I know I haven’t posted much stitchy stuff lately, but y’all have to know by now that this model stitching project has taken over my stitching life. However, I am nearing the finish line with it and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hallelujah! 😀
In the meantime, I did a quick finish of a little ditty that I stitched last year and sent it off to a surprise recipient this morning. I neglected to take any pics before sealing it up, but I wouldn’t be able to post them, even if I had, so there’s plenty of time and maybe the recipient will be so kind as to take some and send them to me.
I also finished my ornament for the Christmas Ornament Exchange on the SBEBB. Woot! I haven’t taken a pic yet, but again it’s something I can’t show you yet anyway, so there. 😛
Finally, in anticipation of completing my model stitching project by the end of the month and being able to start something NEW, I have unpacked my Christmas Hearts kit from Victoria Sampler, sorted the threads and ironed the fabric, all in anticipation of starting it as part of a SAL on November 1st. And seeing how I can’t work on the models while I have company and I cannot possibly refrain from stitching any longer, having not stitched in days, I think I’m going to start working on the ornament in the kit to give me something to do. Of course, I’ll have to wait until I either have better light or I get my stitching corner back from my mom! 😉
I am SOOOOOO looking forward to getting to do some stitching for me for a change!
Congrats on getting the model project almost finished – that will be a big weight off your shoulders … then enjoy your personal stitching time – you’ve earned it 🙂 Also, if I don’t remember to post tomorrow (‘cos I’m working), HAVE A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
Count the ‘happies’ not the years! Have a great birthday.
You are such an enabler. My LNS has Strawberries so Faire set aside for me (they are sweethearts) AND they tell me there is black linen in stock. Next time I visit them, I’m going to buy a small piece of black linen for ‘trial’ before getting a big cut. My eyes are much OLDER than yours!
And a challenge, too! You really want to see my stash stuff on my blog? I don’t think it will have much interest — but, will tackle that on Monday. I swear I don’t own much. But, must rise to a challenge.
Enjoy your company — have a fabulous week-end. I have a ton of household crap to do & the boys want to watch the White Sox on tv.
My secret ditty didn’t make the post — will mail on Monday. Some detail s didn’t look quite right last night … so, will figure out the mistake, frog, & finish stitching tonight — finishing tomorrow, mail on Monday.
Since I probably won’t be online tomorrow – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you get oodles of stitching time and stash for yourself!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNA! 😀
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Great for you on stitching for yourself. That Christmas Hearts kit is so gorgeous!
