getting more Christmas presents done

It is February and I am done with Christmas presents except for the boyos.  They do not seem to mind at all.  I finished the last pinnie today.  I had two requested.  I made both out of black linen because the comment was made by both parties that white just gets dirty too fast!  I do so agree.  My white aprons are very stained even with the liberal application of bleach.  But then I have also stained dresses through aprons which tells you that I am extremely talented when it comes to getting dirty.

I did not get a good picture of the pinnies before I sent them off.  What I thought looked good really did not.  But I did spend a lot of time with this view. 

I have another pinnie to make for a house warming gift.  There is another request for a silk pillowcase.  And then there are pajama pants for the boyos.  Especially since Koda bear seeems to be growing!  This next three weeks my sewing machine is in the "guest" room.  It is where the spare bed is.  So there may be more spinning and crocheting going on.  A different type of sanity.

I have been researching round trip airline tickets for my best friend.  Last week she thought she might have to go to Istanbul because her Grandmother was very ill.  Grandmother got better and started proposing she needed to rent out her apartment and move into the hospital because it was so nice.  This week, my best friend found out her Father has a brian tumor.  It is all she knows right now and will find out more this week after more testing.  She may be flying to Florida to be with her Father and I am making sure she gets there.  Prayers for her Father would be lovely.
