Way Behind!

Wow, am I behind on blogging!  Well, it's been a busy few weeks. I had the embroidery machine, the sewing machine, and the Cameo humming!  I made cute little boxes for the girls at dialysis, and filled them with candy, I made Christmas cards and Christmas tags, all with the Cameo.  I made angel gift boxes with the embroidery machine, and put them together with the sewing machine.

Christmas was wonderful at our house. We had our usual grazing table for Christmas Eve - hot dips, cold dips, sausage balls, pigs in a blanket, cheese, cheese balls, crackers and chips. Then for Christmas dinner, we had cornish hens, dressing, corn pudding, copper pennies and yeast rolls.  Santa was also very good to all of us.  It was a wonderful time!

The only blemish on the holiday was that I had on way too much fluid when I went back to dialysis after not going for 3 days.  Bad me, I will never do that again.  I was short of breath and had 'jelly legs', so called because your legs feel like just that - jelly - and feel like they are going to buckle at any second.  But thanks to the good ladies at dialysis, they got the fluid off and I felt a WHOLE lot better leaving dialysis than I did arriving!

My niece and her little boy were able to come on Thursday after Christmas. My niece is a nurse and usually has to work the holidays, so we usually don't get to see them til late January or early February, so it was a special treat to have them with us at Christmas.  The litte Buckeroo is really growing.  Gosh, he's almost 8!  But he'll always be my little Buckeroo :)  He got an XBox for Christmas, which his mother and I promptly took over to play WWE! It was a blast.  Hmmmmmmmm.....I may need to see about getting one.

New Year's was quite.  Not really a lot to do in a town of 1,000 people.  Not like when I lived in Atlanta.  Or Detroit.  Or Philadelphia. :D  But honestly I enjoyed the quiet.  I needed time to rest and recharge after the whirlwind of the holidays.

I'll post some pictures of my craft projects in a few days, once I get them off the camera and resized.

Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful Christmas season, and that you have a wonderful, happy 2013 :)

I haven't beeen checking on the orcs and trolls.  Lord only knows what kind of havoc they have wreaked.  However, I can't bother with them tonight, as a Steven Seagal movie is on, and watching Steven Seagal kick ass is a most fun thing!

Til later,
Morado
