Hey, Friends!
Did you set your clock back last night or this morning?
Yes, going back to work was fairly tough, but the week is over and now back into the routine. There were good things to go back to… we’re back to fully staffed now – yeah – for the first time in several years! The pressure relief was honestly noticeable, and I guess the rest from being away helped some on that front, too.
I made a couple more of the little string catchers for practice. 
You’ve asked to see my progress with Mary Gibson, so here she is – not nearly as far along as I’d hoped, but ... I’ll say it’s just less than one quarter finished. I’m going to finish the page I’m working on, then will turn my attention to a few Christmas ornies to share stitching time. Did you see that Diane at Little House Needleworks has decided to carry on with the monthly ornaments she’s created for the last two years? Of course you know that The Twisted Stitcher, Vonna, is the talented artist who finishes them; right? If luck and hope holds out, I’m trying to get to meet her this year… more on that later!
Now I’m going to hop around to see what you’ve all been up to. Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate all your words of kindness!
PeaceëLoveëJoy
and Happy Stitching

Hello again! I would say you have mastered the art of making the thread catchers! Nice jobs! Also wanted to say LOVE the animation of Pixie in your sidebar! One of my two granddogs is a black toy poodle named Thor--he is six. His adopted brother is an apricot toy and he is about three we guess. My daughter and her family love those dogs!! Hugs!
