Many thanks to Jennifer (sorry--I can't find your email adress). She sent me this lovely Christmas ornament as a thank you for loaning her a chart. It is probably the only one I'll be getting this year as I didn't join any ornament exchanges like I usually do. She also sent along a card and holiday post-it notes, which always come in handy. It was a very nice surprise and totally unexpected and very much appreciated. Again--thanks very much, Jennifer! (And her finishing is absolutely perfect by the way!).
Finally here is a photo of my finished "Thankful Sheep". I am still trying to figure out how to best take a photo that doesn't have a glare to it, but I am still not satisfied with the results. I am always so impressed by how nicely other stitchers manage to photograph their work, but I am not sure how they do it. Maybe they have better cameras that take better up-close shots? In any case, this will give you an idea of what it looks like. I have pulled out "Fa La La Sheep", but I have not yet started stitching on him.
I think I am going to make a New Year's resolution to try and post at least three times a week in the new year. I have been pretty hit or miss this year and I hate not being able to keep up. I have also noticed many new stitching blogs--and thanks very much to those who have added me to your blog roll. If you have done so, and I have not reciprocated, please leave me a comment and I will add you to my blog roll and add you to my bloglines account as well, so I can keep up with your posts. I have not been keeping up with a lot of things this year!
