I work at a senior center and we had a banquet to honor our volunteers. I made placemats with adult coloring graphics printed on them. I have never seen them so quiet and focused. It was also calming for them. Any one else tried adult coloring?

Waiting for one more item to arrive - then my box will be ready to go. Finished a couple of homemade gifts last week.
Gosh, so many questions.
My idea of outdoor fun is sitting on our porch watching the HOA workers mow the yard, trim our bushes,etc,. Love the smell of grass that someone else has cut!
As for plants, well I have a black thumb... probably why I machine embroider flowers a lot !!
Books - yes, love to read mysteries. Did you know there are mysteries that evolve around quilt shop and bookstore owners?
Salty or sweet? Salty usually.
Clover clips - like them a lot, especially the large green ones. Prefer them to pins- easier on the fingers - but have plenty.

I finished up the last of my shopping for my SP yesterday, just need to get everything together to see what size box I will need. I have so much fun doing the box up for my SP each year!

Read only on kindle, don't bother with magazines much.
love sweet & salty together!
Don't decorate much for any holiday anymore, but love them!

I made a stocking today for my person. I have my box filled with goodies. I just have to find time to get it shipped.
I did the stocking on my serger. When I sat down to serge this morning I discovered that the sewing room fairies had managed to unthread the lower loopers. If you ever want to see me have a bad time, come over when I'm trying to thread the serger. It traumatizes me.
