Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Did you put your shoes out last night?  Sometimes St. Nick leaves a little gift in them!  At least that is one of the traditions we love in our home. 
Things are okay.  Hand is healing nicely:
Husband is coming home tonight! Dogs are good although mother wants Greta to go back to living with her.  Not sure my dogs will handle that well (or Greta) more on that later.
Some good things on the web these days!  First of all check out Sarah's free embroidery pattern for Christmas, I can't wait to be able to sew so I can do one of these!  I love that the little girl is holding a Christmas ball!  Also Allie has a list of free tutorials on her blog!  Kelly has a neat idea on her blog; she is doing a block each week for a year (can't wait to see these!).  I'd love to participate but it will be a while until I am up to that and I already have two projects going here (then again, what is one more?).  I might jump in just to make sure I get a block done every week which would be STUPENDOUS!

Hope you are all doing well and will be catching up as I can.  Take care and keep well!

Poor Mickie -- I hope your hand is feeling better very soon and that you will be able to get back to your projects. I am pleased to hear your recovery is going well -- I may be having this same surgery at some point.

Your tree is gorgeous!!

I'm so glad your hand is recovering well. Take good care of it. We did St. Nick's Day at our house as well. Gold coins and clementines appeared in the girl's shoes. :-)

You take it easy until you're healed, missy!!! I'm glad Brad will be home tonight so he can take care of you - hopefully he'll be around through Christmas? Tree looks lovely!!

Your tree looks beautiful!!! We may put ours up over the weekend, we'll see. I'm praying you're healing well and will be back to stitching in no time, hon! And I hope things work out for the best with Greta...
