Christmas Grinch

Crystal sent me this picture and said it reminded her of me! I laughed till I hurt!


Yes this has been me nearly everyday since Thankgiving!  I even have a dog that sits at my feet...and a little two year old blonde headed girl that is never far from the dog or grandma for that matter. 

The other day Payten was chasing the dog under the table and he got tangled in the cords to my serger. The serger went airborn...traveling up at an angle about three feet then landing about six feet out into the middle of the living room floor narrowly missing the dog. If that machine had hit anybody they would have been seriously injured. It took a couple of hours working on the machine, and a lot of prayers and LOTS of patience but it is running...barely...how ever it has a new noise that has me a little worried.

I think the only difference between me and the Grinch is that I'm sewing so I can give Christmas and the Grinch was sewing so he could steal it.
 
I have a quilt going on the frame in the morning and I will be DONE..with my sewing at least.

Since I have been sewing like the Grinch I haven't done much of this...



or this...


But if I keep on working and get very little sleep we will all have this...

A Very Merry Christmas!

I love this post! Will you show us pictures of your projects when you complete them, or perhaps after they have been opened on Christmas?

In a way I am a little jealous, but then I wouldn't have had the time with the kiddies. Now I am sick as a dog and all I can think of is getting some sleep.

Life's gift to me is . . . . one pound a week chasing kids and over three lbs. since getting sick. Still have little appetite . . . unusual for me. I do have to get a little done today no matter what. Good luck with all your projects, and do pls show pics after Christmas!

Hi Liz, Loved the cartoon pics! LOL Yes, I can see you sewing like a mad woman but like you said for the opposite reasons than that rotten Grinch! I don't know how you do it Liz! You have always been able to work circles around me, that's for sure! I have been reading your posts and my heart was aching when I read about you guys picking up Sage's things but I could feel the spirit so strong too! My prayers and thoughts are with each one of you this Christmas season. We love you all!
