In the past 2 months since I last blogged I've completed 5 tiny cross-stitched Christmas stockings, 1 cross-stitched Easter egg, 1 handanger ornament, 1 big quilt, 1 small Christmas wall-hanging and 2 pillows. I don't have pictures of everything yet, in fact, I gave away 5 of the stockings and both ornaments and forgot to take ANY pictures. 8( Here's one stocking I did manage to photograph: (Note: all the stockings and ornaments are part of my personal Craft Book Challenge.)
Real life seriously kicked my butt since Grandma Vivian's party. Work was very hectic. Plus, we spent a week in Green Bay at Thanksgiving, I hosted the Christmas Bee party, two of my Blanketeers retired with two separate parties, and we presented the Quilt of Valor to a very deserving Green Beret. CRAZY! Fortunately, after Christmas in Shreveport, I had two LOVELY weeks off to stitch. Heaven!
More posts are coming as I gather the pictures. I've missed you guys, but I'm back now! 8)
I haven't posted in a long time, but I haven't been slack either. I finished "Apple Kissed Autumn" by Shepherd's Bush, in time for Grandma's 100th birthday next month. I'm so pleased how it turned out, and I know Grandma will love it too.
This cross stitch kit has gone on so many trips it's too bad it couldn't collect frequent flier miles. Las Vegas, Canada, Phoenix, New York, Wisconsin, San Antonio, Colorado, Houston; it's been everywhere! It was my favorite go-to kit, and routinely got packed every trip just in case I felt like stitching. I finally started it in Phoenix last year, made a mistake, ripped it out, then put it away until our trip to Canada last month. I finished it October 1st, just missing the September OPAM cut-off.
