Yesterday’s news today! \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
That’s right, I’m running a day behind so far this week. Hey, at least tomorrow is the SBQ, so I don’t have to think of something to blog about!<\/p>\n
So, yesterday, in the mail, I had a nice package waiting for me. My receiving end of a trade for The Sweetheart Tree’s Vintner’s Sampler<\/a>. I’ve been looking at this limited edition kit off and on for a little while to do for Terry because he’s a wine buff. He’s even talking about ordering and planting specialty grape vines on our property to be able to make a couple of bottle of wines a year. So, I was very excited to be able to trade for it and stay on the wagon!!! We each sent out our packages on Friday, so I thought that it might take longer to get here, but I just had a really strong feeling that it would be here on Monday. And so it was!<\/p>\n As far as stitching goes, I have my exchange gift for the christmas ornament exchange on Stitching Blogger’s Exchanges<\/a> as my commuting piece and it’s going well. I should be able to finish it over the next two weeks, I think, which means I’ll be done far in advance of the deadline, thank goodness!<\/p>\n I’ve also been working on a baby sampler for friends, but I switched which design I was working on last week. The original one that I started just seemed to be going nowhere in a hurry, so I was going through my charts and found one that I had stitched a model for and had put up for trade. It is going much, much faster and might actually have a prayer of finishing it before we see the couple and meet the baby for the first time. I was so excited about it that I’m going to finish it as a pillow and even went out to WalMart last week with Terry and picked two beautiful fabrics for the pillow. This will be my first big pillow finish, so I’m a little nervous, but I have Summer Truswell’s Ultimate Big Book<\/a> of finishing techniques, so I’ll use her instructions for a flanged pillow. I’ll post a progress photo sometime this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday’s news today! \ud83d\ude06 That’s right, I’m running a day behind so far this week.
