I'm still here! Even though I haven't posted in a while (longer than usual), y'all have been on my mind. I want to thank all of you who still visit and read and leave such lovely comments. Thank you for sticking with me during what has been a pretty sparse stitching year. Actually, I've been stitching like a mad woman, but all I've had time for since the move has been Open House stitching, which I can't share (yet). So you've been getting kitties and occasional stash updates and little else for months. Thank you so much for still being here.
We've had a couple of rough Christmases around here these last two years, and we decided to really lean into it this year. We started decorating and shopping at the beginning of November, so our decorations and tree have been up for several weeks. It's a good thing we did because with Mr. Wonderful's squadron things are extremely busy and getting busier. I like slow, quiet holidays, but his position requires us to be present at a lot of events, so there's been more to-ing and fro-ing than usual.
Only last night I put the final stitches into this year's Christmas Open House. I still have framing/finishing, photographing, and blogging yet to do. I'm cutting it closer than I'd like time-wise, but it's been that kind of a year. But now I'll be able to stitch at a more enjoyable pace and actually share what I'm working on.
The girls are thriving. They're going to the vet next week for their shots and I'm hoping we don't get fussed at for being over 12.5 lbs each. They don't eat too much and they're not overweight, they're just... sturdy. Sweet Tiger Lily may have hit 10 lbs for a minute in her prime, but she was mostly in the 9+ lb range, so this is a new experience for us. Fingers crossed we don't get in trouble!
So that's a bit of what's been going on around here. I've been pretty quiet, but I've been pretty busy, and I wanted to thank you for still being here and assure you we. are. not. skipping. Christmas!
Stay tuned!
