#Mist Near The #Ocean, #Crafting, And Cushion Repair

It seems we've had several misty mornings and evenings recently. Kelly took the photos at the top of this post on November 16th. We've had plenty of frosty mornings and evenings too. Not to mention, the temperature has spent a lot of time not all that far above freezing. Still no snow though. Plenty of rain and wind. Even some hail. But no snow. At least, not in my area, though some parts of the UK have had some. If any of you who have been getting snow want to send some over to my place, please feel free to do so. Send as much as you like.

I forgot to mention that my November SewMine box arrived on my birthday. I'm certain they didn't plan that on purpose, but it was kind of cool that it happened. Anyway, November's kit is an owl sewing kit. I have an owl sewing kit I brought elsewhere too, but they're different. Not that I'd mind if they were the same, since I like owls anyhow. But I'm glad they're different.

My November box from Makerly arrived a few days later, which I also forgot to mention, even though it arrived during my birthday week (it arrived shortly before we were heading out on the Friday, so that was well timed). This month's kit for that is a robin needle felt kit. I'm going to work on that one once I've finished the Christmas mouse I'm currently working on, since I think it will be a nice addition to my Christmas decorations when it's done. I'm hoping to have it done by Christmas, but we'll see what actually ends up happening.

The Christmas mouse is coming along nicely, but not quite finished yet. The mouse himself is made. I'm just working on his outfit. There's a good chance he'll be finished in time for me to post a photo of him next week though. But don't hold me to that, just in case. There's a good chance, but I'm not making any promises.

There's progress with the table runner too. Just slower than planned, because of Kelly and I working on it together, and us both having other things we're working on. Luckily, we've got about 11 months before Halloween rolls around again. *wink*

Oh, and I ended up taking a bit of a break from doing the kits to mend a cushion cover. One of my Westie cushion covers, which are on the cushions that are on my chair in the livingroom, got a bit torn. I think Lilie caught it with her claws accidentally when she was playing. Probably one of the times she threw a bit of rawhide and it went down between the cushions, and she had to get it out. At least, it didn't look like her intentional chewing usually looks, so I'm pretty sure it was accidentally. I hope it was. Anyway, I fixed it, and it's luckily not in a place where it's obvious. Plus, people shouldn't be inspecting my cushions for darned places anyhow, and if they spot them should be glad I chose to repair it rather than throw it away. After all, you should always reuse, recycle, or repair, unless you really can't for some reason.

The only other thing I can think of that happened recently was two of the three birthday movies I'm owed showing up a couple of days ago. They were "Incredibles 2" and "Sherlock Gnomes" - just in case you're interested. There's one more to come, which probably won't be here for a couple of weeks yet, since I believe the official release date is December 10th. Oh, and I started Christmas shopping yesterday.
