My official count of sewing is 566, and yep I quit. Called it enough for this year. If the others in this town can come up with 500 we will have over 1,000 to send to the troops. The official count is not yet recorded because I do not have them to count and put in the boxes ready to go. By next week I should be able to give a full Official count as to how many we were able to complete and take to Peoria.
Put my sewing machine up and swept the floor. Yes, Kim there was a floor under that mess. Set up my quilt frame ready to put a baby quilt in frame. Stacked the boxes in the corner by the closet and in the future will try and start cutting stockings for next Christmas, 2009.
Went to the church Trunk or Treat tonight, but oh was it ever so cold and very windy. Brought the geraniums into the house. They say it could freeze tonight and how I hate to see flowers die because the frost got them.
You might have noticed I changed my picture. That was taken at the office on Friday. I was holding 75 of my 566 stockings.
Julie wanted me to hold all of the ones I made, I reminded her that was impossible since they already packaged 94 stockings ready to go.
Took two filled boxes out to her house when we went to let Jake out. They went to Peoria to see her brother yet before he heads out on the 6th.
So, I must be getting old. It isn't even 9 p.m yet and I am totally exhausted.
Nite.

John wants me to tell you that you look very "soxy" in your picture! My weekend went too quickly, too, they always do! Great job on those socks. Have a good week.
I love the "Soxy" comment. I can just hear John Damman cracking that one out ;o) It is a wonderful thing you have helped with mom. I am sure it will brighten the faces and Christmas of many soldiers serving our country. It was nice to see you this weekend for lunch too! Sorry I spilled the soda, but the lemon ice cream sure was good.
that is so awesome Auntie!! i'm sure your kindness will brighten their day when they receive them!!! :)
