I can use a do over day, another Wednesday, or any day this time of year. This Santa needs all the extra time she can get!
I did get my packages dropped off, finished more doll clothes, helped Ethan with school, and played elf for Gracie and Lila to mail their letters to Santa. Which reminds me, I need to take them out of my Santa mailbox and add them to the hidden stash of letters. Ethan helped me hide a present for Michael. He was thrilled to help hide something. On Christmas Eve, we have a tradition of reading the story of the birth of Christ from the scriptures and then we have Christmas Pie. This is not a food, but a small gift, taken from a bushel basket that looks like a pie crust on the top. So what Ethan hid was Michael's Christmas Pie gift. A ornament that looks like a orange traffic cone. Michael uses orange cones when he digs holes or something that could hurt someone. The kids would bring the "abandoned " cones home when they found one, so Michael has quite a collection! Aaron especially has the collection - he has to use them in his job every day! We have many silly moments in this house! The kids tease, that when we hold Michael's funeral, instead of flowers on the casket, there will be a orange cone! Oh the kids tease their Dad over orange cones!
So more sewing. I need to get Emma's dress made. It is being made from a piece of real silk fabric, I bought to sew a mother of the bride's dress , 24 years ago. I was chicken to cut into then and still chicken now! But I will finally do it! The silk wasn't expensive, I bought it at the Gunnesax outlet in San Francisco , five dollars a yard. I have 5 yards. I'm chicken because it is silk! Loved the Gunnesax outlet, Sarah had many many dresses from there, cheap! I just had to watch for the flaw, which I could easy fix.
So need to get me going, lots to do.
Stay Safe!
Hugs,
Jana
