Oh my gosh I just realized I didn't give the birds their legs! Ooops! I'll have to go back and stitch those before I forget again. :-)
I plan to make this into a cushion to display for the holidays next year. It might be difficult to find just the right backing fabric now, but I'll be on the lookout. Maybe I'll have to go shopping in my mom's fabric stash.
Thanks for visiting!
Next is Preamble Sampler. I'm don't know what's holding me up on this one, other than I really don't like to stitch words. It's really beautiful though and I'm hoping to get this one finished in 2009.
Last is Mere Noel. I started this one last week and I love it. I'm out of 221 (actually my mom is because I borrowed what you see from her). Bill is going to pick up some for me today when he goes out so this one should be finished before too long.
On that note - Bill said he would stop and get my floss for me if my list wouldn't embarrass him. I asked him how I could possibly embarrass him at JoAnn's and he said by having him pick up only 3 skeins of floss. !!! I really only need one, but now I'll have to create a bigger list so he won't be embarrassed. Yay!
Cheese enjoyed his presents and spent most of the day with his new Nintendo DS.
The best part about Christmas was that my whole family was together. For reasons I won't get into, our relationship with my niece and nephews has been fragile over the last few years. Things have improved and all three of them were able to join us for Christmas dinner. I sincerely hope this is the first step toward mending the ties between us. I've missed them terribly and I've vowed to do my part in keeping in touch with them.
The day after Christmas I didn't feel too well. I thought it was just a cold, but it turned into something more. I've been on the couch all week trying not to cough. I did go to the doctor on Monday, but I think I'm allergic to the antibiotics he gave me. I had huge plans to finish Cheese's bedroom this week, but I've done absolutely nothing. I'm still coughing quite a bit and if it doesn't slow down by Monday, I'll go back to the doc.
I have been stitching in between coughing spells and naps. I'm hoping to do more today and tomorrow before I share a pciture.
I'll leave you with two pictures of the cats. Shadow crawled in this bag and stuck his head through the handle. It's a cute picture and I did get him out and put the bag away before he got himself caught in there. Libby was enjoying the festivities, waiting for a stray piece of ribbon or a bow to play with.
Thanks for stopping by!
