Earlier this week after my flute lesson in Norton, I decided to head to The Quilted Crow quilt store in Bolton as I had a ten dollar coupon to use before it would run out on Jan. 2. It's a lovely shop with a lovely selection of wool for wool stitchery. :-) It's easy to pass by a pattern on a rack, but this shop has lots and lots and lots of samples hanging up, and they are irresistible. I came home with three new patterns and a few more things!!!
Now, if you observed that I perhaps spent a tad more than my $10:00 coupon, you would be correct. Merry Christmas to me . . .
When I got home, I noticed my current car mileage 12222.2 miles. How cool is that!
On Wednesday, I went to the Christmas Show at St. Jude's Elementary School in Waltham. Two of my young cousins go there as did their mom and aunt and uncle. As always, it was a delight! I even won a raffle for a beautifully decorated wreath.
Speaking of being lucky, I left a comment on Lisa Chin's blog, Something About Nothing, last week and won a quilt book by Jenny K. Lyon. It arrived in today's mail. The title is "free motion Quilting from Ordinary to Extraordinary - 3 Steps to Joyful Machine Stitching in 21 Days." I guess I know what I will be attempting to learn after the holidays. :-)
Last night, I went out to dinner with friends for our annual holiday dinner. Today on this rainy, windy day, I did nothing!!! I snuggled under my new quilt and took a nap!
Two last photos . . . while shopping the other day this little dog caught my eye. The small one on the left spins around excitedly and plays three Christmas songs when you press its paw. The one on the right spins around equally excited when friends come to visit but doesn't play music.
Here is Emma this morning sitting on my lap and keeping a sharp eye out for those pesky squirrel outside our window.
Four more days until Christmas . . . relax . . . take a deep breath . . . and enjoy the magic of this time of year.
