Congrats Carol I'm doing a happy dance for you. It's a great feeling isn't it.

Talk about weather. 12-15 inches of new snow with 40 mph winds. My neighbor plowed me out, so I decided to go to church. I made it, but it was tough going. With the economy, the city won't pay overtime for weekend plowing. Coming home, I buried my poor car up to the frame. Four sweet teenagers got me on the road again. I arrived home to no power, so I went outside and worked on the driveway and walked the dogs. I'd rather not stay in a cold house. The power came back on after 4 1/2 hours, so it could have been much worse.
Made me wish the 'new' machine I bought Friday had been a treadle. I did get an apron cut out while I had no power. Now to get it sewn - twelve yards of single fold bias tape go on one apron. Yikes!
Weight is holding - I ate screwy today with no stove, so we'll see.
Missy, the purse is cute. My preteen granddaughter would like it.
Anyone need some snow? We have plenty. 141 schools are closed tomorrow. I have a daughter stranded in Chicago coming in from the West. Call it an extra day of vacation.

My oldest DS is very upset about it. He seems to think the world evolves around him. You would think that after all the disappointments he would figure out that it doesn't. LOL!! I am ready to send him to school anyway.
Good night all. I am hoping to get up early and get my toppers and coasters sandwiched and finished.

That is the prize. You can not be the biggest loser 2 months in a row. This is for pounds lost not % lost.
There is always chit chat not pertaining to weight loss so if you will complain ( people have in the past ) PLEASE do not join as we do go off topic A LOT!!!!!!!!!!
Themed FQ..............Dec is the time for Santa, snow and parties. However Christmas is in Dec and the birth of Baby Jesus so this months theme is..............baby/children FQ.
As alway if you do not have the themed FQ and can not buy it PLEASE send what you do have. People in the past have not sent their FQ so do not join if you will not follow through and send the winner their much deserved FQ.
Now lets eat healthy, lose weight and have fun!!!!!!!
With Christmas this is going to be a hard month but we will get through it with the support from all who join.
Sign ups close Dec 2 8am EST.

Bonnie, your quilt is very beautiful!
One day I will have time to learn how to make quilts! I have some hexagons put together and I have fabric to make a practice D4P but I must get through my list of other projects that is a mile long! I even have lots of muslin for backing! So close! Yet so far....
