Bummin...
My mom called this afternoon after work to tell me that my Granny's in the hospital, and isn't going to be feeling up to having the fam up for Thanksgiving. Both sides of the situation are disappointing: having her be in the hospital, and not being able to give her the quilt. Hopefully she'll be feeling up to having company again in the near future, and I'll be able to deliver the quilt then. Bummer.
But let's not be sad, people! I've got more project news to report!
I'm halfway done with a Christmas gift that I'm making for the teacher that I work with. I had all the kids in the class sign a canvas bag (one was sick, and I still have to have her sign it, but she's a bit of a loudmouth tattle-tale, and I'm waiting until the last possible moment for her to sign it so that she doesn't give the surprise away) and I'm embroidering over their signatures. (There's nothing cuter than a bunch of first-grade signatures written in bright colored floss.) The first side is finished, and I hope the backside goes as fast as the front did.
