Merry Christmas Cuties and Ms Veronica! I wanted to let you know I did get those other 3 beanie hats made, but they were wrapped, before I gave thought to a photo. However, I did take one of this ITH dog bone for Marley, my oldest daughters Snuazer. I also wanted to show you my tree she decorated for me, just days before her accident. It's not where I would like it placed but it's out of the way.
My husband must have realized how miserable I have been not able to do anything, so he rearranged the extra furniture, so I could get to my machines. I must say the first project wiped me out. I was so weak and tired! The next day I got the others done by taking breaks. Took me all day, but hey, I got them finished for cChristmas!!!I wish each of you a joyous Christmas Day and all the best for the New Year! Toogie

109780Merry Christmas Toogie! This is a cute gift for your furry family member. I'm glad to see you are able to stitch and finish the gifts that you had planned for your g-sons also.... I'm hoping that means that you are healing (or does the stitching simply help you to forget your pains for a bit). Love the tree that your daughter decorated. I showed your picture to my god-daughter who simply love the top hat on your tree as well. Take care, and Happy New Year! --Sharon

Merry Christmas! I wish you good health and happiness,in the new year. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to us, specially to me, your kind words and those of others more experienced than I, give me so much more confidence to try more.
I love how the Christmas tree is decorated. Hugs, Mary

I sent Marleys bone home, with my daughter & grandson, when they came earlier. My daughter text me and sent a photo. She said her son (13) wrapped Marleys bone for tomorrow.
I'm sure your tree is lovely. I don't like to decorate like I used to but everybody thinks I still need a big tree!
I too hope no more ' accidents', thank you!
Wishing you all the best !- Toogie

Thank you Lidia, how many of those beautiful doilies were given for Christmas? I'm sure they loved them as much as we all do! My beanies weren't pretty like those but I did feel like I needed to finish. Take care and may God bless and hold you dear this next new year-Toogie

Thank you Sonja. My daughters both decorate so well. This is not a talent I possess. I wish you peace, health, joy this season and new year-Toogie
66021A High Five to you for getting those beanies done in time. I'm glad your daughter was able to get the tree up for you. It's lovely. I hope she is doing better. Now take your time to enjoy your Christmas day. It is amazing how much you can do in 10 to 15 minute work times. I know this because I have been doing this for years when I am in pain.

Bless you, hate to hear of chronic pain. It can take the best out of you. Daughter is doing too much. She is getting use to her arm sling and air boot cast, so she's moving and doing. She's baking the ham tomorrow, and 2 sides. She has teenagers that can pick it up, in & out oven.
I just injected the turkey and my sons coming in the morning to help hubby with turkey and roast. My grandsons work gave him a stuffed/ seasoned roast, so they cooking that one. I usually season and stuff my own, so I hope it's good!
My husband and I managed together- lol- to make a little candy, a couple days ago. We have a blueberry cake someone brought us yesterday. I laughed and said if people keep bringing all these sweets I may need to rent a bigger chair next month! -lol-The insurance is renting it a month at a time for me.
Hope your season is bright!-T
169064Well done Toogie and your tree is beautiful. Love Marley's bone too. Take it easy - we need our bodies to heal. I hope you have a wonderful day filled with fun, family and lots and lots of love. God bless and thanks for being such a good friend. Love Chris

Ah friend, I know your Christmas is winding down and I hope it hasn't exhausted you. I hope your day was nice even though you didn't get to travel, to family, like usual.
im sure they all missed your presence , as well. It's Christmas Eve early evening and right now it's just hubby and me. Our grandson and wife ate lunch with us. My oldest daughter and her youngest son dropped in to pick up the ham for tomorrow and leave armload a of gifts. Not expecting anyone else so time for hub to relax a little.
I have to say, my accident has taken him away from the TV all the time, and he is really good as nursemaid.
Talk to you later and I appreciate your friendship, as well-T

Ah Kim, that's so sweet of you. Don't worry about me. Even though I'm not doing anything to harm myself, I didn't rest last night...well most nights. I just cannot get comfortable, even though I use pillow between legs when I turn over. Covers have to be readjusted etc and I'm tired by morning-
I don't plan to do anymore sewing for a while, but it's comforting to me to know if I want to go in there, I can since he rearranged (piled up-lol)
I value your friendship as well and wish the best for you and yours this most precious Christmas season.-Toogie

You are up early on your Christmas morn! It's just dark here on Christmas Eve, but we will be up early like you tomorrow, for our Christmas Day. It has just started to rain and the weather is 50% rain tomorrow. That means shut up all day with excited kids!- lol
I hope your Christmas was nice and I wish you everything good, for the new year.-Toogie
