Merry Stitching

Normally today is a work day. I'm happy to have it off. Now I can enjoy my presents and continue my organization of stitchy things. My daughter made me feel better earlier this week, when she told me that she could find exactly what she was looking for in my studio when I was gone in November. Now if only I could do that myself.

One of my presents was from Cohana. 

On Sunday, I went into my closet with the hanging clothes, purses, sweaters and sweatshirts. Also my beading. I did a lot of bead sorting in 2023 when I was recovering from Covid-19. But this time I created labels and swapped things around. I will no longer be throwing sweaters up high and everything should stay more organized.

Also bought all three Whitney books. What a treasure! There will be hours lost perusing these. Well, not lost. But you know what I mean. 

Double Dagnabbit

 I finished my Dr. John ornament and forgot to take a photo. Silly, me.

That could be the last finish of 2024.

Am working on the Magical Santa now while Aunt Martha's bread is rising. Too bad I have to stop and make dinner. Salmon for Christmas Eve. 

Dag Nabbit

 

Can't believe I've forgotten to post here. The usual flurry of activity and I've lost track of time. 

Here's my Dr. John ornament from Jude.

We've had an EGA holiday party, a sampler guild holiday party, some shopping, some stitching, some framing, some presents both to give and to receive.

Meanwhile I need to create my WIPGO board for 2025. I thought I had plenty of time... 

Seaside Needlepoint

 In which I take the oldest granddaughter to the needlepoint store.

She picked a 13 Ct canvas, Am I The Drama?

The answer is yes. 

Also picked up a sugar cookie ornament and a golden retriever, too. 

Delay

Train trip to Florida was uneventful. Two hour drive to the kids' house was fine. 

Had a great week. Will add stitching update. 

Train ride home delayed. Just sitting here in the car in Sanford. Guess I should be stitching.
