Happy Wednesday
Last week I decided to try out a new-to-me Christmas movie, called The Shop Around the Corner.

It was made in 1940, and stars James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan. It's based on a play by a Hungarian playwright, and the story is set in Hungary. I loved it! It was funny, sweet, with great acting. All of the ingredients for a perfect Christmas Rom-Com! Here's a plot description from IMDB:
Two employees at a gift shop can barely stand each other, without realizing that they are falling in love through the post as each other's anonymous pen pal.
Oh, my Dear Friend, my heart was trembling as I walked into the post office, and there you were, lying in Box 237. I took you out of your envelope and read you, read you right there. - Klara Novak, The Shop Around the Corner
What's not to like?!?
Cross Stitch Corner
It turns out that when you listen to podcasts and cross stitch, you get a lot of cross stitching done! Here's my progress on Nikolai:

I started a new column, and finished the horse's nose. Nikolai's arm is looking good too. I've hit a few 10 x 10 squares of dark floss, but once I finish this column I can move back into the sky that has all those pretty shades of pink and pale blue.
After taking a look in my shop, I decided that it needed another birth sampler. Here's what the new design looks like so far:

Coming along nicely! I'm debating whether or not I should add a third empty box at the bottom. Stay tuned.
Odds & Ends
Want to stitch on something while you watch The Shop Around the Corner? Here's a freebie I designed:

You may not know it, but you really need to watch this video of a cat running through the snow. Here's the link to the video.
Happy stitching!
