My new sewing machine !

After a whole month home, hubby went back to work yesterday. Every christmas, he is off for two weeks, but had to stay home another two more because of back and neck problems. He's been having back problems for many years and being a lineman for hydro doesn't help. But i must say here that during his 2 weeks holidays, he worked too hard renovating our bedroom. I told him to slow down, that he had all winter, but hubby's a pig head...And he hurt his back...again...humph...Me was mad, cause he never listen until he realizes he should have. He always tells me " i hate to say you were right. " and i reply: " i am a woman, i am always right. " Teehee ! Poor hubby, he lives in a woman's world, no guys in the house except him. Even the cat is a she. So sometimes i must let him beleive he is a fine good rooster. Awww, i am so mean...I can't help it, i love to tease him.
So.... Need i tell you the house was really quiet and empty yesterday ? I should have been happy, having the house to myself and going back to my sewing is something i was longing for. But i missed my little boy. I did nothing but roam around the house and knit. I have tons of orders to complete, there is not much time for knitting. So i must push myself to go back in my sewing room. Guess i need time to get back to my routine.
The christmas season was very nice and cozy this year. Despite hubby's desire to tear down walls, i had time to take things easy, go for walks and do some knitting. I had many lovely gifts from everyone and hubby even surprised me with a new sewing machine ! I had an old basic one and was dreaming of having something with more stitch patterns. So imagine my joy when he offered me the singer fashion mate ! 70 stitch patterns, oh my !!! I was so happy, my face was gleaming when i saw him coming to me with the the big box. It works so perfectly, so smoothly, she hums so happily compared to my oldie. Poor thing, she has been working so hard for so many years. I will send her for a good tune up and give it to young daughter Anne. I know my old machine will give her many hours of happy sewing and creating.
I hope your day is good !

Christmas Eve

It is almost Christmas Eve. I received a call from my hubby, he is still out there in the USA, but good news ! He is coming back tomorrow !!! He will leave early morning and told me he should be back around supper time. That means the count down begins for me. I still have a little shopping and gift wrapping to do, but at least, the house is all decorated and homey. We had another snowstorm this sunday and everything is so beautiful. The snow is a pure glittery white and the trees are all covered in a soft white blanket.

This is my house. I took a picture around supper time. I like to dress up warmly and play in the snow. I feel like a little girl. The weather is cold, even today, -10c, but it is magical.

It is a good thing we have a snow blower, it would have been very difficult physically to shovel all that snow. I just got in and my cheeks are cold and red and i am happy.

I will have my gift wrapping done, play some old Bing Crosby christmas songs, maybe bake some x-mas cookies and knit those last minutes gifts. A busy schedule, meaning i won't get to bed 'til very late at night.

To me, the last few days before christmas are the most exciting ! Everything is so beautiful and magical .
I wanted to share with you a little bit of my life here and of my home all ready for christmas.

Before i leave , i want to wish every one the most beautiful and happy Christmas. I hope you will all spend a loving moment with all your loved ones, and for those travelling, be careful on the roads and have a safe journey.



* Merry Merry Christmas to all *
