Good day to you all.
First, Unknown left a message asking about the Christmas Joy drum chart. That is offered by Samplers and Stitches. And it's a gem!! I wish it was by me, but it's not. It's been a very long time since I tried charting something new.
Paisley will hopefully have a backside today and I've chosen dark brown wool. Anything with gold in it does not play well with the linen. Reds are too much and greens are too Christmasy. I do want to order Whittaker soon and have enough of the dark brown for his construction also. Cutting way back on stitching purchases, but I wanted to get a small piece of the Confederate gray for a Santa and found Gray. I emailed to check, and it is the same color linen, Weeks just dropped Confederate from the name.

My CT scan on Tuesday will determine whether I stay on a supplement or switch to an advantage plan. There is no going back if I do. The visit with a periodontist and my dentist resulted in a plan that will cost as much as the mandated sewer system did and the advantage plan will offer very little but at least some help. When you have dry mouth to my degree, and without a treatment for Sjogren's, wearing an appliance whether partial or full is not recommended. So a bridge held by implants is their plan. Three month wait after the posts are in until the bridge is installed, that's a long time being unable to chew. Lots of soups!
Today will be high 40's and I plan to remove the mums which we've babied and protected for weeks. Still colorful, but are failing fast. Husband will golf (thank you!!) and I will finally have an afternoon of complete quiet and solitude. American goulash for dinner, a simple favorite. I found walnuts for 1.99 per pound and we will probably make nut rolls. We purchased several bags out of town a few weeks ago on sale and they taste somewhat rancid.
I hope to show Paisley finished tomorrow! Been so busy getting adjustments made to Carole's house and spending hours online searching for home care appliances/aides, toy availability, clothes for the kids, yoi. Not much stitching was done except for Paisley and a row on Ann.
Enjoy your day! Stay safe.

I love your Paisley. I remember that you were going to change the called for color for her face but couldn't locate the post as to what you decided on. I think you were going to try 822 and/or Ecru. What did you decide on? She looks awesome!
Paisley is so, so cute, Marly! I think a dark brown wool for the back is perfect. I'm feeling the same as you this year... I am SO exhausted from hosting 20 at Thanksgiving, a week long visit from my grandson, and then jury duty on Wednesday, that I, too, am cutting back this year. My tree will go up along with my Pottery Barn cubby display plus a few things in the kitchen and dining room, but I left a lot in the attic. No one will be here except my middle son and his girlfriend who live locally and see us every week so there didn't seem much point to going all out this year. It's actually a relief!
Hope your CT scan goes well on Tuesday. My husband is having one on Friday--shoulder replacement surgery is looming for him, I'm afraid.
Take care now--and stay warm! ♥
Paisley is too sweet!
Good luck on Tuesday. I am afraid to change any of my medical stuff so I keep it the same every year. Traditional medicare and a supplement.
I wish I was cutting back on decorating. If anything I am doing more. Color me stupid.
Have followed the traditional Christmas decor of past years and the routine we followed to store it, made it relatively simple to set up...same quality, just smaller quantity. So many are "cutting back" these days and I am hoping that that will allow time to center attention on Family, loved ones and really being "home" for Christmas. We started with the Nativity and proceeded from there to renewing dear memories.
LOVE your sweet little girl snow person. Waiting to see her finished. Love your Postman piece. Always have.
I think a lot of folks decorating spirits are dampened this season due to various reasons.
The decorating that was done before the 23rd is all that is going to be done. Slowly progressing.
I have dental appointments in my future, but not any in the near future. Hoping any pain will stay away until I can get there.
You are in my prayers for good health, strength, and what you need to help Carole.
Have a good weekend.

Paisley is just too cute. I know what you mean about decorating. We only did a little bit this year. But will probably put out a little extra, the kiddos have decided they will visit after Christmas for a few days.
Sending prayers that all is going well with your ct scan. I had one a month ago and the specialist was very good and was listening very well what I told him about my problems.
Paisly is lovely and I read something in a newsletter about coloring fabric for stitching. The fabric from the same paint bath will not have the same color over the whole length of that fabric, because the fabric is folded up. Therefore the beginning and the end will not have the same color,but will for sale with the same name.
That explosies the different in color of the same name of the fabric.
Take care and stay save, Truus from Holland
Paisley is too cute Marly. Hoping your CT scan goes well on Tuesday. I don't feel much like decorating either...but then we are leaving town for a week at Christmas, so it does not make sense anyway.
