What’s on your Christmas List?

I told DH that I would love if he arranged (and paid for, of course) a service on my treadmill. I use it at least 5 days a week and it has become increasingly noisy over the last year. He was thrilled that a: he didn't have to think of something on his own, and b: he didn't have to go shopping.
Quilty-ish: I dropped my bobbin storage case once too often so put that (well, actually 3 so that each machine can have its own) on the family list. If a GC happens to appear, that would be nice.

Uninterrupted time by myself in my quilting room.
My youngest moved out a week before Thanksgiving, 2 weeks before his birthday, 5 weeks before Christmas. I was not prepared AT ALL to consider the holidays without him at home, and the ferocity of my sadness has knocked me completely sideways. I just want to be by myself to cry and process.

I just changed my rotary cutter blade for the first time in ages (they were hard to come by during the early months of the pandemic and then I just forgot). I forgot how easy cutting could be! I have now added spare blades to my Christmas wish list. :-) My needs and wants are few - along with the blades, you can find chocolate, coffee, and a couple of books on there.

The best rotating mat and I have used every brand there is out there, is the Roundabout from Martelli. I took mine to a retreat and left it on the cutting table for everyone to use. All raved about it and many ordered it using their phones on the spot.

As for Christmas gifts, there isn't anything I really want. I bought a couple of things for myself on Black Friday and Cyber Monday... some Bombas socks and some Accuquilt dies. That's my Christmas!
What I really would like for Christmas would be for my daughter and SIL to get over being mad at me and let me see and spend time with my granddaughter. She's been weaponized, unfortunately. Makes me sad as I can be.
