Weekly update December 20th, 2020

Hi everyone,

Time for my weekly update.. 

I'm a year older this week.  Had a very quiet birthday.

continued with ...                                                            Last week...

Embellished with a few putini pins.



Stash:
Mail has been a series of packages traveling around (taking the scenic route) and never quite reaching their destination. That makes sending all of my Christmas packages late. Luckily friends and family understand and they will get to celebrate on a different day. My fabric of the month from Colour & cotton has been in transit to me since December 5th. Staying 90 miles away since the 11th....several other packages in the system - they probably won't make it here before Christmas as we had no mail delivered to town on Thursday (storm) and Saturday (who knows why - no room on the truck?). The 4 packages that were arriving tomorrow now indicate arriving late when I just checked the tracking.

Today, I had a special offer from a seller on ETSY (Stitchy Princess) for her pdf charts.

I chose: Woodland Winter Primitive Sampler and Winter Primitive Sampler

Other stash still on the way.. I'll share when it actually arrives. In the meantime, there's always pdf's from Etsy    LOL! 

We had another inch or so of snow today. Expecting it to get warm again and rain on Christmas eve.


This was taken on Friday.
 
Until next time,
Have a wonderful day!
