So good to hear from you over...Good morning Robin. So good to hear from you over on my blog. I do look forward to your comments. I wish I had more to write about and that life was 'fun' right now. I adore your projects...they are beautiful. I used to love to cross-stitch...maybe I will get back into it again some day...there are so many lovely patterns now.<br />There are so many tragic events lately, or maybe it is that bad stories are the only things the news concentrates on any more. I pray for all those poor people...i can't imagine what they are going through.<br />I am beginning to put up some decorations...fall largely went unnoticed in my decorating...just too much sorrow to get into the mood, but I am determined that Christmas will not be that way. I hope you find the ambition to do a little decorating and share it with us. May December bring you joy, friendship and warmth.

Your stitching on the witches piece looks really good and I'm glad you were able to complete it. I'm not a hooker so I cannot judge but Santa looks good to me! I saw the terrible footage of that parade and I couldn't believe it. In small town Wisconsin of all places. I pray for all those hurt and the families of those lost. It could happen anywhere. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and have a nice weekend in Nod!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-16340266181751835352021-11-25T20:26:16.891-06:002021-11-25T20:26:16.891-06:00That Santa is going to be a showstopper when finis...That Santa is going to be a showstopper when finished. Oh, the chart/pattern names! I guess they are trying to hook a hooker's attention with the "clever" names! Your witches stitchery is just lovely! ~ OW! I interrupt this comment to scream because the smallest rescue cat is biting my bad leg. No wonder people thought they were familiars! Naughty things! ~ I am amazed that your relatives were unfortunately caught up in the Salem hysteria. What an awful time, and now in modern days we have such awful times, too. But don't dwell on it! ~ Oh dear, that horrible kitty keeps biting despite my love and care for him, wretched creature ~ I hope you can keep your spirits up as the days get shorter - we are heading into a time of light Dec. 21st - hang in there.

I keep promising myself I will start one of the many crafty kits I have, but I'm always too busy with other things.

I'm glad that you stuck with it considering all the difficulties and irregularities you encountered with this project.<br /><br />It's remarkable that you have some family connection with these poor souls who were innocent and went to the gallows. <br /><br />Your Santa is looking great even with the little tails. You do good work so I will not criticize your style of working. <br /><br />My blogger friend Carla, from Wisconsin, mentioned the terrible event at the Santa parade. It's so very very sad. The memory of this horrific event will stay for a long time and Christmas will not be the same. he's ruined a happy event and has caused so much grief for the community. My prayers and thoughts are with all these people and the community.<br /><br />Stay safe Robin,<br />Hugs<br />Julia Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-21712817887540152282021-11-22T17:48:20.933-06:002021-11-22T17:48:20.933-06:00Do remember your issue with the stitchery and your...Do remember your issue with the stitchery and your family connection, tho I do not believe they nor you are a witch. I think your simple and primitive Santa looks great, including his coat; leave it until you hook more then decide. Also like your swirl of wool for the background to give the background movement. Mummy dearest approves.<br /><br />Sheesh, believe I have seen that movie but cannot remember how it ends but recall it keeps you on the edge until the end.Saundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442552781415793671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-26903703034656260902021-11-22T17:16:44.865-06:002021-11-22T17:16:44.865-06:00I love your stitching piece and I do remember all ...I love your stitching piece and I do remember all the issues you had. <br />I love your santa and mess or not it looks great. <br />The parade will always be so sad. I heard on the news tonight he was out on 1000.00 bail for running over the mother of his children. Some Judge needs a talking to this is happening way more than it should. In mass this woman tried to get a restraining order on a stalker the judge said no he shot her. Now maybe a restraining order would not have helped but may it would have.<br />I had to turn the new off to much sadness for me. <br />I hope you are cozy and safe in nod.<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.com
