Snowy Progress and What's Next

As many of you are aware, we east coasters were subjected to a huge snowstorm Christmas weekend.  We got over 14 inches of snow where I live.  It ended up being the third largest snowstorm on record!  That much snow cripples an area that is not used to getting more than about an inch or so per year. 

Of course, that enabled me to have a little bit of "numb butt" on Sunday and Monday.  Here's a peek at my snowed in accomplishments.....

40ct French Vanilla by R&R Reproductions
Belle Soie:  Sister Scarlett and Weathered Vine

Then, since the snow allowed me to have an early dismissal from work on Tuesday, I was able to start this......  Don't you just love that sheep?  I'm hoping to finish it up tonight.

Stitched with kitted supplies
As the year winds down I'm having a hard time finding things to stitch.  I've decided that I don't want to get involved in any major stitching projects since I'm going to be participating in the 2011 Crazy January Challenge.  Instead I'm just digging around in the stash and picking up smalls until the new year rolls around.  I guess that is one way to boost my finished count for the year!

Happy Stitching!

Jennifer that little sheep is adorable! Is his body stitched in french knots? Too cute!!

We got about 4 inches of snow where I live and it's all gone now. That is one reason why I moved from PA to KY. It's pretty when it's falling but I don't care for it much after that.

Your stitching is so beautifully done as always.
Happy New Year to you and yours.

They are all just precious. I knew all that snow would have some good results for someone! I, on the other hand, need no excuse to indulge in some "numb butt" time. LOL
