sakon76Christmas went well. I Skyped my parents, but my sister was working. The Squiddle made out like a bandit (the baby of the family always does), but I'm quite happy with the selection of mostly books I got. Including the book on free-motion quilting I wanted! Wonderful Husband didn't get much, but then his giftlist pretty much consisted of donations to the Ferguson legal defense fund, and donations to Heifer International, which I'll give him money for once we're home. My inlaws also seemed to like their gifts.
My big thing this year was doing the Sparkle quilt sew-along as a gift for Wonderful Husband's parents. It was two weeks of very late nights, and my sewing machine has been promised a spa day once I get back, but I finished the quilt the day before we left. And MAN do I want that gently used Babylock Tiara the sewing machine shop down the street had. But even if it's still there when we get back, the price would be at least $4K and Wonderful Husband says I'd have to make room for it. Which means getting rid of at least a third, possibly more, of my fabric/craft storage area. And doing that, if I can manage it, will take time. And regrettably I'm at the wrong end of the year to just simply, say, donate all the supplies to the Costume College Bargain Bazaar.... :/
