And what do you think about facing the end of 2025? Has this year gone by fast? No? Just me?
Well, since my last post on November 21st, I had a birthday, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and got our Christmas tree. Hubby gave me a gift. He says it was for my birthday, but I'm also claiming it as a Christmas gift as well. He is just too sweet!
I've shared before that we get our Christmas tree from Boyd Moutain Tree Farm. This is our 4th tree since living in North Carolina. Our tradition is to get the real tree the day after Thanksgiving. This was also the tradition when we lived in Florida, although it was a tree "lot" and not a farm.
The grounds at Boyd Mountain do not change much. This year graced us with sunny skies and cool temps.
The tree is still drinking water but hasn't been fully "dressed" yet. I'll share all of my trees when they are fully decorated.
We took my main sewing machine to be serviced. Nothing wrong, thank goodness, but it needed a good cleaning and oiling. While there, hubby got me a new "embroidery only" machine. Now, I once had a sewing/embroidery combo machine. That machine must have been built on the Friday of a holiday weekend. I had so many issues with it, including replacing the mother board. My best friend bought the same machine, on the same day, from the same dealer. She hasn't had any issues with hers. For that, I am gratelful!
Anyway, I missed having an embroidery machine and my hubby suggested I try out a few while we were dropping off my sewing machine.
My first project testing the machine. Snowflakes.
In the hoop quilting. Really?
Oh boy!
Since the last couple of weeks have been so busy, I won't have a lot of stitching progress to show you on Friday. I will have November stitching stats and the GaRon Christmas box to share. Also, this weekend is the Jingle Ball hosted by Lindy Stitches. I've signed up for a couple of classes.
December.... and away we go!
See you soon,
