Sorry that I have been absent lately. I've been trying to get my sewing obligations finished. I made 4 ornaments for a friend to give to co-workers. I also made 3 sets of microwave bowl hot pads for a friend in Virginia. Now that there is only a week left until Christmas, I have to start baking. I'll be making ginger snaps (my brother's favorite), decorated cut-out sugar cookies, white chocolate/cranberry, shortbread cookies and a pumpkin cheese cake to take to my nieces's for Christmas dinner. My son loves to bake and has taken over making most of grandma's cookies. Nut rolls, snickerdoodles, chocolate crinkles, Russian tea cakes, orange cookies, peanut butter, thumbprint and makes his own cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. Nobody goes hungry around here. We love to give to friends and family.
My thoughts go out to all those who are ill, on the mend or have lost a loved one. The quilts I've seen have been really beautiful. Great job! And to those who are expecting new grands, enjoy making quilts and clothes for the little ones.
I've had a scare of my own. I smoked for 44 years and quit 9 years ago. My doctor wanted me to go to a lung cancer screening and a CT of my lungs. I just got the results today. I have 5 nodules in my lungs. The radiologist said non-malignant calcification. I will have to be tested again in 3 months since one is a little larger than the others. But, to me, that was pretty good news. For now, I'll take it.
If I don't get a chance to write again before Christmas, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. (((Hugs to all)))
