First that Christmas is coming like a freight train this month--oh my--!!!!
And secondly--that this move is the 'hardest' move I have done in many years--even harder than my very first move to Florida--nearly 10 years ago--that one was hard cause I had to sell so very much of all my 'country' collections and country type furniture--
Maybe it's because--
1.--really no warning--so no time to pack--
2.--cause I am 10 years older--hummm???
Today --my plan was to get the Christmas decorating done--now that was a big joke--though I am not laughing--grrrrr!!!!
It has just been of those days where everything I attempted to do--either didn't work--or didn't look right after I spent time putting things together--or something----I finally stopped and had lunch and thought that would work--but--it just didn't seem to--------!
So I am going to do this post--and then chill in my rocker with some hand work!!! and hope I don't mess that up too---( I did have a good day yesterday and did get some things done--but somehow that 'genie' didn't get up with me this morning!!!????)
I have been getting a little stitching done--
I did get the ABC sampler with the turkey done-
and I got it done--as far as the stitching just before Thanksgiving---
but it is not made into a little pillow yet--???
And I got November's Woven Wreath finished the other day--
So now I just have to do the December one--it reminds me of my growing up--Family Thanksgivings--we made alot of different kinds of pies--not sure which we looked forward to the most--the Roast Turkey or the pies afterwards????
And this is the Cross stitching I am working on right now--
That sled was so long that I didn't want to get the count wrong--so I did each package and would do the sled to meet the end of the packages and then the tree--was a good plan and it worked out nicely--now to finish this by Christmas--????
Last night I did buttons on bear sweaters and dressed 2 of them up--
how do you like my Santa hats??? I have had these for years!!!

Sounds like you’ve still got a bit to do in the new apartment.
Nice to be able to sit relax and stitch.
Your bed look very Christmassy ….
It sounds like you are staying very busy. Moving is a big job. I hope all goes well as you settle in. Your turkey sampler is precious. I have been working on mine as well. I love your heart block as well. Thank you so much for stitching along with me, Di. Enjoy your week. Hugs.
I smiled at your "problems" I recognise them......and laughed at the kidnapping sign. Although you're clearly busy you sound happy and your stitching is lovely. All the best, Elaine in UK
Moving is a chore no matter the age, but it does definitely get more challenging as you get older. Hopefully you are settling in and things are starting to line out.
