Darling, we all have been there. My block isn't from my mind, but from all the stuff that has been thrust upon me at home! I started two quilts for my kids for Christmas, ready to do the top of the adults in the quilt as you go method, and then finish Emma's Fairy Tale Princess - but life has gotten in the way of life! Now heard that my cousin, husband are coming from NH and bringing the granddaughter.....it has been suggested that they find an inexpensive motel nearby so they can come and go at their leisure. I am in the middle of my own pointsettia blocks as well.....it is no wonder that I can't find my seam ripper, nor my other little scissors or those last sets of leaves.....
