I love my little home out here in the sticks and have no desire to travel. I have been blessed with a gift of the ability to sew. So I quilt for others on my wonderful machines and make gifts for my family. I certainly understand what it is like to not have any extra money, been there. Bless all of you, and you are more than welcome to come "play in my sandbox" and I will share my toys with you.
(your an excellent sharer.) Although, can I get a rain check for summer. I am such a wus. I hate the cold. (Yeah, I know, what a wus.) lol, I don't even own a jacket.

mmmh, macaroons sound yummy grann, I'll be over with coffee to join you. What a wonderful (now considered old fashioned) thing to do. I just know your cookies are probably enjoyed by all those wonderful people. That is the one thing I miss and love about a smaller town. Is there anything I can bring you?

I don't eat chocolate, but I give cookies to the mail carrier, the trashmen, and will take a big plate up to the post office for all to enjoy. This is a small community with only 8000 people in the whole mailing area, so I figure they will enjoy having them to munch on while sorting the mail.

Thank you CindyLuella,That sounds like how my family used to be. But, now so many are gone and spread out. (I wish I had that problem) But, this year, I get to share my daughters in-laws. And I'm sure they will more than fill the "crazy" longing. Because they sure do have there quirks. But, I'm going to thank god I have this opportunity to join family and overlook the crazy. Have a Happy Holiday. And, I know you will enjoy your crazy family holiday anyway.(what is it about the holidays, they either bring out the best or the worst in us.)

I always say it's a good thin my family can't get along. There's so many of us, that if we ever all agreed on anything we could take over a small country!
For those who are facing the dreaded relatives... May you be a duck this holiday season and let it all roll off your back!

Millie, you POSTED! I saw that gorgous stack of fabric in person. I think I can help you fill it out and we can come up with something fabulous, to make with it. It's like your SS channelled your taste in fabric to a tee. And I know you love to crochet in front of the tv. I know, you could make a nice needlecase for your crochet needles with the fabric. Or a table runner.(LOL) It's a good thing I told you we opened on the 11th or your little package would still be sitting there waiting to be opened. I see I'm going to have to update you a little more. (LOL) Well what are friends for. (tease, tease) I'm sorry I was slacking on the job. But, But, someone got me addicted to these turtles. Do you know anyone who fits that description. (LOL)Ack, turtles on the brain.

Well, (tease, and a big grin) I'm a toucher. I love the feel of fabric. I tell you what, I'll bring the chocolate and we can visit.
