That is according to the Christmas Clock…wasn’t it Thanksgiving just yesterday? For those of you that are not lucky enough to be owned by a cat, this is how you wrap holiday gifts.

Speaking of Thanksgiving…how was yours? The cats and I had a wonderful weekend spending lots of time together as I literally stitched my fingers to the bone. The Welcome Door by Annie Lane is almost finished, the 3 ornaments by Pepperberry Designs are close to coming off the bars and the last class piece for TNNA is finished! well so very close as the Turkey Work needs just a little more sculpting. I promise I will have pictures coming very, very soon. I just need to order a few more threads and finish writing my stitch guides.

Now my plans are to make some time to work on Bastet, canvas by Tapestry Fair. I have allot more of this stitched than what shows here…I just need to finish the background, her beaded necklace and a little more around the jeweled lotuses.

But I can only hope to finish this, since this is such a busy time of the year. Something I learned from Meredith many classes ago, if you can set aside just an hour a day for stitching, you will be surprised at how much you can get. An hour really doesn’t sound like much at all and you think, why bother? Try it, it really works.

Yes it’s only 22 days ’till Santa arrives too! I love Christmas time, always did and always will. It is such a wonderful time of the year and I take it all in. The decorating, the Christmas Carols, baking cookies, planning Christmas Eve & Christmas dinner with my sister & her husband, the shopping, the parties, wrapping gifts, sending cards, putting up my Christmas trees…yes did I say trees? well I will have 4 of them this year!

so why does she run outside only to want to come right back in? cats, go figure!

and until next time…keep on stitching
