I should really say Faits Accomplis! I finished my mailart yesterday. I did the finishing touches about 9:30 last night! All I have left is to choose what stamps I will use. I always like to look at the U.S. Postal Service's website and see what pretty stamps will go with the design. It always takes me twice as long to do something than I originally plan (or I just set too high of goals!). But I am quite pleased with how it turned out, and I am glad I did not rush on it! Gina will probably fall over when she hears I am finally finished. She has been patiently waiting for me to send this and no doubt was despairing I would ever get it in the mail! :) I hope to get to the post office after work on Monday or Tuesday to mail it, along with the other two projects I am working on.
My other accomplishment is the sorting of all the floss that came with my Jingle Bells Christmas Tree Farm embellishment pack. This included quite a few different bead colors--what fun that was sorting them out--not! It took a while sitting by a sunny window on Thursday morning to get them all labelled correctly--I put them in little snack size ziploc bags (not too attractive, but it should work). I hope I matched everything up correctly. Apparently Thea, the designer, had several emails letting her know this was a bit of a chore, so she went into the list and added what lengths of each color came with the embellishment pack. That did help when two colors were similar. There are quite a few greens, so it was a challenge I had not been looking forward to! I hope to finally start it this week. Today and tomorrow will still be obligation stitching. I hope to read everyone's blogs again soon, and I owe some people emails--hopefull later today and this coming week I will get all caught up. As for today--I have errands to run, and leaves to rake along with my stitching, so I better go get to work!!!
