Since my birthday is also in December, I have to make sure and differentiate between the two so that I always get two gifts from my DH. For my birthday, I got the circular attachment for my Bernina 440 and have been having fun doing circles. I have made a bunch of coasters / hot pot holders. One of my bosses always gives me a birthday gift, so I purchased the #55 leather foot (of course, I waited until the accessories were on sale). For Christmas, my son's family gave me a GC to the LQS. With that and the gifts my bosses gave me, I will be able to get 3 other feet (couching, FM couching and pintucks) and have enough left over to pay for a retreat I am planning to attend in April.
