Secret Santa 2017-Signups Closed--All Names Out
#141
love gift cards to places i like to shop like Joanne's, hobby lobby, book stores. favorite place to eat is a restaurant called Great Moon Buffet--chinese/American food--i always eat too much but the food is so good. buy most of my new fabric at Hobby Lobby or Joanne's but love S R Harris also but dont get there often as I dont drive. I also shop thrift stores for fabric remnants to use for the scrappy tops i make for the church group--the ladies there give me their scraps too.
been slowly getting some of my Xmas shopping and sewing done, My list ms to grow every year even without adding new family members or friends. last year we met my daughter's half brother and his family and since he was unemployed, we 'adopted' his family as our yearly "santa help" project rather than getting a family from the welfare rolls.

I know I can get my hands on my person's "wants" item, so feel good about that!
Do You like jewelry and do you have pierced ears? Like jewelry, but not supposed to wear it at work, so it doesn't get changed up often.
do you decorate a tree at Christmas time? Some years.
Do you like pot holders or kitchen towels? Yes and yes.
Do you use table toppers or table runners? No
Do you like FQ's or 1/4 or 1/2 yards of fabric? I can use either one
Do you use flannel fabric? Yes
What notions does everyone need a bunch of? I could use a good seam ripper!
I love aprons. I have an addiction Scarves I don't use as often, but if it is 100% natural fibers (wool, cotton, silk, etc), I can wear it outside at work when doing my rounds. Gloves-- I have super short pinkies so they never fit me unless they are stretchy or made just for me.
Do you like special soap or lotions? Yes
Do you use Microwave bowls? I do, but I don't actually microwave them, just use them to hold the hot bowl because I don't eat stuff out of a bowl at a table like a normal person...
I do not have a keirig (however it is spelled), but there is one at work that make ok coffee if it is really dark (it makes anything else really weak). I love dark and flavored coffees, ground or whole bean.
I'm not sure if I put it in the questionnaire, but I would love something "from home"... a postcard, a magnet (I love magnets and collect them from every place I visit), etc.

Right now I'm working on finishing a crocheted blanket I'm making for my son. I've used three skeins of big, fluffy yarn (Bernat blanket yarn, "Cloudy Sky Twist") so far, but my son is over 6 foot tall, so I'm going to to add another two or three skeins to make it big enough. I don't know how to follow a crochet pattern yet, so I'm making one huge granny square. I started it on the plane last week (yea for lucking out and having no one in the seat next to me!) and worked on it before my class each day. It helps me stay awake during my night shifts, so hoping I can finish it in the next few nights.

Thank you, I hope so! I got another skein of yarn on it last night, but then had to rip out my last row (all four sides, so about 20 feet of stitching...) I thought I was paying close attention to my corners, but I messed one up (again, lol). It's all (quilting, crocheting, knitting, etc) definitely a labor of love!

I want to ask some questions!Do You like jewelry and do you have pierced ears? do you decorate a tree at Christmas time? Do you like pot holders or kitchen towels? Do you use table toppers or table runners? Do you like FQ's or 1/4 or 1/2 yards of fabric? Do you use flannel fabric. What notions does everyone need a bunch of? I already know most don't want scraves or gloves or aprons! Do you like special soap or lotions? Do you use Microwave bowls?
Sorry I've been MIA, been busy with quilt show season. Just had 4 entries, won 7 ribbons! Also have a craft fair the day after our mail out deadline. But I'll try to do better at keeping up!
