Chugging Along

DH went rock climbing for Thanksgiving and Auntie's in her new place so I spent the weekend watching "Murder She Wrote" and stitching.  Angela Lansbury was such a wonderful talented lady - they don't make them like her anymore!

I almost finished "Tending the Hollyhocks":


"Bigfoot in Winter" has most of the characters, he should be ready to visit for Christmas:



and Paddington has most of his hat:

Hello November!



Yikes and a half! Since my last post Auntie went back to the ER, moved into memory care, beat up everyone there, got kicked out back to the emergency room for 6 days (??!!), and is in a new memory care where I don't want to say anything to jinx it but so far she is doing well. Knock wood.

I stitched almost all of this except the beading while hanging out in the emergency room, it's Mill Hill's "Jellyfish".  I am so grateful I cross stitch - I love jellyfish and it was very soothing to be stitching all that blue and focusing on the tentacles instead of how cuckoo Auntie's gotten.


Even though it's an artist's design, I think it's based on the pelagia noctiluca.  These little guys are about the size of your hand and they're bioluminescent.
