Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas... Ours was quiet - and the rain took away almost all of our snow.. all that was left were snow piled up from plowing. We did have a dusting yesterday and today. Expecting a wintry mix for New Year's.

Thinking I might have to sew something to store my needleminders....hmmm...
 

 

 

 

 

Everything Cross Stitch had a 12 days of Christmas sale...so these jumped in my cart..Some perforated paper was backordered... but everything else arrived... some new scissors, a few charts... and 6 sleds...
Why the sleds? Well because I signed up for a monthly subscription at Crazy Annie's Stitchin 2021 Let's Go Sledding Ornament series designs by Annie Beez Folk Art Exclusive club

 

More on the way...but it never arrived...sigh...maybe next week.

Until next time,

Weekly update December 20th, 2020

FFO:

Thursday we had about 8" of snow. So I went through my projects and started to gather necessary supplies to FFO a few of them...

 

 

The stitching on this was completed in February 2020

Fabric: 16 ct PTP Alchemy Aida
Threads: DMC
Stitch Count: 61 x 61, 2 over 1
Cross Stitch

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!

Still going through paperwork...took more than a week to get though to one of the insurance companies that dispersed Dad's pension check. 

Had an inch or two of snow on Wednesday.

 

DH's lawn tractor finally arrived (after the snow) on Thursday.

 

Thursday Mom had Dr. visit follow up from skin cancer... noticed a few spots (pre-cancer) that needed treatment... but all is good....yea!

 

Signed up for the birthday card & floss again for next year. Now I'm brainstorming ideas of something special to include with their card & floss.

 

Until next time,

Have a wonderful day!
