Smokey’s Icicles

We decorated the Christmas tree on Sunday. All it needed was a few finishing touches today. Mr. Smokey helped untangle the icicles, but then he decided that they belonged to him. 

This was the look he gave me when I told him they wasn’t his:

Fortunately, he stopped being mad when I went to move  them up off of the floor. I’m pretty sure it’s because they had tangled again during our disagreement, much to his amusement. Plus,, he was able to try to catch them when I lifted each one up to move it! So far he hasn’t tried to climb, maul, or steal from the Christmas tree. I’m pleasantly surprised!

Have a good night!

Stitchin’ Humour

He’s a little behind right now, but he’ll be getting a-head soon!

The First Snowflake

I started stitching this as soon as I posted about finishing my last sampler. This is titled "The First Snowflake" and is designed by Isabella Abbiati from The Primitive Hare. I'm stitching it on gray linen that is a 60 something or other count (the down side to ordering linen from the fabric store website is that I don't know what the count is until it arrives and I count it myself... I feel almost blind stitching on this!). I'm thinking about using buttons for some or all of the snowflakes; it depends on whether or not I have some on hand or if I can buy some soon. Time will tell! I hope that you and yours have a great evening!
 Happy Stitching!

This is the life...

Warm fuzzy blanket, stitching, fake fireplace heater running- what more could a person ask for?

Have a good night!

Snowy Day Finish!

Well, that was more than expected...

I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning... we had been told that “snow showers” were expected, but nothing like this!

It was really coming down earlier! I think it’s stopped now; Dad is estimating that we got 3 inches. This is very early for Missouri yo get a snow- we tend to wait til Dec-Jan and then it’s usually just ice! On the news, they said this is the most snow that some areas have had in November for 67 years!  Kirstie wants to go ahead and decorate for Christmas since it’s a winter wonderland outside. I told her we could go ahead and do the pre-Christmas decorating deep cleaning now. For some reason she was not a fan of that!

Smokey helped me stitch yesterday! (He likes that we wear fuzzy pajama pants after church when it’s cold out!) He’s coming over to help me now, so I guess I’ll go! 

Happy Stitching and warm wishes from Smokey and me!

Happy Veteran’s Day

Thank you to all that have served!!!!
