I have no idea why my body thought I should wake up at 6:30 this morning but that I did.  I soon realized I wouldn’t be going back to sleep so I bit the bullet and got up.  I worked on the homework for tomorrow’s Bible study last night until I couldn’t keep my peepers open.  
     Today has mostly been a finishing day.  It took awhile to get through the business of the day and when I got back to the factory I re-sewed a potholder onto a towel that wasn’t “perfect” enough to suit me.  It and a special type of kitchen rag will be my exchange gift for the luncheon on Friday if we don’t get snowed out.  Since I was set up for sewing I tackled the job of putting the missing Velcro pieces on the spa wrap.  I was whipping right along and then I realized that I put the first two pieces in the wrong place.  I took them off and got them properly placed.  Then it was time to finish up Deanna’s gift as seen here.

   

     I took a break from those things and stitched out a cute corner bookmark to stick in the envelope with Debi’s birthday card.  I also decided to give her the lace piano bookmark since she plays the piano at church.  The book mark represents her knitting side.

     I’m still cogitating on what font to do the name on the hand towel in my seashell set so I’ll show you what I have without the name.  These are from the Anita Goodesigns that came with my new machine.  They are really quite exquisite, don’t you think? 

     When Bill came home with the mail I had received box #2 from Linda.  However, boxes 1 and 3 didn’t arrive although they were mailed at the same time.  Box #1 has my new camera.  I sure hope that one doesn’t get lost even though it is insured.
Bill brought me a crab today and I had that for dinner tonight.  I haven’t had one in quite awhile so that was a real treat.  He went to the grocery store today and got a tray of deviled eggs for me to take to the Knit Guild Christmas potluck tomorrow night.  I was going to get a bowl of salad from Lisa’s deli but she wanted $25 and that was a tad more than I intended to spend on this outing.  
     Nancy wrote today to thank me for the angels.  She was writing notes to each of her siblings and said:  “I am trying to write each one a card today, and will send the angels with a special (personal) note as I am reminded of how each one has touched my life.”
     So now I’m off to see if I can finish knitting one more hat to turn in for the guild meeting.  I only have two so far.  I’d rather knit on the scarf but first things first.
