November already?



Yikes. I have not done well with keeping this blog going. I'll try anew.



The school year has flown by and the kids are doing well. I'm trying to get a grip on all the holiday plans, gifts, and entertaining to be done. I have managed to get the Christmas card done and the envelopes already addressed. This is due to being stuck downstairs for a day while new carpet was being installed upstairs. The new carpet is great...one continuous hallway of carpet, not pieces covering the remodeled hallway. They also re-nailed the floor, so most of the annoying squeaks are gone. It is also much quieter...don't know why particularily, but enjoying it anyway.



Sewing projects completed include hemming curtains for sis and bro-in-law, jammie pants for son, halloween skirt for daughter, scottie dog skirt for daughter, Christmas dress for daughter(just needs buttons), blue floral dress for daughter(just needs to be smocked), a xmas gift for daughter(not to be mentioned yet), a slipcover for my sewing chair(soooo cute)and fixed my hubby's jacket by replacing a broken zipper.



I have plans to make a few more Christmas gifts ... can't give away any surprises yet.
