Here we go again!

 AGAIN????  I. Hate. Bursitis. I had another flare in my right shoulder and when it began to get better, the left shoulder flared. If that's not enough, the right shoulder flared again! No stitching for a while. It is just too painful to use my arms in certain ways. At least this one is not quite as bad as the 2 month round I had back in August but any bursitis flare is not welcome in this house!

It has been such a hectic and stressful month so far, I decided to just order Thanksgiving dinner for us from Cracker Barrel. No dirty dishes to clean up! Plus they have really good food! We love to have brunch there and have had many of their dinners and have never been disappointed!

 

This whole catastrophe with him sent me on a buying spree for my own therapy! After I ordered the items mentioned in my last post, I ordered a sticker book for my Book of Days 2021.

 

I also ordered some magnetic ties for those big pieces to keep the excess fabric controlled.

 

Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart.

Just Words

Yes, I am still working on the Mother's Tree but the hand cramps started over the weekend so I took a few days off from the needle to let my hands rest up before getting back to work.

When I put my stitching aside to give my hands time to get over the cramps, I play in my stash. I have so many designs in my Stitching Bucket List but I have ear marked 10 of them for 2020. LOL. I am not saying I will get all 10 completed next year (that would be a miracle) but those are the ones I have my sights on. I am staying busy to make sure I have every thing I will need for each sampler I do complete.I have also been concerned about storage of these finished samplers (until I get them framed) so I was able to find a cross stitch project roll protector

We had plenty of unexpected errands to keep us busy all week as well. Our weather has gone from chilly sweater mornings to wearing that sweater ALL day!

Thanksgiving is coming up and I no longer cook that big meal for several reasons. My husband and I decided it would be easier and more enjoyable to just go out. There are not many places open on Thanksgiving that appeal to our taste so we decided to do something different this year. We are going out for an early Thanksgiving breakfast (at one of our favorite places) before the crowds start and then everyone can just do their own thing the rest of the day with sandwiches and such. Easy clean up.

Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart.
