STITCHING WITH IRIS

I finished this before Thanksgiving but haven't had a chance to show it off until now.

Bob and I both tested positive for COVID.  I tested positive the day after Thanksgiving and Bob tested positive the next day.  Yesterday was my last day of quarantine and today is Bob's last day.  Shirley also tested positive the same day as Bob.  Needless to say, not much has been done around here.  I did feel good enough to bake some cookies.  I made Snowballs on Monday and shortbreads on Tuesday.  Today I am going out to a local candy store, Sweet Ashley's, to pick up boxes of candy for Sandy, Kathy, and Lori for Christmas presents.  I have a coupon that expires today and while it is only 10% that is money in my pocket not theirs.  I will be going back to wearing a mask again when I go into any stores.  While I know where we got infected, it was from a family member, I will not take a chance of getting this again.  It wasn't worse than a head cold but if I can protect myself from getting it again I plan on taking every percaution.

Got a text the other day that a friend from the Welfare office passed away.  Mary Hartzman was a clerk in my clerical unit for many years and then became an Income Maintenance Worker.  She was such a nice person.  She has had MS for many years and died from a heart problem.

 

 I really like stitching on smalls in the afternoon.  These 2 were really fun and quick.

My Christmas present stitching is finished.  Now that doesn't mean I won't do any more if I have the time.

This is the back of all the 2022 Christmas ornaments I am making for my Great Nieces & Nephew. The only difference will be the color of the ribbon, green, red and white.

 I was hoping I would finish Cardinal Point yesterday.  But the frog came to visit.  I won't have much time to stitch today as we are going out to lunch with some of Bob's high school friends.  I should have some time this evening but the words have been slow going.  Tomorrow for sure.

I finished the stitching on Cardinal Points except for the words.  I love it.

I also finished the stitching on Brittercup Designs Autumn is in the Air.  I think I am going to make this into a no-sew cube.

This is my 32nd stitching finish for 2022
