The office had its Christmas Party at the Chateau Laurier. Yes, there are a few castles in Canada too. It was such a magical venue. Wow.
The woman dressed in black in the mirror is me. I could have go on and on as it was fabulous everywhere, but it wasn't a tour, it was a party. I will visit it one day and bring my good camera. All these were taken with my cell.
Rascal decided to move "in". He was here almost all week. Early in the morning and at 6PM, we would let him in for some food, some love and to warm up too.
I called different places like C.A.T. (Community Alley Trappers) to pick him up but their are at full capacity at the moment. :^( I'm sad that they can't take him in and it is also sad that there are so many pets waiting for a good home.
Anywho! Rascal eats like an ogre and he's about to blow my budget, lol. Since him and Raven don't get along, we brought a big box outside, jammed it under the patio table so the wind wouldn't blow it away, brought out some blankets and spread a quilt on top in an effort to protect him from the wind.
It took a while to get to the bottom.
On Wednesday, he was gone. The snow melted a lot this week, so we figured the wild was calling him back. It's easier to catch rodents when the snow isn't deep.
I worked a bit on the Four-Block quilt. As I was quilting, I wondered if the pencil marking will disappear in the wash.
I am also getting backings together for the baby tops. Isn't this one lovely ?
I was in the "process" of getting my sewing room organized, again!

Through the years, this place is only getting worst. It's a mess.

I'm so organized at work but my sewing room . . .
It's an enigma to me. So, I started to remove everything from the floor.
I thought these milk crates would be better since they store upward. Before I was even close of having half of the fabric organized,
I decided to get the flannel out to make backings. (on the left, the two pinks and in the foreground the blue and green fabric are all flannel) Sigh! I know I'm ADHD and I knew I will do this and I tried to stop myself but this morning, I got up and all I could think of were the flannel that would go great with this top and this one and . . . and there's no cure. 😞
I bet you didn't know that the top of a cabinet door is a flat surface. Ha!
Hopefully, I'll start 2026 with an organized sewing room. 😶
Back to the office, we had the potluck lunch on Dec 18th which is also my DH's birthday. (We were both so tired from our day at work that we didn't celebrate. We ate leftovers and went to bed early. To sleep that is, lol.)
At the potluck lunch, we receive gifts from the bosses. There's so many things in the gift box like a prepaid credit card, lip balm, chocolates, Mason jar soup, hard candies, amongst other things, and a Christmas card. The one I got is so cute that I want to share it with you.
Peace, love and hot chocolate . . . and a quilt! Oh my gosh! She gave me the card that has a quilt on it. She SOOOO gets me. 💝
With this, I wish you all a very
rest of the year, filled with good time, pleasant company, sweet moments you will remember forever and health. And hot chocolate!
Cheers! ;^)
P.S. The comments left on my last post are not coming to my inbox. Sigh! The more it changes the more it's the same. Lol.
