Every year at this time I have a break from work, and I always think I am going to accomplish so much--that I will have oodles of stitching time. However, every year that does not seem to be the case. Of course the problem is the holiday smack dab in the middle of things and family and friends and shopping--and loads of other distractions. I was thinking perhaps I could finish this design, but I don't think that is going to happen. I have stitched a little bit on it, though. I guess I will not try to rush at this point. When you start something in one year and finish it in another, which year do you stitch on the design? I do hope to put in a few stitches on my "Miss Valentine" tonight, which didn't happen last night. I had her out and ready to start, but my niece needed help with something and I never got back to it. Maybe tonight...
