Finished!!

Finished with stitching that is!!  I have really enjoyed working on this one.  Oh so many smyrnas!!  Luckily I enjoy this stitch.  I just need to press it and add the button to the moon, and I will be ready to sew it up!  I decided to use my first initial--"D" rather than my last, and I stitched the year I started stitching (Vero--I hope you don't mind I am using your idea!!).  I just couldn't think what else would be appropriate.  I learned to stitch in high school, but I just did those little kits with Aida fabric.  I stopped once I was at university--I was just too busy and there was no where here really to buy supplies.  When I started working at the library in 1997, one of my coworkers got me hooked on stitching on linen, and well, the rest is history!  I started stitching again seriously in 1998.  It is so nice to complete stitching on something!  I also worked a bit on my Sampler House exchange project.  I have had to switch around some colors as they were too close to the fabric color and just blended in way too much.  I have the next couple of days off from work, so my goal is to finish sewing a couple of projects.  Fingers crosssed.  Though I make no promises, I hope to be able to show something *completed* this week (meaning all done!).  Now I am off to work on one of my exchange projects!
