for 2020--
What are you doing today???
You know what I was doing this morning--that darn laundry!!!
And I had taken my red baby sweater down to the lobby to knit on while waiting for the dryer--
and discovered a 'boo-boo' about 10 rows back--so I went 'backwards' in the knitting--instead of forwards!!! But hopefully --I am ready to start to knit forward on it again!!
And --yesterday--afternoon-- I was a good girl and got out the gingerbread dough-and made cut out cookies--I only used the gingerbread boy cutter, a star and a bell--
from my daughter --
For Christmas I got some lovely things--fabric, quilt magazines, cross stitch kit of a light house and beach scene-a book to read, puzzle, small crock pot, cordless iron, string of 66ft fairy lights, and gift cards and lots of chocolate!!!
Remember -last year here at this Senior complex--we had 2 big gift aways and a big Christmas dinner-this year with all that's happened --the 2 agencies that did last year's gifts decided they needed to move on to other senior places--we weren't sure that we would get anything--but the American Legion over on the beach came though and we all got $30 gift cards that are good anywhere--I like that better than a gift bag--so I am a happy camper--(now I wonder which fabric company will get my $30.00?????)
Talking about spending--I got today's special at Missouri quilts--a layer cake of some really bright busy fabric with a plan in mind--for more Sisters blocks for next year!!!--and I was good, only, a couple other fabrics did jump in the cart but they are putting some blocks together that I already have done--!!!!
Well--time to get on with my job for this afternoon--though I can't decide whether it will be sorting quilt patterns, or doing some work here on the computer--hummm??????
WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE THIS YEAR?????
LUV, DI

MMM, I thought I smelled cookies baking! Now I know why! lol Enjoy them. I like your idea of freezing them and only taking out a couple at a time. Makes them last longer!
Nice gifts from your kids! Enjoy making decisions what to do next!
I never did make gingerbread like I was thinking but I have been eating bits of the train kit I purchased. I'm keeping my recliner warm again today - day 3 of being a bump on a log. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow so I can wander into my office to work. I did finish my OMG.... and started block 20 of Endless Diamond. I'll be in bed sleeping before midnight on the 31.... although maybe I need to stay up and make sure the year does end?
Happy stitching ... and eating.
Catching up on a pile of your posts.... Thankgoodness you finally cooked the cookies.....your deviations are lovely..... Glad the blood pressure is improving..... Maybe you could join me on zoom sewing on new years eve..... (new years day my time) they'll be a few of us on line.....
You sure have been busy..
those gingerbread men look great and I’d also prefer them naked.... 🤣🤣🤣
Lots of great gifts and a gift card is perfect....
Oh that would be wonderful to join in for Chookys zoom party 🎉
You must have been a very good girl this year! I may have done a little online shopping myself yesterday. Of course with the mail situation right now, the stuff probably won't arrive until after the online sew-alongs!!!! But I will stay busy with the hundred other projects that I have. LOL!
The cookies look good! We've just about finished off all the Christmas cookies we baked. Which is really good, I need to get serious about my eating habits again. Looks like your family knows you really well. Have fun deciding where to spend your gift.
