I got through all of the easy, light-colored stitching on the Halloween Mill Hill kit. Now it's a gothic nightmare of dark (everything) on black. I may end up putting it away until spring when there's more light.

I haven't been feeling well this weekend, which sucks. I got my flu and Covid shots (yay!) which left me feeling a bit sluggish. Then I ate too many treats and gave myself a tummyache. :(

Today I had a brainwave and realized that I could take these 3 finished Christmas Pusheen cross stitches and turn them into something suitable for hanging on the tree! For backing, I have some scrap fabric that is a lovely festive red. Unfortunately getting the sewing machine out is a hassle so (in my wisdom) I decided to try hand sewing. It's a bit of a slog. But I haven't drawn blood yet so I've got that going for me.

If I'm really with-it I may even post pictures to my journal. No promises.

Edit: just saw this!

I have been watching Junior Taskmaster which is a hoot. I'm reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and ... wow, it's a product of its time (late 1940s). Very good, but I frequently got tired of the Earth Men and had to put it down for a bit. Previously I read Machine Vendetta by Alastair Reynolds (third book in a trilogy), highly recommend

Good luck with handsewing! It is so much fun and much less lethal than you may fear
