Not working out

Post by Rose »

Things have not been working out this week. I still have not sat down once to stitch. So many things going on. Christmas and work related activities. I do not think I can get the pumpkins done in time for Christmas. :(

I have had some good stuff happen. Santa thinks I have been very good this year and so he sent me this.

If that comes under the heading of 'Not Working Out', then what's it like when things go well?

Regards,

Richard.

You must have been very very very good, Rose!

Hope you will manage a bit of stitching time amidst the seasonal rush.

I think that since it was a few days early the mandatory down the chimney was suspended. I found it in the drive with a little elf on guard. @rotfl: @rotfl:

Actually I was involved with the entire process because it is my daily drive. So I had to be sure that I got what I wanted. The big thing was the color. I wanted red, so it had to be ordered in as, red is not a base color. So it is an upgrade and of course an increase in the cost. But it was not a lot and it was what I really really wanted. And at my age I will walk away if it is not going to happen.
