Yes, I noticed it's quiet. There usually is a quiet period at the end of December, but this is a bit early for it to start. Isn't it about NEC time in England? The past three weeks I've concentrated on Christmas lace. I'll finish this week, I think. It's been mainly small ornaments. I've been trying some new threads, and different patterns. Then I need to go back to various chores preparing for the PNW Lace Conference next June. When the conference projects are done, there's several UFO's waiting for me. Projects from the last three classes I took are still waiting to be finished. I could use those pillows for something else. Gee, I even had to cover a new pillow to do my ornaments on. Another chore is reviewing and revising the county fair exhibit catagories and classes for next year. I think I'll be Home Arts Superintendent again. I need to get that confirmed, also, and get a judge lined up. And on the home front, right now I need to review my Christmas plans/gifts/responsibilities. The stores are starting to put their items on sale, and I can save some money if I know what I need and watch for it on a sale. My church has requested that I get it another vacuum cleaner. I'll be watching for a good sale during the next week or so. (I'm one of their volunteer purchasing people.) This week the weather is chilly but sunny. It's supposed to last that way at least until next week, so the Santa parade on Friday should be dry. So, what is the rest of the world doing while the US people prepare for Thanksgiving Day on Thursday? (I'm taking the lazy way this year and buying our dinner items already cooked. I just have to warm it, and add a few trimmings. We'll get at least four meals out of it, and left over turkey in the freezer. It's less time in the kitchen and more time with DH or making lace.)
