Do you realize that it is a bit less than two weeks to Christmas? Are you ready for it? I am close. Got most things wrapped, though I do have to get a couple wrapped and mailed. We bought the ham the other day, but still have to figure just what all we are having. Since there are so few of us I do not do near the cooking that I did when younger.

I have decided to make a crumb border for the quilt top that is on my design wall. It is taking me longer to make it than it did to make the top. Or at least that is how I feel. I try to sew a little bit each day. Some days I do more than others. I had a friend comment on the post of the top the other day saying that crumb blocks are hard work. I must say I agreed with her...they are no mile a minute block for me. Yet they are sort of mindless. No worrying about seam allowances or points matching. Just sew and trim.
I am in the mood for a new sewing machine....I don't need one. I absolutely love my Juki 98Q...I just want one to play with and maybe have upstairs. And it is another Juki that I want...but have been looking at some of the cheaper Brother sewing machines. I have been debating on getting a little sewing cabinet and bringing one of mine upstairs from the basement. I know though that I would end up running up and down the steps half a dozen times every time I wanted to sit and sew. Plus there would be the mess upstairs...so I never quite take the plunge to bring it up.

I think it is supposed to get up to the freezing mark in the next day or two...and we are supposed to have snow tonight and tomorrow. If it gets up that warm, and it does actually snow, I am wondering if it will be a heavy snow that lays on branches and sticks to fences...I hope it is.
For the first time I am really showing my age about snow...I really consider the fact that we might get in a wreck when going out for pics. Even on the back roads. I have never been a fan of being on main roads right after a snow, but on the back roads where there is hardly any traffic, I have always felt pretty secure. So we shall see whether we get out even if we do get a nice snow.
