Hubby got a bee in his bonnet this year and bought me a new bernina crystal edition 790e and a laptop. I couldn't believe what all came with it. Five huge boxes of goodies. So much fun to unpack it all. I am flabbergasted. Now I just want some sweat sets and cozy socks to sew in.
I have all my wrapping finished, the decorating done and went to a christmas gala for hubby's charity event, The diabetes chapter for children. I haven't dressed up formal in years. That was fun. A fairytale christmas already. I would love to hear Mesiah at the local university, but, that is not going to happen. Maybe I will find a recording to order of it on-line.

What I really would like for Christmas would be for my daughter and SIL to get over being mad at me and let me see and spend time with my granddaughter. She's been weaponized, unfortunately. Makes me sad as I can be.
Parents who use children to get back at family members are loathsome. It's not fair to the child and I think a horrible kind of mental abuse. Seems you SIL would have the decency to speak up about this but he is either scared of his wife or just as hateful as her. I can only imagine what the child is learning from all this. I know it hurts you to the core.

Susie, I bought the book All The Songs, about all of the Beach Boys music. I was dying to know who sang which parts, played which instruments, etc. So much great background info in there! I splurged and bought it for myself several months ago.
As for Christmas gifts, there isn't anything I really want. I bought a couple of things for myself on Black Friday and Cyber Monday... some Bombas socks and some Accuquilt dies. That's my Christmas!

Really sorry about your situation and hope it improves. Thanks again for the heads up on the book.

I never thought I’d have to put this on a wish list but all I want is for our grandson’s crazy wife to back off and let their 2 adorable children see their Grandparents (our daughter & our son in law). It’s their only grandchildren and they love them so much. Grandson & the crazy one don’t talk to us either but so be it, just let our DD and SIL see them. It’s so sad and if it got resolved today, they’d never gain those days back. Narcissistic people are impossible.

In a way it does relate to quilting. You can get out of the driveway to get to the fabric shop!

I do not need anything quilting so I have added to my B&D tools. I now have a pole-saw and a 12" chain saw for the farm trimming. They have joined the drill, saws-all, weed trimmer and circular saw. I think I am all set to get things done.
I am trying to use up my stash and make things for charity.

Well, my FOOD SAVER machine up and blew a gasket or something, so while I was out grocery shopping I bought another one at Walmart. Then husband sent a text that he ordered one online. Asked him to please cancel it, told him all I wanted was a couple large bags of wild bird seed for my 5 feeders. Later that evening while watching the TV there was a commercial for an Airfryer,, before I could say anything he said he ordered me one for Christmas. Still not sure if I really wanted one or not. He did go out yesterday and get me 3 large bags of birdseed. So, I'm feeding the birds for a couple of months!
