Sampler Club

 Sampler Club is officially back in full swing.  It was a great group even though I was sick as a dog.  Mom and I had a ball hosting.  Her pizza dip was a hit (similar to yours, Alecia, but not exact).  So was my king cake because it was the first king cake of the season for most people.  Mom and I started our 12 Years ( I mean days) of Christmas by Nora Corbett.  I got a little bit of stitching done even as sick as I was.

Taking Care of Mom

Mom got sick on the 15th.  Daddy had to take her to the emergency room on the 15th.  I took of Thursday and Friday to help take her to her physical therapy appointments.  I got a lot of stitching while waiting with mom at Dr's offices and sitting up with her at night.  I especially got a lot of work done on my Thanksgiving Fairy.  She's over halfway done!  I started my Christmas Fairy to break the monotony, but I didn't get much done because I was working so hard on Thanksgiving.  Mom wasn't idle either.  Even though she was in pain, she made yo-yo's out the wazoo.

Happy New Year!

It's a new year and there's plenty of new stitching to do!  Tonight at Tuesday Night Stitching, I kitted up Nora Corbett's "12 Days of Christmas" for myself and mom.  We plan on working on it during sampler club (which will be the 4th Thursday not the 3rd).  Mom wants to finish her "Dozen Buzzins" on Tuesday nights so I'll work with her on "12 Days" during sampler club. 

There's plenty of old stitching I need to finish, too.  I haven't put those projects aside either.  I'll work on those while mom's buzzin' it. 

I'm proud of Nikki.  She finally kitted up and started her birth announcement hang-up.  She's got 6 weeks until Makayla comes.  Maybe she'll get it done in time....for Makayla's high school graduation.  Ha ha.  Just teasing, Nikki.  I have faith in you. 

Let's get stitching...
