Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a good time eating way too much and visiting with all the family at my mom and dad's house. Our oldest daughter could not come because she had a bad stomach virus. It was sad her not being there. After dinner we decorated our Christmas tree. It is beautiful, lots of ornaments and lots of clear lights. I did not go to the Black Friday sales this year. We had some snow and freezing rain around 9:00 Thursday night. Most of the things I wanted went on sale at midnight and since its a bit of a drive I did not want to take a chance on ending up in a ditch. My daughter did go and she picked up everything I wanted for me. I cooked dinner here on Friday and we had some friends over. It was nice. Today I did laundry and did some more decorating. We put lights on a tree in our yard. We usually put lights all around our roof but I was concerned Joe might fall off the roof. His balance is just not that good anymore. The tree looks very pretty! Tomorrow morning is Mass and then back to work on Monday. We have had a nice holiday.

Another finish

I have finished Acorns. Now to find another chart. I think this one will be an ornament from my new Just Cross Stitch ornament book

Finish!

I finished a Lizzie Kate 'Winter' and worked on Through the Woods. I started Little House Needleworks 'Acorns' and I am half finished with it. I also finished a Lizzie Kate Christmas. On Saturday I bought Just Cross Stitch 2010 Ornament issue at our Halmark store! It has some awesome ornament patterns. My magnifying glass make a hugh difference in seeing 28 ct. but I got a headach from wearing them so much today. Happy Stitching! Christmas is just a few weeks away!

Stitching Update

What a long week. I have been trying to finish up some stitched gifts for the girls. I have almost finished 2 more ornaments. Through the Woods only likes a little being done. I have about 3 bundled of yarn left to finish the afghan. I still need to stitch a few more ornaments. I do have a craft table set up in the extra bedroom so I have a comfortable place to put my ornaments together. I have also worked on Caring Wings. I bought myself a pair of magnifying glasses for $5.00 the other day. What a difference they make! I have no line bifocals but they just aren't good enough. These new glasses are perfect. I wish I could see that clear all the time! lol Well time to get back to stitching. I am almost finished with a Lizzie Kate 'Winter' which I will make into a hanging ornament. Happy Stitching!
