My mom & sister made it to my house last Friday night and stayed until Tuesday.  We had so much fun while they were here, I definitely didn’t want them to leave.  We made a trip to a local quilt shop and we all bought fabrics, patterns and kits of all kinds.  Having them here got me motivated to sew again and you can see some of what I accomplished this week at Sewingmom.com my other site.

After they left I found myself trying to finish up the holiday shopping. I did quite a bit of it online, but I also had to go out to the stores. One night I took my daughter with me to buy the gifts for my husband That was a lot of fun because it’s really the first year that she’s been interested and given me her input on what to buy. Today she’s even going to wrap all the gifts that we bought him.

Yesterday I found myself drawn back to the quilt store we had visited earlier in the week. They were having their annual year-end sale and I just couldn’t resist. I bought so much fabric and fat quarters, mainly to make gifts, so I better get busy! I have to make a trip to another fabric store this afternoon to buy threads and zippers and I hope to spend the next few days sewing. I’m going to attempt to make a cute little over the shoulder bag for each of the 6 girls on my Destination Imagination team. Our last meeting before the holidays is this Thursday though, so I have to get busy if I’m going to get them all done.

Today I’m cleaning house and getting organized for what promises to be another busy week. My husband is returning tonight from his trip to Europe and I’m sure we’ll be staying home tomorrow which will give me a chance to sew. I’m actually looking forward to it!

My mother-in-law flies in next Saturday to spend the holidays with us, so I have to make sure I get all her gifts wrapped before she arrives.  I just finished putting the guest room back together, so that’s ready for her.  I have a feeling the next couple of weeks are going to fly by just as quickly as this last one did.

I’ll keep you posted on my sewing progress!
