After this weekend I'm more than just one step closer to my goals for November and December. Woo-Hoo!
I finally made a finish of LHN's
December and it should be on its way (along with
September,
October and
November) to my dear friend Sharon. Now her set of models for the Monthlies will be complete. Whew!

This finish gave me ample opportunity to work on some other stitchy projects around the house. I was able to frame my memory/memorial sampler and I'm so very pleased with how it turned out. I took a picture of it last night under the Ott light, but it didn't turn out. I guess I'll just have to wait for the light of day instead.
I also took some time to stitch on one of my Blackbird Designs works in progress. Remember the Keepsake Box from the 2008 Shepherd's Bush Retreat? Well, with just a little stitch time during the late Sunday night Giants/Eagles football game I managed to turn my work into this:
Now all I have left is a little bit of fill in on a couple of the flowers, the flower pot and my initials. I figured that I deserved to reward myself with a little bit of "off goal" stitching since I've been good at keeping my goals so far. Plus, not only did I finish December, but I finished stitching my Blackbird Designs Exchange piece! I think that deserved a reward, don't you?
So, here's my piece for the exchange:

HA, HA! FOOLED YA! You don't think I was going to show it before my recipient got to see it, did you? I
couldn't do that! I'm pretty sure that this person reads my blog. Plus, her initial is on it and that would have given it away. So, instead, I'm just going to show you a few of my supplies for the piece instead. I plan on "finishing" it up this week so that it will be in the mail for our November 30th deadline.
I guess that means that I will have to start stitching on all of those ornaments this week. Wish me luck!
Happy Stitching!
