I can't believe it's almost Christmas. Is anyone else in this boat with me? I haven't even done any baking or candy making (although that doesn't stop me from eating it). When friends come over with their treats, I give them a manicure instead of a reciprical treat. They seem delighted. Mostly, it's because I don't have anything to give them. Maybe my homemade treat days are gone. That's okay. I don't have anywhere left to wear them.
My sister-in-law, Valory, has a blog now on thequiltingschool.com. She will be talking about a lot of quilting and embroidery issues so be sure to check it out.
I'm filming on a SunBonnet Sue tomorrow. It is awesome. I have done some quilting on it that has made it very unique. It will be taped in two episodes because I have so many techniques to show you. It will first be shown on the new episode with Gina Perkes.
The opthalmologist called from Salt Lake City. He is worried that Wendy's eye lens may continue to slip. We have an appointment to see him in January unless we notice her eyesight getting much worse. He said if we have to have surgery to recover the lens and put it back in place, it will require two surgeons. For now, he just wants to watch it and see what happens. Wendy is getting along okay, although her level of frustration seems a little higher. Actually, come to think of it, my level of frustration is a little higher at this time of the year too.
I have decided that Christmas will come and go whether or not I'm "ready." I think I will really try to focus on making sure Christ is in my Christmas. I am so blessed and grateful for the knowledge and talents I have been given, and for all my family and friends.
