Scott Home for Christmas

Friday, December 21st, 2007

I called Scott about four this afternoon to find out how near he was to home and to ask if he wanted to meet me at Taco Bell for supper. He was to call me when he was about twenty minutes from Ruston. When he called he asked if we could go to Cane’s instead. [...]

An Exciting Day

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I am about ready to give up on myself. I cannot believe that I did not get one stitch sewn today. But at least I did two loads of laundry and actually folded or hung everything and put it where it belonged. Did the housecleaning too so guess it was not a wasted day. Oh [...]

Second Quilt Finished and Delivered

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Was lying in bed about ten this morning enjoying listening to the latest Diane Mott Davidson novel when the phone rang. It was Santa Jr., better known as Brian, asking if I could do him a favor. He wanted to know if I could drive to his house and get Christy and bring her to [...]

Another Quilt Almost Finished

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

I cannot believe that in one week from tonight, Christmas will be over for another year.  I have the kiddy quilt almost finished with only the stitching around the edge left to do tomorrow morning.  Then I will start on the other quilt that is a Christmas gift.  I think I am the queen of [...]

Linda’s Christmas Gifts

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Today I received the photos of the Christmas gifts that I made for Linda. The gifts were for last year and this year since last year I had a dislocated shoulder and was not up to sewing. Sad to say the shoulder still hurts but at least I can sew.
The table runner, green pillow shams, [...]

Going To Stop Making Plans

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I think the thing for me to do is to just stop making plans for it seems that I never seem to carry them out. Not a stitch of sewing done today. I did read a book though. Got up about one again today after going to bed at five in the [...]

More Natchitoches Christmas Lights

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The best laid plans…we all know how that goes. Had planned to spend the day sewing on a quilt for the grandson of another friend but did not sew one stitch today. I did get up at a reasonable hour, at least reasonable for me, and went to Curves for my workout. [...]

Christmas Lights in Natchitoches

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Went to bed this morning at five and then slept until one thirty. Had to be at church at four thirty for my Sunday school class trip to a restaurant near Natchitoches. After dinner we went on to Natchitoches to view the Christmas lights.
Before leaving for church I had to [...]

Quilt Delivered

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

After church tonight I stopped by Mignon’s to present the quilt to her grandson Bryce. He immediately started crawling under it and saying that he was hiding. It took his mom, grandma, and me to finally get a picture of him on the quilt. He was having a great time with the [...]

Quilt Finished

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

After Bible study this morning we all went to Coynell’s home for lunch. She had her home beautifully decorated and it inspired me to want to get home and get to decorating mine. So far I have not done any decorating but I did get the quilt finished. Have not given [...]
