Updates

Hello! I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy.
I haven't had the chance to get in as many stitches before the end of the year, like I would have. but... hey there's always next year, lol.
I don't see anymore finishes for the year :(
I did pick up SB's "Baby Bug Ball" and had my own stitch-a-thon on Saturday and some on Sunday. Due to the 6" snowfall that was to be only a dusty, it was coming down so heavy, I was in heaven. The last few snowfalls have happen right after dusk, so you cant watch it. Anywho! here is my amazing progress

And I dont anticipate getting Birds of a Feather "A Joyous Christmas" done again for a second year.
I promise to set a goal to get it finished by Thanksgiving 2008.
I forgot to take a pic of And The Forest Grew progress and my tree. I guess I wasnt ready to post and wasnt really thinking of it. But wanted to update before the holiday, as this will be my last post until after Xmas.
The week after Xmas I plan to study And They Sinned and check my fabby and get it ready for the scroll, so when New Years Eve comes I will be ready.
I would also love to try a biscornu.
Are there any good freebie pattern's for a biscornu?? If you could direct me to, I would appreciate it.
We have so much to be Thankful this year, dispite a few bumps here and there, overall it was a great year for us.
I want to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and properous 2008.
Thank you so much for visiting, the comments and e-mails, have been more then I could have ever asked for. I have connected with so many wonderful stitchers. I hope to get in at least one exchange in 2008.
Please come back :)
Happy Stitching!!
Merry Christmas!!! my dear friends
Until next time....

I love baby bug ball, it is so cute and whimsical. There is a link on my blog for Chatelaine designs, they have some lovely biscornu freebie patterns.

Love all you've been stitching on! Take care and I'll e-mail a freebie I have that would be PERFECT to do as a biscornu!
Have a happy Holiday and I'll be back to check out your ATS the first of the year!

Both pieces are looking lovely, but Baby Bug Ball is my favorite. While they may not have gotten done this year, look at it as having a nice start on them for next year, that is how I'm looking at my WIP's. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
