OK. We went to my in-laws' over the weekend to have a family dinner and
help them decorate their Christmas tree. My DMIL was some disappointed
because there was no angel for the tree. Well!! Since she's darn near
impossible to shop for any time of the year, I thought AH HA!!! Here's
what I did today:

I wrapped her and delivered her a little while ago. I told DMIL that she
got to open this one present early. So she's not only finished, and
delivered, she's on top of the tree.

For my next trick, I have 1 1/2 zip up fleece robes to finish. Some flannel
pajama pants to start and finish. And....I think I'm forgetting something.
My brain is already on Christmas vacation so who knows!!

Thank you very much. She really liked it. Did I tell y'all that while I
was frantically stitching away they were at Target buying an angel for the
tree??? LOL!!! They demoted that angel to nightlight (she holds "candles"
in each hand and her skirt lights up) in the guest bedroom. ;)

I remembered!! PJ pants for the boy.

Sewing-wise I'm down to one more zip up fleece robe (my mom) PJ pants for
our niece and for DS. Ought to be fine finishing those up over the next
couple days. <knock on wood>

That is fabulous! If you lived near here, I would have given you an
empty yarn cone to use. ;-)

Exquisite! But what are you doing with the chair from our bathroom???

We don't put up our tree until Christmas Eve and nor, normally, does the son
we've just visited for an early Christmas (he goes to the other side of the
world in a few days). When we arrived he was fuming and cursing because the
lights wouldn't work properly and he couldn't get the right replacement
bulbs. We said it didn't matter but we all ended up going to the local store
for a new set of lights. They were put on the tree and the daughters did the
rest of the decoration, it was beautiful.

But because of son's leaving his wife and daughters will be going to her
mother's in Scotland at the weekend and the tree will come down.

What a disrupted festival this is turning out to be :-)
