I, also, have to go back today for inservice and tomorrow the kids start back. I am trying to figure out how I can sneak my sewing machine into the classroom! LOL....

You said "fell"
Hope you are ok!

I spent two days using up my Christmas fabric by making 16 aprons and matching potholders. The Christmas stuff is half down and what a mess!

Took my tree down New Years Day. Am frantically hand quilting on a double quilt I started on about 2 years ago. Determined to get it done this year.

I have and I'm not ashamed of it. Household chores are more loyal than any husband or old dog---it doesn't matter how many others are in the house, chores will never cheat on you no matter how much you ignore them. They don't get their feelings hurt or get jealous. They'll sit right by your feet, to your left, right, front and or back and wait for you until you make time for them.
I once left my tree up until two of my step children got to come home. I changed the decorations to go with the different seasons. By the time we were able to locate and go get them it was July so the tree had little flags and the lights were red, white, and blue.

I have had to be at work and all I can think of is the unfinished little candy bar quilt sitting by my machine. The decorations are still up, the little quilt unfinished and this week-end will be a challenge....... quilt or decorations just like many of the rest of us!
