*stumble, grumble groan grouch*.. ok.. so.. I friggin hurt.. from the gym trainer, then the foot of snow, then unearthing my truck this morning after 1 hour of sleep, to shovelling again when I got home.. I'm tired. Boss told me.. oh you gotta be here at 6... nope.. didn't have ot be there til 6:30.. *scowl* coulda slept a little longer. I'm thinking I need a nap but then I worry I will have another 1 hour sleep night. See why I can't think of sewing right now? I still haven't finished my paper due wed.

SNOW????? What's that? We here in Texas son't know much about that so called, whute stuff from the sky.... LOL
=We were to have a COLD front come in, and it did, ..............44 degrees oh well atleast it's not 100+ !!!

I'd LOVE to trade to weather with you BUT>>>only if I could stay inside AND QUILT!!!

Pamprin and Exedrin both contain a good dose of caffeine - I've used them both before when weaning myself off the sugary, bubbly crack in 2 litre bottles.

My runner left the mailbox on Saturday for somewhere south and east of me.

I had 3 finals today, 1 more tomorrow and 1 that is for an online class. I'm going to finish that last one on Weds when Alice is having her surgery.

This has been an incredibly easy semester, but it feels like it's been going for 8 months instead of 4.

this is one of those threads where you snooze, you lose! always so much to catch up on! i have taken a detour from my usual swap work, to make reversible christmas stockings. i will post pictures! i am making them with one quilted side and the other 3 plain. flip it inside out and it's a different stocking. i am making 8. 4 for each family of three. perhaps the extra stocking will inspire them to create a 4th family member (devious grammi at work!). they have been fun to make, but have taken more time than i planned. grrrrr. just for fun i bought both of my olivias matching outfits and pne for o'lala's 18inch doll. i hope they look adorable! and more important, i hope they all fit!!! once the stockings are finished i'm back to swapping! and i hope they get here tomorrow so i can turn it around and mail it out ! aren't the holidays fun?!? i asked for an 18" henry doll from pottery barn kids, and 'accidental' i ended up with two! congrats to me!!!TWINS!! LOL

ok I seemed to have missed a bunch too! Love to see your tablerunner Marybeth when your partner posts it! I am almost ready to make my second one. My dq's are all in the mail :) and my Christmas project is moving along at an alright pace got a reprieve it doesnt have to leave here til Christmas day so that gives me til the 21st so its finished before my daughter gets here. Yippee! I think those are cool sounding stockings Nancia please show us!
ANASTASIA ball fringe? BALL FRINGE? are you making a dual use item? like a table runner / cat toy? please say you didnt draw my name and have an evil side to you?? My cats would thank you profusely and send you whats left when they are finished. I had a bit of that fringe once and it was sooo much loved. same with tassels. ohhh sooo fun.

Kelly and Anastasia CONGRATULATIONS school is over! (for a bit) I know you both will do superb on your tests and hope you get at least two weeks off for bad behavior!

Tam...Moo was my maker, pic on post 511 is mine, DH and I just loved it was like she was in my house messured my table and made a perfect tabble runner, Thank you again Angela

Received my tablerunner from Brat! It is pretty, I am bringin into my office so I can enjoy it here and the office needs some pretty color anyway. Thank you for the candy bar. Yep it was my breakfast today. Not the smartest thing to eat, but was sure good. Now I will be pumped up till lunch then eat healthy and nap this pm, wish. Back to work. So busy. touching base to let know I received tablerunner and thank you so much!!!!

Hurgh....im sick of this week already. Have got a collective 4 hrs of sleep since sunday evening. Im crabby cold tired and really noy feeling this whole training everything again that i just spent the last 3 weeks learning just cause HR wants it standardized. Disrupting my schedule for this is making me crabby. I still ache all over but getting better. I have one page of 5 written for my final paper due tomorrow. Sigh.

Marybeth, good luck looking for a 301. I am looking, too. Sent mine home with my DSister. She came, we sewed, she loved, I sent!! DH wanted to know why I sent one of my favs with her. Cause I knew it was reliable and easy to adjust and fix. I have a 501 that just needs cleaned u p. I am nhoping it is just as nice. But with cams for decorative sewing. Though I will prob still use my modern Janome for that. You will not regret purchasing one of those machines!!

It is finished! Pics have been taken and posted on Facebook for all my friends and such to ooh and ah over, and I'm going to be ready to ship tomorrow. So, if you live west of the Mississippi River, watch your mailbox! INCOMING! :)
