Shorty

Good morning, my friends. This will be a quick post today since yesterday's comings and goings were pretty dull. Of course, I did my morning's slow stitching. This is Tiny Treasure #34. It has French knots, stem stitch, straight stitch, and lazy daisies.

And that was all the sewing I did yesterday. The rest of the day was spent putting sheets on the bed in the RV, doing a little laundry, finishing up one last housekeeping chore, and making a beef stew. When all that was finished, I took some time to write my "Best of" post for the "Best of 2025" linky party coming up on Friday. Originally, I'd planned to do that today, but now it's ready to go. It means I'll have more time for other things today.

On today's list of to-do's, I'm going to do a little cooking and baking. I'll be making Divinity...aptly named, in my opinion. It's one of my favorite Christmas candies. Also, I'm going to bake some Cranberry-orange Bread With Grand Marnier Glaze. The recipe originally appeared in Sunset magazine more years ago than I care to think about. I tried doing a search to find when it was first published in the magazine. The earliest date I could find said 2011, but I know I've been making it for decades longer than that. Anyway...that's what's on today's list. I expect I'll finish both by early afternoon, which will leave me some time in the day for something else. I might pack up my sewing stuff today. We'll see how much energy I have left after I finish in the kitchen.

Okay, so that's all I have for you today. How are your holiday preparations going?
