Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

I almost got the top border of Patchwork Hiver finished this week. I have one more small box to fill in and then it's going in timeout for the rest of the winter. I know it drives people crazy when I do this but this one is just too Christmasy to work on now. I'll save that last side border for next year.



I will finish Llama Lump this year. I just have a few snowflakes to stitch here and there and then it's a done deal. I've got two more of the stacked critter collections stashed away to start in the spring. Some goats and some pigs, I think.




And.....if you want a laugh. Here's how we get our groceries down to the house when it snows. We have a long steep driveway and we park at the top of the hill so this has been our solution for years. It's great fun. I even took a few more slides down the backyard after I get everything put away. It's melting fast though. It'll be 60 by the end of the week. Boooo........

    I have not been tobogganing in years. As a child I had so much fun with it. However, right after I was born I have three older siblings. My father went to visit my mother and kept saying the kids have a terrible cold. When my mother got home, she quickly realized it was not a cold, it was whooping
    cough. I got it and was very sick that winter. Born in October. This left me with bronchitis and so anytime outside for me was rare. I usually got bronchitis until I was 12 or 13.

    Sorry I just want to say also I love your cross stitch. I must get back to it if I can find one I like.

    Beautiful stitching. The llamas are so cute.

    Your pieces are both lovely, and I get why you'd want to put the Christmas one away. My problem is that once I put a craft piece in timeout, it rarely comes out (at least not until I clean out my craft closet). Your grocery solution is simple and efficient; I'm a fan!

    Stitches are looking great! We are supposed to get a warm up mid-week but then back to cold again by the weekend.

    Looks like that sled does double duty! Fun and work. Very creative idea for moving all those groceries easily.

    I hear you about putting christmas stuff in a time out (but I almost...almost...bought a bunch of new Christmas patterns yesterday!). We are now very warm and I'm contemplating opening a window! Oh the differences a week makes. Your stitching is glorious.
