Happy 12-13-12!

I'm at this moment plugging away at my blocks! Woot!

I'm WAY behind because I had a chance to make extra money to help with my heating bills & car repairs this winter (I'm down to one job right now), and that had to take precedence.

I have no more side jobs until after the new year, so, for the first time in months, I'm sitting down & working on my own stuff!


For the first time this season, I'm really feeling in the holiday spirit! Sitting here with my feet up, in my flannel jammies, with Ginger purring next to me, and stitching away! If I look to the left, I can see my very beautiful Tis The Season quilt taking pride of place.

Sigh. Life is grand.

Thank you for keeping me inspired - my heart was with you even if my hands weren't!

Elisa
