WE DO NOT CARE that our covid shot appt. turned into the flu shot instead due to a supply snafu. They'll call when they get more. Or that we rebooked labs to free up some me time this week. AND WE EXTRA DO NOT CARE that we are soooo behind on ARC reads right now. the tagged is one of them.

Tis finished! 😎👍
Measuring in at 54 inches. Found my yarn needle, finally, so that tail she is invisible. #crafting #craftersoflitsy
I also want to remind everyone this is a budget friendly swap (you signed up for what you could send not what you will receive). #yuleseasonswap
PS I have been tweaking and adjusting the form so that it will be much clearer if there is a next time.
Today's the day! all items for #yuleseasonswap should be on their way! If I haven't seen you post yet I will tag you here.

Also on my list are:
11. Nettle
12. Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired
13. The Bear and the Nightingale
14. The Island of Excess Love
15. Ethan Frome
16. Marked/Betrayed
17-24. Wildcard slots
#CastTheDie

These are what I'm aiming to read this month. the tagged because it was already on the go. Hot wax is on position 10 of my list. i will get a list post together ASAP! #castthedie @PuddleJumper
My goal is to actually start reading through this author's catalogue starting with the one received for jolabokaflod years ago.
The scarf for my mom is almost done. just over 40 inches now. Aiming for 60 total. #litsycrafters #craftersoflitsy #crafting
#SnowyDecemberReadathon @LiseWorks
Count me in. I will be reading Of Jade and Dragons by Amber Chen. If I finish it soon enough I will start the tagged.
Just one week remaining to mail off those cards/packages! To those of you that have already posted sending, thank you. To those that havent, gentle nudge to make your post and tag the swap and me when you have sent. #yuleseasonswap
If y'all could hear how loud the rain is right now! So happy to be cozy and soon to be warm as soon as my heater catches up!

How's everybody's shopping going? Reminder to get everything in the mail by December 1. #yuleseasonswap
#TTT @dabbe
Got 60% on the quiz.
See comment for write up on Black Christmas. I did not get this one having never seen it.
that'll teach me to order things online at night! accidentally ordered from .com instead of .ca. at least they offered ability to charge it in my currency, we'll see how it goes.
Enjoying this so far. One part autobiography and one part educational tome.

Working on a scarf for my mom. #crafting #craftersoflitsy

Put my ostrich fern in the back yard finally. Had to wait until I felt better. Who knew one little bitty excision would hurt that much just because it's on my head!

Matches have been sent! check your emails and wing me a response acknowledging receiving them 😁

See original posts or Litsy Events for link.
I've been researching the alternatives to the USPS/Canada Post connections in case the rotating strikes aren't concluded by the shipping date for #yuleseasonswap and #swaps in general. if you have an Amazon prime account you can send items to other people too. if it's prime eligible the shipping stays free. Of course there are also FedEx and UPS which charge the same rate for their lightest parcel class as they do for a card. Both offer flat rate.

The tagged is ready for me at the library.
I finished my first face cloth.
I figured out my sister's birthday present.
I'm cosy inside as the last of the typhoon cause massive raining.
Puppies and kittens exist, even if I don't have any.

In light of recent issues with my other swap from here on out it will be a requirement that participants for both #autumncomfortswap and #yuleseasonswap get tracking for what they send. I have added this to the forms for both.

Posting early as tomorrow will be busy. Happy thanksgiving to all who observe. Happy Sunday/Monday to those who don't.
Went to the local indie pumpkin patch today came home with 8 pumpkins and two ornamental corn for 20 bucks. Lots of carving fodder. 😁
Canada Post's union has announced a scale back to rotating strikes. This will allow mail to move again but it will likely still experience delays. #litsyswaps #canada #mailstrike

I can't continue with this one the writing is driving me nuts. Who even calls a travel mug a go cup.

#crafting #craftersoflitsy #litsycrafters Two thirds of the way done with cloth number one! 16 rows done 8 more to go. Then I can test wash.
I have so many books on hold right now it's not even funny! Somewhere between 8-11 titles including the tagged.
Rest in Paradise. Dr. Jane Goodall has died while doing a speaking tour in America. It is reported as natural causes by her publicist. I'm actually relieved that she won't have to witness what is to come. And quite sure natural causes were exacerbated by current events. She was 91.

#yuleseasonswap sign ups are live and will run from October 1st through 25th. This is mainly a budget friendly card swap with the choice to send more if you so wish. Please read all the swap details at the link before filling out a sign up sheet. Open internationally.
