Some Things Are Just Hilarious

I started off my day cleaning the sewing room. Larry got me a new work bench tool box from Sam's Club for Christmas. So I began putting things in drawers, etc. I went through my meager stash and folded it neatly. And straightened shelves. I didn't get finished but I did make progress. Craig came in this morning and said, "You mean you already have the top covered with stuff."

As I was cleaning the room, I had the embroidery machine going stitching out a pattern for a scarf like I made my sisters for Christmas. I'm glad I got that cream colored fleece because it matches the coat Kelsey got me for Christmas. I sure wish I could get some gloves to match. Well, I guess I could, but we all know how long they would stay that color. Not very. lol

This was another $1 pattern from Embroidery Library. It had about 30 thread changes and took over two hours to stitch out.

Larry was working so the kids and I had leftovers for dinner. I think we were all happy we didn't have to cook. The only problem was that I had planned to make fresh rolls today and forgot all about it until time to eat. So I was disappointed--no rolls.

After we ate, Craig and I played WII for hours. We played basketball, golf, table tennis, wave boarding, sword fighting, and I don't know what all else. We laughed until we cried and then laughed some more. Hence, the title of this blog post.

So I didn't get my "Snowbound" Quilt top finished but I had a blast. I did get the first border strips cut out. They are waiting patiently in a pile for me to sew on.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll get back on track. But it's Christmas break and this time is so much more fun and relaxing when I just go with the flow and do whatever catches my fancy. Chiropractor first thing in the morning, then sewing, a good salad for lunch (to counteract all I've eaten the past two days), more sewing and straightening the house, and then ball games in the evening. What a life!

Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!
