Good Morning Friends

DMC your kitty pics are adorable!

No Christmas tree for us because of the cats who I know for sure would just destroy it.

Thank you Capricorn .. yep, had a wonderful time but, as always, good to be home.

I have been tossing up whether to share a progress pic of my latest cross stitch but as we were [late to the party, as always] talking crafts; here goes ….

This one has been in the making for the past 3 months, working on it most evenings for a couple of hours:

Some previous efforts which I have kept, others I have given to friends and family.

Beautiful cross-stitch! I haven’t done any for years. I do put my stockings up as I put a lot of time into them. I had someone else sew the actual stocking together which I regretted as she did a terrible job. I was scared to do it myself after all the hours I put into them. They are not sturdy enough to put anything into them.

Sour, sure people name plants. Most of mine have names like Nightmare, Lucille, Kryptonite, Black Magic Woman, Giggles, Snickers, Chuckles. Of course I hybridize them so pretty much have to name them. Even have one named "Cow Patty,"- an amazing bloomer.

I even used to name ordinary house plants, I had one called Eurydice- probably spelled wrong but, when I had her I still had most of my brain function. Also had Orpheus , and
Ozymandias.

I just found this - thought I'd give you guys a laugh. It's poking fun at the kiwi accent!

Jae I watched that video and I was as confused as poor Santa. I think it's great that you can type "American" words so well without any accent. Have no trouble understanding you at all. Good show

@sunflour, Of course the shirts talk back. Why else would I talk to them ?

they are lovely - but I would fear placing them even close to the fireplace?

. We have run our A/C to be able to have a fire for Christmas.

. I recently crossed paths with a family from New Jersey, the 6 year old boy could not understand me at all nor could I understand a single word he said.
