Happy December

 I start my day with a cup of coffee and my planner.  It’s mostly just a book of lists.  Things I need to do and things I want to do.  If I turn my back or step out of the kitchen Avi makes her move to her favorite spot.  We joke she has lots of plans to make.


Now that the kids are older Christmas looks a little different.  I’m debating on not putting up a Christmas tree. The mantle may be all that gets decorated.  It will be festive and easy to put away.  However, we all did get an advent calendar.  They are too fun.  


Nothing like a daily piece of chocolate.  


I’m still working on my Half and Half Triangle Wrap. It is very close to being finished. This is what I take to my knit group or for car rides. I do enjoy the ease of it. 



I hope your December has started off nicely. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Lisa

 I am still trying to find a rhythm to blogging. A set schedule of posts may never happen for me. I sit to write and find my thoughts all a jumbled mess. I then overthink my photos or lack of photos. If you want pictures of our cat I have a crazy amount of those to share. She is adorable and more than a little bossy.  This is Avi.  She rules the house.    My 2025 cross stitch project was a bust. I could never decide exactly what I wanted to stitch. I’ve since been bouncing around on different projects. The one that is currently holding my attention is a fairy cross stitch.  I’m to the backstitching. I know backstitching isn’t always a favorite thing for some but it’s never bothered me too much.  Sorry about the poor position of the photo. I could not get it to rotate correctly.  I’m trying to decide if I should redo the stitching around her hand. The one looks a little large. It was late when I was working on her.  All I could think was that ...

 I was going to start a stitch a motif a day cross stitch project. I saw CrossCanvasCrafts doing this on YouTube.  It looked like such a fun project. She announced she would be doing it again for 2025. I was all set to participate. You sign up and each week she emails you the patterns. The first email arrived and I didn’t really like the style of this year’s motifs. I know her project will look amazing but it’s not what I want to stitch. I’m considering doing my own. Yes, I know it’s January 7th. I’m still overthinking exactly what and how I want to do for this. I did get a small start last night.  One thing for certain is there will be plenty of cat hair included.  I’m going to keep working on this. I like the idea of a daily project.  Thank you for stopping by for a visit.  Lisa

Cross stitch has been my craft of choice lately.  It’s probably the poking and stabbing I’m enjoying most. Until I miscount and then it’s rip rip rip. I am currently picking out stitches on my Noel project. My goal is to work on this the 25th of each month. It may take me till next month to have all of my messed up stitches removed, ugh tedious! When I’m not picking out stitches this is the main focus project.  It was a stitch-a-long a several years ago.  I’m terrible at keeping up with scheduled crafts, now it’s a stitch-a-lone.  I heard that term on Flosstube and thought it was accurate for me   My last cross stitch project is my Fairy. I need to do the word Imagine.  I’m going to finish her once I clean up Noel. I do have a knitting project. It’s the Half and Half Triangle Wrap by Purl Soho. I work on it mostly for car knitting and my knit group. I’m sure my knit group believes this will never be finished. It’s is my second one so I do eventually finish ...
