Monday Update?

I guess I missed a Monday Update post didn't I? LOL We went out Christmas shopping the whole day yesterday so I missed updating. We went out last Friday shopping too and had wishful thinking of how much we would get done. Yeah right haha. We ended up just walking a lap of the mall and being stuck in traffic instead. Yesterday we did get a lot done finally. So anyway here is my Monday Tuesday update.

Last week we had a just all around crappy week. It didn't seem like we got anything done at all. We wanted to decorate for Christmas but the dust bunnies attacked and we realized it was time for a deep clean. So the decorations are still waiting impatiently to be put out. We did get our Christmas tree Saturday at a local tree farm. Here it is all decorated...
I also didn't get to pick up my stitching last week. Which I'm sure didn't help my stress level. So Sunday I unplugged from the world and forced myself to pick up my stitching again. I pulled out a DUCJC 2016 start that I hadn't worked on since...
 
This is called Snow Kisses from VeeandCo Designs. The picture right above this shows my Jan 11th progress. Here is where I got after the 2nd day of progress...
I think I'll keep this one out for a bit. It's really cold and we even had our first accumulating snow Sunday (only 2 inches) so a snowman seems like the right pick for right now. Here's hoping for a stress free week for everyone reading this.
