Rain. All day.

Oak leaves have not finished falling, the yard is a total mess.  And the 30 degree temps are coming.  I got three bunches of greenery to fill buckets, and a sprig for the front door.  That's it for Christmas outside, simple, quick.  

Been tied up with requests from Chris and Matt to get kids' gifts ordered.  Sold out.  Will more stock arrive?  Who knows.  Notification comes and  by the time I check, sold out again.

Not much stitching but all that's left is the bottom fill.  I will add a heavier border, just can't do the charted.  Once I get anxious about a project, it's a chore.  And I'm over it.

I stitched several small samplers and I think a Santa is next.  Haven't decided if the other starts will continue in my attempt to break monogamousity.

That new narrow shelf is a game changer for me.  Som projects, like the recent Liberty, will work perfectly displayed as a little pillow.  Too many smalls stacked in a bowl hide the design.  Most times they won't stay upright, whether leaning against something or in a grouping.  This shelf solves that and any small will display perfectly.  I worked out the pattern for hubs a smidge more narrow.

Another strange occurrence this morning at 6:44.  The dark corner of the bedroom has the TV atop a chest.  Behind the TV, the entire corner lit up for second or two, bright, and vanished.  There are no lights, lamps, equipment, or window that could have caused that.  Never before, what the hell is going on?  

Hope everyone is doing well as we head into December.

A visitation from a passed one?

Did your hubby see that light too??? If so,than it could be what Nancy says.
If not,than it could be a side effect from your medication.
Your little sampler is lovely and you could leave it as it is at the moment.
Take care,Truus from Holland

Carole is saying hello.

My first thought is - does the TV still work? Though if something in that flashed, I'd think you'd have mentioned smoke and the smell of fried electronic parts. Truus's thought of medication side effect is interesting, especially combined with your seeing shadows for a few months. Bummer that you are still getting dragged into doing the gift shopping for Carole's grandkids. That's been going on for years now it seems. I hope they don't expect you to pay for it all on top if it.
At least your sampler turned out well!

The little sampler is sweet.

We've been having the gloomy weather too. Perfect napping weather!! Your little sampler is charming.

Your sampler is looking beautiful. The bright light happens to me too. I figured out after having my socks scared off that it was an update to our Roku box that is sent remotely and always seems to happen like 4-6 am.

It is starting to get cold here too! I hope you are having a great start to your holiday season. Your sampler looks great!

When my son lived with us for bit when he lost his job, there were times his tv would turn on green all by itself. He told me it was our ghost that did it. I love your last stitchery. Am working on Joyeux Noel currently. Janice
