Good Morning!
How are you? I had intended to post yesterday, but forgot that I had a podiatrist appointment in the morning (a painful ingrown toenail is now history). I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing weekend. Ours was good and we saw Colin & Mailing briefly on Saturday to give Mailing her b-day presents. No baby yet, but they are definitely ready for that little girl to come!!
Sunday I deep-cleaned the guest room in preparation for my brother arriving tomorrow (YAY). That cleaning just about did me in! LOL. I confess to not having cleaned that room in some time - no one was using it and it had become a dumping ground of sorts for various objects. Funny how quickly that can happen. Anyway, it is all clean with fresh sheets on the bed, dusting and vacuuming finished. Now we are just waiting.
And it's Tuesday! So, time for a TNT update. There has been progress!!
The tree is complete (except for some leaves) and a blue bird has landed on one of its lower branches. And a little boy has appeared leaning against the house (which is still not finished being built). Said little boy is holding a pumpkin almost as large as he is! This piece is a bit on the whimsical side, but fun.
Today I've got laundry to do and a minor grocery shopping. Fletch is busy this morning with an appointment so I will be on my own.
I hope your Tuesday is a good one. My plan is to relax this afternoon with some knitting and/or stitching.
So excited for you all to have that little baby at Christmas ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love the bluebird and the boy! The pumpkin is quite huge, and I look forward to seeing more of this sampler next week. Have a lovely Tuesday and I hope you have a great visit with your brother!
ReplyDeleteFabulous progress on the stitching!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a new baby for Christmas. I'm guessing that she will be a very doted on baby. :-) The sampler is coming along great. That is one big pumpkin. Poor little guys legs! lol
ReplyDeleteI hope your visit goes well. I'm still down but enjoying a bit of time to catch up with everyone.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
I hope you've set aside some time for a nap after all that cleaning! The stitching is looking good -- love that big pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I open your blog I'm hoping for a little baby photo! Can't be long now!
ReplyDeleteYou've done quite a bit on that sampler! That house alone would take me years.
ReplyDeleteDecember babies are so much fun. I had my first the day after my own birthday on the 16th. The hospital was in full holiday mode and he came to me wearing a little Santa hat. I just had to name him Nicholas after St Nick. My grandmother thought I named him after Kris Kringle and labeled all his gifts and cards Christopher. True story.
Doesn't it feel great to have that guest room all "spiffed up" and ready for your brother? We have spaces in our house that end up like that, too. They just become a landing spot for, well . . . everthing! enjoy your day. XO
ReplyDeleteA friend and I took a short road trip today. The weather was absolutely perfect!
