So how are you coming along with your holiday sewing & gifts? I'm doing ok....better than last year so I guess that's an improvement! I'm trying to keep things much simplier than previous years to keep the stress level a bit lower and my own expectations more realistic. I've been working on my son's quilt top and that is coming along fine. I have two apron panels left to make for chef daughter and no idea what to make for my other daughter. I'm sure something will come to me soon!
Today I need to work on some samples for teaching. The classes won't start until January but I'd really like to be a few months ahead of schedule. One project is a once a month class so my goal is to have January, February and March classes done by the end of December. I can do that!!
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. My son will be flying home for a few days. I'm looking forward to his visit. Of course, we'll have a big Thanksgiving dinner. One year we decided to take a little holiday for the Thanksgiving weekend. I thought it was a great idea since I wouldn't have to cook. For many years all of my kids were working in the restaurant business in one form or another and they had to work Thanksgiving day so we would have our dinner once everyone was home. This particular time everyone had that time off so a little holiday seemed like a good idea. Off we went to the east coast of Florida, staying right on the Atlantic. We had a great time but had to head back home on Saturday as everyone was working on Sunday, except me. Imagine my surprise when all of my kids expected I would make our usual big Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday for when they finished work that day!! Wow! Silly of me to think I'd have a cook free holiday! From that time forward, my kids refuse to go anywhere for Thanksgiving as they don't want to miss my "famous" stuffing.
And I thought no one was paying attention to family traditions!
Happy sewing,
loreen
