More To Do

I hope everyone is ready for Christmas. Or maybe ready to get it over with, depending how you feel about holidays. I do enjoy Christmas, although I think there is a lot of pressure, particularly on women, to get all the preparations done. All the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and if you are crafty, the gift making. 

I have the desire to make handmade cards and ornaments, but I don’t have the time, and increasingly, I don’t have the energy. I saw some super cute cards on a Facebook post. They were simple ornament shapes or tree shapes cut from Christmas fabric and sewn (or maybe glued or decoupaged) to card stock. I was planning to make some, but I ran out of time. ⌛️ 

I have decided on my next quilt. I maybe should say my next planned quilt—I am always busy sewing scraps together that eventually turn into quilt tops. Here it is:

It took me about four days to get it all cut out. Seriously. My right hand is still giving me problems, so I can’t do long cutting sessions. I try to limit it to no more than an hour or two. I started on the sewing this weekend and got a lot of hst’s made. 

I would get more done if I stayed off the iPad. I have been playing with AI, and amused myself one evening by turning Reba into a stuffed animal.

That might be the solution to a lot of problems. 

I keep thinking I have all my shopping done, and then I think of someone else I need to get a gift for. I usually get my pastor a gift card to Aldi, and I just remembered yesterday when I saw her at church. I will run by there today and get one.
