Ouch... Where has the time gone?

So it has been almost 2 months since my last post and in that time we were told:
-The computer would be a good boat anchor, need to buy a new one. Recycled old PC and should get a Costco card for it.
-The car needs new brakes and still does. Merry Christmas to me?
-We won the dirtiest washer of the year, despite that I clean it weekly. It seems Calypso washers have issues, a class action lawsuit, and are no longer made. Aaaarrggghhh.
-The dishwasher stopped draining completely and the little $15 part that took 2 minutes for the repairman to install cost $200 in labor. Excuse me?
-Noticed I had a flat tire (in my new tires) while getting everyone in the car to take Lovey to school. Learned how to use the air compressor quickly to fill it to drive to school and then to Les Schwaab. ($15 well spent.)
-The kitchen sink leaked, was fixed and leaked again.
Most of these things happened in a 2 week period.

Now I'm back and I have been busy sewing and getting ready for Christmas.


This is a picture Lovey drew of himself. Here is the "dolly" I made for him based on his picture.


And a few things I have made for Christmas:

Christmas pillowcases for Littlebit and Lovey

Pajama pants for Lovey. I'm still working on Littlebit's nightgown.

A taggie blanket for my nephew due in March.

Fabric boxes

and beaded letter ornaments.
