Christmas Came Early

Someone's estate let loose at thrift a gaggle of vintage holiday needlekits. First day, I grabbed 6 kits, I returned a couple of days later and bought 8 more. This Dorothy and Friends should be right on trend with the Wizard of Oz related stuff. The kit is undated but I am guessing it is at least 25 years old. Post update - the kit sold within hours of being listed.

Now that the needle kits are listed, a Barbie clothes listing session is up next. 

On the eBay front, it is the first time I have had something listed that was pulled from sale. Supposedly, this Simplicity 8568 sewing pattern policy violation is against the "pillow rule." Pillows that may result in suffocation are banned. I appealed and noted it was a sewing pattern, not a pillow for sale. The "AI appeal" denied the request and I had to pull the pattern. Clearly, a human would recognize the difference.

Striking out on appeals - on the college front, I appealed to gain a priority registration date to sign up for classes rather than open enrollment but was denied. I filed a second appeal with the Los Rios Community College District. The district oversees the 4 individual colleges of SCC, ARC, FLC, and CRC. My hopes for taking an art class in the spring session are waning fast. 

Countdown to Christmas is two weeks away! This cutesie cross stitch Caleb's First Christmas came in the needlekit batch I just bought. Caleb would be 17 years old now. I wonder if he ever received this Christmas stocking?
