Good morning, ladies! Sun is shining and we are to have a high of 55 today.
Bella had a really good sale for customer appreciation day and I received a call late Saturday afternoon that I had won a door prize (I have to go get it to find out what) so I am happy. I sewed most of yesterday making a tote for my yoga mat. I have borders to put on a quilt top today. I hope I get my Viking back soon for I need the fancy stitches. My Featherweight is a work horse - 62 years old) but it's only straight stitch.
Faye, I'll send the books UPS ground and then you can track when they might be delivered. I'll send the tracking number. We used to get our mail in the morning and now it might be 5 pm before it comes. We had one carrier who didn't speak English and I don't think he could read either for he just put handsful of mail in each box and then we had to run about the neighborhood delivering to the right house. Your mittens are beautiful.
Jean, it would have been pretty hard for them to say the heater wasn't theirs with the Only at T on the box. I find it pretty easy to take things back to Target, Walmart, Kmart.
Maggie, I got a call from WW yesterday asking me if I'd like to work January and February for the rush. So I'll be doing that. We had a friend who always gave us See's candy for Christmas. She's passed away now. They put a cosack in the mall here and sell it during the Christmas season.
It's time for me to head out to the Y so you all have a great day!

Good morning to all. It is going to be nice and warm today and tomorrow then we are going to be in real trouble from Thursday night through the whole weekend. It is going to start raining, but that Alberta clipper is going to plow into us by Friday and we are going to have ice. I worry about the race on Saturday because if it is really icy, I am not sure I can go. I am not steady on my feet. I don't want to miss it, but I am not going to fall either. I can only hope at this point I guess.
I finished the mittens and am almost done with the scarf for my niece so I can then go back to working on my sweater. I have to wash and block everything though. I hope to get that done tomorrow so I can get the mittens dry.
Today I have a lot of cleaning I want to get done since I didn't get anything done yesterday. I have already gotten the kitchen done except for mopping and stuck a pot roast, potatoes and carrots in the crockpot. I stuck it on high since the roast was still partially frozen. I took it out of the freezer last night and stuck it in the fridge, but it was still kind of hard by early this morning.
Maggie: Sounds like you are getting all prepared to bow hunt or shoot. Keep an eye out because I imagine you are going to get some pretty bad weather too. It is going to cover most of the country I guess.
You all have a good day today. I have to clean up breakfast dishes and get things going. Faye

Good morning all. It is going to be very warm today then wham on Friday freezing temps and ice. UGH, dreading that for sure.
The kids will be here this afternoon and am excited to see them. Haven't seen them since Jackson's bday in June. He is growing so fast and getting so darn tall so I guess he will be his dad all over.
I got the dreaded Christmas presents wrapped last night, at least Jackson's. I still have Tom's parents to do at the last minute because it is refridgerator stuff and all of Thomas's, but since his stuff was much more expensive, there are only a few gifts.
I am going to finish the downstairs cleaning by dusting today and finish the hat I tore out and am redoing. My niece has a lot of hair and I was concerned it would be too tight so I ripped it all out and started over with a new pattern that has more stretch to it for her. I will try and get the stuff mailed next week after the bad weather goes away. It is supposed to last all weekend so that means going to the commissary in bad weather. I live in the south not to have to deal with this, but seems every year we have at least one bad event.
Jean: How is your weather? Sounds like the people in the north are getting snow and cold, cold weather and we are getting freezing rain turning it all to ice. I sure hope we don't lose power.
Another week almost gone. Have a great day today. Faye
