Hi all. Except for 2 strings that will show the raven pulling the shed, it is done. A recap- my sister gave me the pattern for Christmas 2025, and due to your advice- I asked her to buy me the fabric, which she graciously gave me. I made a number of changes- the snow- both in the “air” and “ground” are a combo of B5200 floss, Kreinik braid#4, and petite and regular white beads. I added red beads to the tree instead of stitching them, and I used the Kreinik +B5200 on the gifts and the “bows” are beads. The snowflake on the gift under the mouse is a Just Another Button button. 😆 Finally, the white parts of the raven and mouse Santa hats are white Bella Lusso Fleur de Paris. It took a while, but I made it my own. I love it, and it gave me a chance to thank my sister again. Let me know what you think. Here it is…

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Today Poppy goes back to the vet for a procedure to test protein in her urine. Apparently they insert a small needle. The test is to see if the Lyme's has affected her kidneys. We are on pins and needles and hope it hasn't affected them. On the upside she hasn't taken the gabapentin and is her usual active self, no fever, and eating and drinking normally. So, I get to stay here with Buddy and entertain him while they're away. I can't believe it's the middle of the week already! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good Tuesday morning everyone. I hope all of you enjoyed the long weekend. We changed our minds and bbq'd baby back ribs instead of making a ham. The weather was perfect with not a cloud in the sky and 82 degrees. It was so nice after weeks of dreary gray, cold, and rain. Today promises to be the same. It's a trip to the store for those things you run out of at the end of the month. I am excited that I am almost finished with the second to last row on "Lady", too. I looked in my cross stitch journal and I've been working on her since October of 2024! Have a terrific Tuesday!
