I am just finding this thread and it is Monday morning already. Yesterday I decided I didn't like the way my mug rug was going, so I started all over and did another one. I spent most of the day working on it while watching football. Now I have to bind it and send it one its way. I don't know why I do that to myself.

My list is so long it would take forever, but I am going to finish four rag quilts and pillowcases for the grandkids and two lap quilts for my DH and brother. Anything else that I finish by Christmas will be a bonus. I have seven baby/crib size quilts in various stages of completion, so they will be next on the list. The hand work gets attention in the evenings while I am watching tv and it always depends on my mood as to what gets done.

Right now I need to stop looking at things and start cleaning this house. My out- of -town kids are coming in tomorrow night, so better get with it. DH has two doctor appts. this week and a friend's DH passed away, so have to make time for all of those things as well. I'm just glad I am not hosting Thanksgiving this week; just have to make a dish or two.

Delores, it is so refreshing to see that thank you note; it seems to be a lost art these days. My DILs are both very good at having their kids send thank yous. It just seems like such a small thing, but really means alot, doesn't it? As for the MIL who didn't respond at all; I guess you just have to chaulk it up to it being HER problem and let it go. I certainly wouldn't bother to make her another thing: EVER.

Have a good day everyone; I HAVE to get off of this computer and start cleaning ot it will be Thursday and I'll still be sitting here.
