Baby Quilts

Today I managed to get over half of the first baby quilt material cut out....Loving my new Rotary cutter.....
Do you ever have a problem with your rule moving while cutting fabric? I have, and it is so frustrating....Light bulb went off today after all these years of cutting with a rotary cutter....I decided to slide some of that rubbery mat stuff that you can purchase in the stores in rolls...I use it under my cutting board and such in the kitchen to keep it from moving....Well....HELLO.....It works great for the ruler not moving.....

Day after Christmas shopping and Breakfast with my boys!

Today went into town with both of my sons...we visited one of my favorite stores and did a little after Christmas shopping. I was able to pick out two gifts, and also purchased another small Christmas tree.

Gifts from Deni

Received a beautiful pillow made by my dear friend Deni...and it smells like lavender..Yummy!!!
and I also received a new addition to my snowman collection!!!!!
Such precious gifts!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Piles of papers and filing

Today no sewing again, did some more online shopping. Did manage to go through some paper piles and also clean out some desk drawers....it was nice to throw away lots of old and now unwanted papers....oh the accumulation of papers!!!!!

I did work on my to do list of things I need to accomplish soon. Cleared a path around the sewing machine in preparation of the sewing to come!!!! Have some patterns out and material washed and dried.

I packaged up a couple of gifts to mail off to Mother in Law. They will go off in the mail in the morning. I could kick myself as I always procrastinate and mail her gift late in December every year, then I am on pins and needles hoping she receives it by Christmas......Maybe next year I will do better.
