Why I am bored!!!

Today I hit the Wall!!!

I had NO IDEA what to do with myself!

(which means i should have been playing with my kiddo's
but for some reason today that wasn't enough!!)

Here's why

CHRISTMAS

As explained in my last post I have had a lot of projects on my plate this Christmas
and some of them are more time consuming than others!!
(Don't Worry there are plenty of pictures)

Here's the point!!
Its all over and now I have no pressure
(disregarding ms a's birthday which is soon approaching!)

Now let the photos roll and you might understand!!

Starting with Ms E proof Ornaments
(small fabric squares on the bottom 1/3 of the tree)
Next was the Incredible amount of sanding, painting and
hammering required for my mom's quilt rack!!
Ms A is such a good helper!!


Next was the Quilted Table Runner for my Mother in law
(My first attempt at quilting on my fabulous sewing machine!)


Then there was the Enormous quilt for my Brother and Sister in law!!


This huge thing was just over 9 feet square!! It took over my house!!
Also in the mix was Ms A's Felt food
After all that there were several Items that were not caught in pictures!!

Puppets for ms E and cousin Zac, 12 preplanned date nights for Shane,
a book of quilts for my sister, date blocks for my brother and sister in law,
and a pile of kits for parties that got sent out east
to wonderful neice and nephew there and one science kit for Levi.

Oh and did I mention Two separate baking days!!
So needless to say I was ridiculously preoccupied
during December and now its WHAT TO DO??

Good thing my mother in law is whisking me away
to Calgary tomorrow without the kiddo's to see
Beauty and the Beast!!
I won't have to think about it till the first now!

I get to have a nice relaxing new years!!
With a bottle of fake bubbly and cream cheese and crackers
under a blanket reading good books and watching
Shane play the play station
(ok so I'll probably play too!!)

See you in the new year!!!!
