Yes, it is official. I am definitely the world's slowest stitcher!! At least that is what I feel like at the moment--LOL. I finally finished stitching on the birthday gift I have been talking about for so long this morning! I pressed it, and I am now working on stitching it together. After my last problems with the sewing machine, I am hand sewing this, and it is going to take me all afternoon at the rate I am going now! I am obviously not going to get my last ornament done and mailed off on time. I already let the recipient know. I hope to get it finished by Friday, though--so that will only be a few days late. I just found out today that the group I belong to that is for birthday exchanges (the gift I am currently working on), is going to disband this December. I am very sad, as it is such a fun group. I think the lady who has organized it is very busy, and I know with all the EzBoard problems I think she would rather not deal with it anymore. I can't blame her, as I certainly know what it is like to have lots of deadlines and outside pressures, but I have greatly enjoyed this group!
On a happier note, look what I received in the mail yesterday--a nice surprise. I owe Cecile a thank you email! She was my exchange partner in the redwork exchange--I made her a pinkeep. She sent this lovely floss as a thank you, which was very thoughtful!! It is Stranded By the Sea floss in "Flame Scallop". Isn't it lovely (well, the photo doesn't do it justice!). I have never used this before, so I will have some pretty red floss for my next project! Merci, Cecile!!!
Okay, off to sew!!!
