Sounds lovely. I actually have kitted away with a Just Nan sampler from
some years ago a stash of Gloriana in flower purples, blues, greens. I'm
thinking of liberating it from the kit and using it.

Thanks. It'll get better. But, I think I'm going to have to give in sooner
(before end of year) rather than later to have the surgery thing done. In
the meantime it's just uncomfy and bruised - though getting better. I
expect I could likely stitch soon.

All very true. But, then for me I get in the mood to paint and it's awkward
holding a brush right not. Wah, wah - so my little whine. However, Donna &
I had a mini-class with Pamela Darney for a Quaker Diamond Sampler thru one
of the EGA chapters. It's a challenge - to be completed for January - and I
have a bunch of motifs with which to play "paper dolls" and lay out my
piece. We have to use the motifs she gave us, though we can break them
apart, and have to use one of the alphabets she gave, include some
particular phrase indicating when/where this challenge was. I think
there'll be interesting variation with what people do. I'm doing mine on
"woodland" from Picture this Plus.
http://www.picturethisplus.com/html/woodland_1.html
Gave me an excuse to add to my Gloriana stash. So, maybe I'll do a little
planning. I really do want to get started on this. But, OTOH, I'm doing
some of my essay writing and a little stitchy research. I do tend to
procrastinate on this stuff, so.....

.Still working on that Santa Cat and Dog for my sister. Now mostly
doing the background - a few details left and the border. Took me a
long time to decide what to do the background/sky in - finally decided
on a verison of Byzantine in an overdye blue perle from DMC. So far,
I like it.

I hope everything is OK. It's when there is a relapse in the flu that
you have to be very very careful, especially with small children.
The flu is rampant here, to the point the company issued directives
saying "Stay Home" if you have it. I just finished a bout of it
mysenf - caught at the office, of course. It seems that are always a
few who think they *have* to work no matter how sick they are, then
they infect everyone else around them. Grrrrrr.

Yesterday was a day off from stitching. Hopefully today I'll get the
last stitches in the 3 Xmas ornaments I started in August and took
on vacation. Instead yesterday was spent taking DB to the ENT
dr. That pesky mono sore throat continues. Oh, and of course
I watched hockey last night. If I had known the first period and a
half were going to be so boring I might have done some stitching.
Once the last of those 3 ornaments are done I expect to start
another for one of DM's friends....I do the stitching, she does the
gifting. I might also start on that Celtic bookmark that Cheryl
found once I decide on colors.
