Before I continue with today’s update, I did want to clarify something. Numbers 17 and 21 from yesterday have invisible fishing line hangers, so they are actually usable! \ud83d\ude06 Number 17 will go in the boat this spring and number 21 will presumably go on the Christmas tree next year. I haven’t taken the tree down yet (it’s on this week’s task list), so I hung it on the tree briefly today, snapped a picture and will send it to Tracy. It might even make it into one of her blog posts! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And now, on with the show (and tell).<\/p>\n

I’m going to sound very conceited here for a minute, but I love my finish of this one so<\/em><\/strong> much better than that of the (stuffed) model<\/a>!<\/p>\n 18. Acorn Nantucket Basket Topper by Lorri Birmingham \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Warning: another conceited moment coming. These two Nantucket basket toppers turned out awesome. For the two finishing projects that I was dreading the most, they turned out perfectly and I am very, very pleased with them. I wish I had more! Oh wait, I totally have more. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n Today’s 3 finishes take me up to a total of 9 finishes, with 5 more to come shortly. Getting close now!
