It was a busy week getting ready for Thanksgiving and then doing all the cleaning up afterwards. I'm sure I wasn't alone and I hope you all are getting a chance to relax a bit and catch up after all the food and fun. We had a great time with 10 at the table and a visit from a cousin we hadn't seen in years as well. He was just in time for dessert. The last bits of pie and turkey noodle soup are almost gone. I don't know how many pounds I gained. I guess I should step on the scale. Oh no! That's too scary!
So now, I'm busy getting my Christmas lists made and shopping done. I'm sure you all have all that done but I've got a ton to do. I haven't made my Christmas cards yet and I have dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies to make for the dear grandchildren and their families. I do hope I will be able to get it all done. But, I do have our Christmas tree out on the porch ready to set up. See, I've started on Christmas!
We have FW Club Classes this weekend. If you are within driving distance I sure hope you can come. Skip over to the Class Schedule page and scroll down to see what we'll be doing this month. We're making a FW sewing machine mat that will take us 2 months. You can see the picture of the part we'll be doing this month when you check to see what you need to bring.
While I was making the FW sewing machine mat I was reminded that we do need to put a drop of oil on the bobbin assembly teeth when we start sewing for the day. Do you remember that I had you run your machine before we did the maintenance for the first time? I wanted you to see how much better your FW would sound once it was oiled, greased and lubed. Well when I started the FW mat, I stitched a bit of a line before oiling those teeth and was immediately reminded because the sound wasn't as beautiful as I like to hear. So, I know it might seem like a bother to do that one drop of oil every day but oh my, what a difference it makes in the end. That beautiful click, click, click is music to my ears. The clack, clack, or grind, grind makes cold chills go up my spine. Do oil those teeth. (Yes, I do see that I need to clean out the fuzz but I needed to get this picture first!)
Okay, I hope to see you in a class but if you can't be there, I understand. I hope to check in with all of you before the big holiday and try to see how you all are doing about getting ready. I'll be honest and tell you all about the stuff that I still have to do. And, I won't be jealous of you having everything already done. Well, maybe just a tiny bit jealous. You do understand, right? Have a good week, all.
