I hope all of my (US) readers had a tasty holiday....and hey, even if you don't live in the US, maybe you cooked a turkey anyway?? Ours was quite good! My in-laws arrived on Friday morning, so our feast was a bit delayed. But I cooked up a spinach-and-herb stuffed turkey breast, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and cranberry jell-o salad. DH had to work Thursday, but since the facility where he works cooks meals for all the residents and staff, he brought home candied sweet potatoes and a pumpkin pie. We were all thoroughly stuffed!
On Wednesday my package from Stitching Bits and Bobs arrived, and I was able to attach the last few beads to Just Nan's "Swan Lake." (After finishing it, I was kicking myself for ordering the beads...I could have substituted with something "close enough" from my stash, and no one would have known the difference. Oh well.)

I think I will finish this as a round ornament, perhaps something I can display in my office at work.
And, VERY late, here is my November TUSAL. With all the holiday preparations and such, I sort of forgot...
You see all that orange? Well, part of my "holiday preparation" involved realizing that the basket of pillows/smalls on my kitchen table had mostly Halloween-y things in it. So, rather than cleaning or soing any number of other more important things, I started stitching a piece made up of autumn leaves. And I didn't even finish it!! LOL

do find the shipping rates from stitching bits and bobs reasonable? and how about their service? i find their linens to be a bit on the pricey side however they do offer some great prices on their charts and threads but i have been hesitant to buy from them because their international shipping rates seem expensive.
your cranberry jello salad sounds interesting, i have never heard of jelly in a salad before.
Lovely finish! It sounds like you had a great holiday.
Gorgeous finish :D
The Just Nan is so lovely, congratulations!
