Hello everyone. I haven't been here much lately. My hubby-to-be has a daughter and her 6 yr old son move in with us and it is a difficult life changer--at least for me. She's a good Mom and helps out in many ways but lately it seems like everything I say or do upsets her. Hubby-to-be wasn't there when she grew up- not full time anyway and he is bending over backwards now to make up for it. At 62 I thought we had a good life just the two of us but I've noticed he's grumpier than ever before and we don't talk like we used to. I miss him. Right now I'm sewing like a mad woman trying to get caught up on Christmas gifts for my own two grandsons My daughter-in-law asked me to make a memory quilt for my 11 yr old grandson from all the sport shirts and favorite shirts he has had through elementary school. I've been working on it for months and both the top and back are from his clothing plus fabric from things I've made for him since he was born. This is the first two sided quilt I've ever done and it's more difficult to quilt on my little sewing machine. I have arthritis tendonitis and carpal tunnel in both wrists and now it is winter and cold and both hand swell up to twice their normal size every morning when I wake up so it takes awhile for them to move every day.It is so nice to come back here and see so many familiar names and read all the posts again. I guess they say everyone goes home for Christmas and I feel like this is my home too and has been for many years. I doubt there will ever be a designs by cuties again but I'm very glad to see some of the fellow cuties that have stuck it out for so long. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas as many of you say. May God be with all of you as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
