almost forgot

I almost forgot to post something today....after blogging everyday as part of the NBPM challenge!!. No sewing went on today ,except for some hand embroidery on my Stitching For Christmas block. I did shell out pecans part of the day...hopefully I can make some candy soon as if I need candy!!!

First Camillas

My first Camellias of the year. If you are where they do not grow, Camellias start blooming at this time of the year. It may get very cold and kill the opened blooms, but as soon as it gets in the mid 40's again, more open. They bloom through February-mid March.  They belong to the same family as sasanquas, which started blooming  early October. I'm working on my new project as well as an older one...I should have  finished the older one first.

Retreat

Yesterday, we arrived in Raleigh for our annual guild retreat. There are 20 of us...so you kknow we are havibg a great time!!! Good food, fellowship & shopping , as well as sewing!!! We have a wonderful instructor, Karen Siervert. Our projects are looking good...will post pics tomorrow.  More about the retreat laterMy husband got the range correct setup.... the cord was too long to let the range slide all the way into its place.....now it's set to go!!!

work continues on Secret Santa Swap item

Block 3

Another block completed... I also have to get going on this week's Stitching For Christmas!!! I'm getting behinder !!  LOL!!

STILL WAITING....

No call from Lowe's today...so still rangeless.  Is that a word???   I could get use to this....But my husband is about fed up!!!   Going out to eat....AGAIN!!!

Waiting...

My new flat top range is SUPPOSED to be delivered today. Of course, we thought that last Thursday! So I have suffered  8 days without a range (no cooking) !!!LOL!!! We took out the old one last Wednesday morning so we could get all the dust etc. from under it cleaned up. I suggested to my husband that we could put a piece of plywood across the space and do without a range. He didn't go along with that. So here I am, awaiting the call!!

Nail Day (girlie time!!)

Hurray!!! It's Wednesday....my nails have looked awful for a week...today I have an appt. to get them redone. One broke, so it is shorter than the rest. I'll be glad for them to look good again. I thought about getting my toes done, BUT  my toes are a laugh. They are funny looking, the second & third ones are longer than my big toe!!! I guess that really makes me the boss in my family!!!
