

Brenda

Not yet still have lots of cleanning to do BUT I no I being a pest But give me a break Its my first day off
Ok here are my bars I made date instead of Raspberry bars they don't look bad now to get someone to taste them ^_^

Hands off!!! That's mine!!!

JUST what do you mean there are yours? Age comes first!!! LOL

If you're gonna squabble I will take it!!!

Slapping hands... I'll take it... now that I am eating everything in sight... IT'S MINE !!!!

Wait... better save it for after dinner...
Thanksgiving dinner is being served in 15 mins.... once again.

Ah, yeah, BJ - save it for after dinner.

I'll hold it for you ......................................

Nah nah nah nah nah.. I saw it first.. and it's yummmmmmmmyyy!!

I have to tell you it was so easy to make once I new you didn't have to roll your oat I like to roll mine thou

Ok, I lost that piece to Jaye... so I'll just scrounge around Kim's kitchen to find where she hid it... I'll find me another piece.

Mmmmm... dinner was soooo good... I think today's cornbread dressing was better than what I made Thangsgiving...

I think Don's double dose of Sudafed is wearing off now... he's just grumpy now, not so pitifully whiney.

Kim,those look so good, pass the plate please? Glad to see you back online.

Bj, another Thanksgiving dinner. I think Don is a spoiled hubby for sure! And I don't blame you. Tell him I said hello, and make it a double on the scotch!!!

Marion and jaye, I got your packages today, and wanted to say thank you soooooo much for the mates to my previous socks, and other goodies you sent.

First is Jayes box.

First of all she sent the other belly dancing sock, with the coins on top, then she sent a pair of knee hi socks, and a pair of ankle socks, with the prettiest Christmas prints on them. And look at the pom poms!
Don't go to far, there is more to come from Jaye...
LK

And if the socks weren't enough she sent about 2 yards of fabric to go with the leaf runner I am working on, and it is going to go very well, with all the fall colors, it is so nice, and I love it.

But there is more....

And to satisfy my sweet tooth, she sent this nice box of choccies!!!!
Jaye, thank you so much, Big hugs going your way.
Thank you so much!
Linda Kay

Awwww.... how sweet of you Jaye...
Pass the tray of choccies, LK... I want one of those too. They'll go good with the date bars I'm still looking for in Kim's kitchen.

LK those are great! Love the Fabric.

Kim isn't the only one off for the Season..........our Flower Lady that was dressed for the construction all summer and fall is now in her Holiday Best!!!!!

Now miss Marion, sent this wonderful package of the other purple sock from her previous one to match, and anothe stack of quilting magazines. Now you are really going to get me into something. Hubby just shook his head, as i was showing him some of the fancy quilting machines!!!!

Thank you so much for making my day!

You both have done too much already, and I can't even begin to say thank you enough!
Some day, you both will get a personal hug from me!!!!

THANK YOU!

Linda Kay

Help yourself, there is plenty to go around. Let me know when you find the plate of the datebars.
