Lookee what I found ~

Found . . . but now needs to be used 😁

I also started another little Christmas stitchery.  I believe I stitched this once a number of years ago but needed another no-brainer thing to work on until I found my hook.  (Hook not really lost, but tucked away because I had no time to hook and didn't want the hooking mess in the living room during the holidays.)  Once again on 28 count linen because as I have said, I have no linen stash.  I started stitching it using the spacing on the chart.

Not happy at all with it, so started over with the letters and rows closer together.  MUCH better . . . but there a couple of snowflakes whose size may need to be adjusted by a couple threads.

I hope your New Year has started off without a bang!  

Thanks so much for stopping by.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

I'm not sure why I make New Year resolutions because I always fail miserably . . . sigh.  The week before Christmas I decided to purge some paperwork.  Did I really need 20+ year old income tax returns for me and my sons?  I mean really!!!  I have a file cabinet in the attic that hasn't been opened in over a decade.  Hopefully I can continue purging paperwork that is totally unnecessary.  

I have both a full basement (though small because my house isn't that big) and a walk up attic.  I think they are more of a curse than a blessing.  Both are overflowing with "stuff".  For the most part I can't tell you what is there, so I probably don't need it, right?  I have a fruit cellar.  Full of things that I haven't looked at in many, many years.  Are you detecting a pattern?

Perhaps 2025 will be the year I get a handle on at least some of my unnecessary items.  Than again, maybe not 😁.

May you and your loved ones be blessed with health and happiness in the new year.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
