Bits and Pieces

 

While the trees were being cut down last week I spent a lot of time downstairs working on ideas for this year's Christmas cards and hated all of them. I just got another delivery of some things that might be an improvement-or not. I'm starting to think I should have just bought a box of cards this year. The expense has gotten ridiculous. 

Included in that expense was a new desk chair for the room. I have one but Pup insists on sitting in it with me which is very uncomfortable so I'm giving her the soft cushy chair and using this generic rolly thing myself. The things we do for our critters.....

The chair hasn't been assembled yet because I also bought a new light/fan combo for the upstairs (very messy) sewing room. It was a comedy of errors putting it up that included a late afternoon cross county dash to Home Depot for that medallion thing. It seems I didn't realize the hole the other light would leave would be bigger than the base of the new one. It was a tense situation but at least now I have a much brighter light to work by especially now that the sun goes down so early. 

And...I confess that what's taken up a ridiculous amount of my time this week has been the puzzle The Mister's been working on. He's given up on the top of the trees so I've taken over with the understanding that it needs to be done soon so he can get out his Macy's Thanksgiving Parade puzzle. No pressure there. And yes, I'm working it upside down. This is the way it makes sense to me.
