I too have been busy-made 22 tree ornaments, a tree skirt, a table runner and now putting the border on an applique wall quilt-all the past week. My new sewing machine just arrived-yea! A Brother PC420 Project Runway-which I have been trying to learn how to use! (I was my own Santa this year!) Today I took time to put up and decorate the tree! I just put the blinders on when walking thru the house so I don't feel guilty for the mess that has accumulated from neglect!
