And not in the naughty way, cheeky monkey. I'm talking about my outfit and shoes. ;-)
It's actually been chilly here in Atlanta the past week or so, so I've been wearing one of my favorite scarves quite a bit. Actually, strike that. It's been cold. It was 18°F / -8°C when we left for work this morning. I am so glad I got a new winter coat!
I am so glad the hustle and bustle of the last 2 months is behind me. I am still so tired, though! It never occurred to me how much work it would be to put together a wedding, family reunion weekend and Christmas/Yule celebration all at the same time. But we got it done and I was even able to still make a few of my holiday gifts this year. The theme/project for this year was cross stitch.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures before I gave them away so all I have is the one I made for Andy.
It's his favorite quote from "The Departed" :)
I also made my Mom one that says "F*ck the dumb shit" but I'm not 100% convinced she liked it.
I am not one to make New year's resolutions but I've decided that instead of playing random games on my phone or tablet while we unwind in front of Netflix at night, I'm going to design and make some cross stitch pieces. That way I'm at least being kind of productive when I should be doing chores. :D
Also in the works for this year: opening an Etsy shop to sell my Bearly Dreadfuls. I don't have any left since they were all used as centerpieces for the wedding so I'll be working up a small inventory first.
Question for you: if you saw the Bearly Dreadfuls online, what price would you think is reasonable? I don't want to overprice them but I don't want to undersell, either. Each one takes about 2-3 hours to complete.
Hope you have a fabulous 2018! I know I plan to. :)

Ooh it sounds like such an exciting and a great a time. The crossstich sounds like an great idea.
ReplyDeleteThe cross stitch has been a nice break from technology and I am having a lot of fun with it. :)
DeleteLove the scarf and the long cat (also looks like a scarf)! Good luck with your plans!
ReplyDeleteShe does look like a scarf, doesn't she? LOL
DeleteI love those leggings! You look adorable. A most Happy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And to you as well! :)
DeleteOoh cute leggings. In my neck of thr woods -8c is mild lol
ReplyDeleteIt's -15°F/-26°C right now where I grew up so I keep reminding myself of how "mild" it is here. LOL
DeleteDid it snow in your neck of the woods?
ReplyDeleteWe lucked out and did not get any snow this time. Other areas were not so lucky, though.
DeleteWow that's cold for GA! ouch. I love snarky cross-stitch. No idea what you should charge though...see what people are charging on etsy?
ReplyDeleteCheeky cat! You look great! Love the embroidery!
