Thanksgiving was so late this year and my husband wanted to wait to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving (won't do that again). I hardly put out any of my Christmas decorations. It just went so fast, almost like it never happened. then family members have been sick, that doesn't help. Let's make next Christmas better!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569821526457219201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-45710670103898695172014-01-17T20:31:08.737-06:002014-01-17T20:31:08.737-06:00Hi Karen...I've been gone too long.

Love the new fabric for the sofa..I'm torn between new furniture or getting mine recovered...it has really never been used, but I'm sooo tired of the fabric. I know how you were feeling...sometimes nothing to say, but other times lots to say but no time. Sigh...

I am still not back 100% from the Aug. leg surgery. The muscles are still trying to connect and they get painful at times.<br /><br />Oh I know what you are saying about decorating as that was my initial post thoughts - today I'm kind of thinking about doing something and stop dragging my feet....it's early we'll see! LOL<br />Oh...I'm using the settle since we moved it over to the opposite wall it was on - I love sitting on it, so comfortable.

It's not a thin crust and it's not an overly thick one either. Note: lately when I make them I spread a little bit of Olive Oil over the crust, then pre-bake it for about 7 minutes. It turns out fantastic. Oh and grease your pan really, really good. When I do these steps my pizza will slide out of the pan and onto my wood cutting board and then it cuts fantastic with a large knife.<br />Hope I didn't put too much information here...lol<br />KarenMy Colonial Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066446310464424766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6664312103727243394.post-92111558355261688612014-01-13T08:30:05.214-06:002014-01-13T08:30:05.214-06:00Hi Danice,

In your second photo, I assume that is Miranda's mother in the chair...your daughter? She looks just like you. <br /><br />I love the new fabric you have picked out, but, then, I love your old fabric too! I always wanted that 1801 fabric. I have some JB fabric on my sofa and a chair, and the cats ruin everything.... They love that nubby fabric!<br /><br />Your pizza looks yummy, but the crab legs...ugh!

I know the cold Winter weather has had alot to do with it. Hang in there, it will get better. Your grandchildren are adorable, love the new sofa.

I always have a little let down feeling. It helps to have the little kids though, love their excitement. I starting getting back to cross stitching and have enjoyed it. Some great prim patterns around. And you know my dilemma about losing my rug hook! Tore my whole sewing room apart and still can't find it today. There are no rug hooking place near me but I know where one is in Canal Winchester, I hope they are open tomorrow. I bought Cathy's new pattern Home Sweet Home and want to do it. Take care and talk to you soon.
