Christmas Season is now upon us and I'm not in the mood! Really. NOT in the mood. I hate to be a Scrooge, but there it is!

Husband decorated the little pine in the front yard:



I put up my hand-stitched ornament trees:



and the foyer tree is up but not decorated.

Otherwise, you wouldn't know it was Christmas around here.

Another week of minimal stitching. I got sucked into a really harrowing round of challenges on a computer game I play, I am working (in my head, if not with my hands) on a papercrafting challenge due next Friday, and I am two years behind on one television series and one year on another (and my DVR is rapidly filling up!)!

I did work on my Crazy quilt Block for December and reported on it in my WIPocalypse monthly report. I signed up for Crazy Quilt Challenge 2015 (bigger blocks next year --- so now I have to come up with some sort of theme).

I planned out and kitted my December Bead Journal piece (even though I haven't started beading the November one). Trying to decide whether I am Bead Journal Project-fatigued or not, and, therefore, whether I want to participate in 2015. What with Crazy Quilt Journal and Take a Stitch Tuesday, I suspect there are enough deadlines in my stitchery and so I should bow out but... if I do, it feels like quitting and I hate that! What to do...

Meanwhile, here is Christmas shopping to do (yes, I haven't really started so it will be online catalogs again this year), Christmas cards to address and mail, and the entire Christmas social whirl to avoid! Oh, do I need a vacation!
