It's All About the Numbers

It seems that everywhere I turn my life is about numbers.  From the numbers that I put into each tax return, to the number of hours I spend at work, to the number of hours I actually get to spend with Hubby and the pup. 

Even though most of my hours are spent working right now, I finally managed Finish #5.  Here it is in all its glory........"The Counting House" by Little House Needleworks


I've decided that this piece will be perfect for the little one that we are longing to meet and it will grace the wall of his/her bedroom.  I see my two angels in the two sheep and I'm hoping that they will be able to guide our little one to us very soon.




I'm not sure what I'm going to start next, but I know that Finish #6 will need to be for an exchange, so don't be surprised if you don't see any stitching from me for awhile.  I have a March 15th deadline and it is fast approaching.

On another note, my number was picked and look what came in the mail on Wednesday!


I won Myra's giveaway and this cute little guy has come to live with me.  She is such an amazing woman......quilting, sewing, stitching, and maker of all things crafty!  I'm so honored that a little piece of her handmade love has come to live with me.  Thanks again Myra!

Well, time is ticking away and my only day off is coming to a close.  I'm hoping to get a few stitches in before I have to start dinner.

Have a great week!

Happy Stitches!
