So I woke up at 5 and couldn't go back to sleep. I gave it an hour and when snoozing didn't happen, I got myself up and downstairs.
And I now have a very fancy bug.
It still needs antennae and legs but I have to finish the gold band around the piece before I can stitch them. I'm beginning to feel the need for a nap, so maybe this isn't the right time to carefully couch down delicate gold threads.
I've also added several rows to the Flame stitch piece I'm doing in the evenings.
This is going to take a minute or two to stitch--but it really is the perfect project to do later in the day.
Other than that, things are icy cold and they are predicting the dread wintry mix, which means sleet, freezing rain, and possibly half a dozen or so snowflakes. The Saint was supposed to come this weekend for our combination Thanksgiving/Christmas feast, but she sprained her ankle doing something with garlands at her church. Consequently, she will likely be coming for a combination Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's/ possibly Valentine's Day get-together. We'll figure it out later. However, we are still cooking and celebrating since the turkey was already thawing when disaster struck. Tomorrow, therefore, I will be cooking and mixing and preparing whatever can be cooked and mixed and prepared ahead of time.
"Tis the season!
