Christmas Prep

I was given a mental health assignment by my doctor this week: Do some cross-stitch while listening to an audiobook.

Well ... if I have to! I started stitching up some penguins for a Christmas pillow cover. It's going well and my nerves are definitely less jangled.

The pattern is from Stoney Creek's leaflet, Nature's Best for the Bath. I'll be stitching only three of the penguins. I changed the color of one scarf from yellow to green to make it more Christmassy.

The audiobook I'm listening to is the new memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, All the Way to the River. Worthy.

p.s. I named this post "Christmas Prep" with the express purpose of irritating people who get jacked up about talking about Christmas in the middle of September.
