I have heard from my exchange partner and my package finally arrived in Singapore! Talk about cutting it close! Today is the last mail day before Christmas, and I really lucked out as my ornaments were finally delivered! Here is what I stitched--two little ornaments from the Prairie Schooler chart Christmas Day. Although I had some problems attaching the cording, I was fairly pleased with how they turned out. My favorite is the little snowman and I wouldn't mind stitching him for myself sometime.
At this point I guess I am not going to get any Christmas stitching done for myself. I haven't really been able to stitch much at all this week. I have been trying to finish my Christmas shopping, do lots of wrapping, standing in line at the post office, and making a few cookies--the usual busy sorts of things that go on at this time of year. I have worked a tad bit on "Quaker Garden" by Blackbird Designs. I guess that will be my vacation project as I am off work until January 2. I would also like to finally finish my Just Nan needlecase (the dragonfly one I stitched in the summer), and maybe try and finish those little Prairie Schooler ornaments that I started earlier this year. I am only going to finish the ones that I actually have partially stitched. I am going to be missing some months, but that's okay. No monthly projects for me next year. I think I am not going to set any other goals at the moment or I will end up not getting anything accomplished at all. It seems to be a trend that I am stitching less these days, so I need to think carefully about what I want to stitch so it is not time wasted. I hate to have yet more bins of half finished projects!
