END OF NOVEMBER

Can't believe this is the last day of November..how fast is Christmas coming ...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..... no done of course with gifts.... but one thing, I have been sewing .....lol....yeppers I worked on "Farmer's Wife Sampler", also a few gifts that I'll post later (shhh) and the guild tinner , also blocks for the "in club quilt"... that's where or whomever wants to have their name in a draw for a queen size quilt made by guild members who participated..so for every 1/2hour you worked (on block or ???) you put your name in the draw once... It will be a good one..... Also this is not normal but... we didn't get the white stuff yet...they have been calling for freezing rain, snow, and winds.. think there's a dome above us cause it's been south (about 1hour from here) , north (few hours from here) and east and western Canada... this bubble won't hold up for long .... anyhow I'll post later...posting just a few pics...Ciao, Adios, Salute, Nighty Nite , Bonsoir mes amis...

BIRTHDAY

Just a quick post....Friday night we had a Disco Zumba Party ...what a Groovy nite..there was over 100 zumba friends..some of us crazy ladies dressed up ..the picture on the stage was only the disco maniac costumes and some came a little later and we didn't get chance to gather them all in one pose..Anyways, I changed my mind on the jean thing and instead created a flare for our active pants so it would be easier to dance in.... (sister's and mine lol) also I have been sewing and can't post the pic of the Secret sister's gift yet.. but I also worked on other gifts which I will post after completed them..lolol...well I'll sign off for now and go sew some more ..

Busy

Wow..yes I am posting LOLOL...I've been keeping busy...On the 10th it would have been my dad's 75th birthday, missing him lots...On Monday at the guild, I received a couple of gifts from my secret sister..oh my, she is really keeping me in suspense now...see pics below....I also forgot to take pic of the last tinner I made, sewed that to be ahead til December one comes around LOL..also had to come up with an idea for our zumba class (costume) for Friday (me and sister's) they are having Disco Zumba LOL.. I got few things from the Halloween store before it was gone, glasses,earring's and other little things, I didn't want to cut up a pair of jeans to add a bright flare in it as I had did way back because it would be hard to do zumba in so... I came up with a kinda added flare with elastic so we can slip it on our workout pants without any damage LOL...I'll get pics for next weekend of our attire ..Daughter wants to learn how to sew, I told her she could use Ken for a bit but first have to show how to use it..hope she has fun, mom does..lol...anyhoot, Pics below and Ciao, Salute, Adios, Night nite, Bonsoir mes amis..
