December.

Looks like December here in the Chicagoland area will start out with snow. We have some winter storm warnings in effect. I'm hoping the weather isn't too bad because we have people coming over tonight.

Mark and N. put up the tree last weekend, so I have some beaded ornaments to share with you this month. The first is this Santa ornament, made of cross stitch and beads. It's a Mill Hill kit that I did several years ago.

I'm feeling pretty good today. Still some tenderness, but so far I haven't needed to take any of my prescribed pain medication; just a little Advil. Yesterday was our 11-year wedding anniversary. I felt up to going out to lunch with Mark to celebrate. I had to take a nap when we got home, but still, I made it out into the world! It won't be long now...
