"Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas,

  when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring,

  not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

. . . . sort of

As you know, I have been madly working on my Christmas stocking, trying to finish by today. Although I am close - it is not quite finished.

Yesterday morning about 10, I finished all the cross stitch -  and had to do all the back stitching and embellishment work.  I worked like a fiend late into last night and most of today but couldn't quite finish and still have a life.

I am not going to do what I normal do at the end of Christmas and put it up and say I will finish it before next year.  By New Year's Eve it will be done!

We did manage a nice long walk at the Isle of Palms this afternoon and I played with my new camera some - so

Happy Christmas to  all,

  and to all a good night!
