Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

[Rita C.]

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We are getting together with the family members who could come on Saturday. I still have lots to do. I did threaten to run away today, but can't do that. I think a cruise is in order for next year, or a trip to anywhere else. Too much commotion. And I am ready for some peace on Earth. Does anyone else have family members who squabble? Sorry, but I needed to vent. I will be good and go wrap more presents now. Love to you all.

Why don't you 'cruise' on over to Scotland in May? you could join us CWer's at the Loch Lomond Quilt Show then and really let your hair down 8)

Oh man, I missed a couple of days and had pages to caught up on. I know I am not going to remember everything I wanted to comment on but I will say--we had squabblers(again two youngest--over where they were going to sit), I told them they were going to sit in the living room by themselves if they didn't stop--they stopped. I will be having most of the family on Saturday--I have had a fullllllllllll week!

This one will make you smile. DD#1 has two more mug rugs she wants to finish before she gives any to her co-workers(yes, she always underestimates the time it will take to be creative) so she came over Thursday evening with her two daughters. Her daughter #2 is the one who did the quilt pillow for 4-H and won the ribbons. So, said daughter is watching her mom do a satin stitch and she says--you did it wrong mom, grandma's going to make you do it over. Needless to say, I thought it was funny--her mom--not so much. Then the grand tried to tell her mom how to correctly thread the machine. Quite comical.

Ritzy, It looks like you are a very good teacher. Way to go. You got them both sewing.

Hello Lotti how are the feet? :shock: :shock: :shock:

[wendy w.]

Hello everyone, Hope everyone's Christmas was peaceful and wonderful. I have missed a few weeks and boy there were so many pages to catch up on. All the mug rugs are beautiful. I hope to stay more up to date from now on. Hope everyone has a Happy New Years and a wonderful year to follow!

[Lotti D.]

hello wendy,
feet are perfectly fine (only two tiny blisters that i never really felt - though i did feel the feet 'burning' a while after - not from the heat, but from walking and standing around on the frozen ground before going back to find my shoes)
and i'm still smiling - such a rush
gave me lots of positive energy and a feeling of "i can do anything i set my mind to"
i'm definitely going back and doing it again!
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :P :P :P

Okay Lotti, Wendy, What's up with Lotti's feet. I reread all of Dec and I am still out of the loop! Curiousity killed the cat! Please come to my rescue.

[wendy w.]

Lotti will tell you when she comes down from her high :lol:

You are so cool Lotti !

[Lotti D.]

me, 21st December 2013
Yes I'm screaming, screaming from pure JOY!
"FREE" free to be me!
Soooooooo great! I AM a fire walker!

Wendy, I doubt that I'll be coming down from this high for a while yet

[Catherine S.]

WOW Lotti!!! You are amazing!!! I might run out to the shed barefooted in the snow, but I don't think I could do a fire walk. I would be tempted to try though. Especially if one of my kids said I couldn't! I am getting more like a teenager in that respect. Don't tell me I can not do something! :lol: :lol:

[Susan B.]

Lotti, how in the world do you DO that?

[Lorna B.]

Lotti,

Congrats! Wow, now that is a unique "How I spent my Christmas Vacation" story. Do tell more!

[Norma H.]

Lotti, you look great. Congratulations on doing this
