Not a lot to talk about but Christmas is neigh

I am reading a story out loud in installments 

to Mr Husband, the story is by George MacDonald and is 

called the wise woman and we are quite enjoying it.

Today was a day when I feel that I have so much to do

but other things come up and keep me from getting a lot done.

I did, however, sew back on a button from my red wool coat.

I don't have any training in sewing buttons nor did I look online.

I just did it best I could.

There was a small red button inside and a large shiny button

on the outside, and these had match up so that the small inside

button can keep the outside button stable and in place.

The inside small red button (above) was moving every which way

until I put thread through both sides (after having it through the wool

fabric once) so that it stayed still and then I started pushing the big

needle through the wool fabric to the outside button and from there

sewed it on through many times....

It's now very stable and steady.

I am going to have to redo the top button as well, as it is 

getting pulled out of place and only 2 grey threads left holding it on.

I have LOTS of Christmas letters to get out yet

and more presents to wrap...

it will all get done... all in good time...

Praying for everyone who is having a hard time at Christmas.

May God help us all and have mercy on us.
