Slow Sunday Stitching - December 15, 2024

 Well, Dela is settling in well.   I got her microchipped and licensed with the city.   Housebreaking has been a real success, and walking in harness is coming along well.  We are starting obedience classes soon.  But first she has to have some dental surgery.  Poor baby.  I'm pretty sure her being a somewhat picky eater is probably due to mouth pain; she likes soft treats and food better than crunchy treats and kibble.

She likes to sleep under my desk in the footwell - nice in the winter, like having a living foot warmer 🐕😄.

Christmas things are a bit crazy, including extra rehearsals, kid's programs and so forth.  Somehow being retired has not included being more organized! (2025 goals) 

On the crafting side, I'll admit that I haven't been very productive, but I did get some travel stitching done on the last of the Animal Santa set of perforated paper ornaments.   Looking back, I notice that I have not shared any 'in progress' pictures since I started this one back in September!

The 'Feline Santa" Ornament by Willmauer has the Santa completed (except the beard/moustache which goes in last) and the first of the three cats has been started.  I'd kind of like to get him done so I can get him up on the tree.  So I may make finishing off the white fluffy kitty on his shoulder and black tuxedo cat down by his ankles a focus this week.

Linking up with the SSS crew.
