Dear Darren,
YES -- it was gloomy here in southern CA today.
I securely sewed three pockets on the wrong side of the lining for a quilter's bag that had to be shipped today to get to the guild meeting in time for the holiday party next Wednesday.
I made it to the P.O. just before package pick-up!
Next "due-date" is Dec. 20, but DH says "do-it now"!
