I told everyone that would listen this past weekend that I didn't have time to work, I needed to be stitching. No one listened and I came to work this week like always. What a dud!

WIP & A Finish

I finally was able to make some progress on the Heritage Sampler and hope to work on it some more this month. I'm sure not keeping up with the parts being released every month but that's ok since this one is for me to keep.

With January came the extreme cold for our area for about 2 weeks which included 2 3-day weekends. It's amazing how much I can stitch when it is too cold and the roads are too bad to go anywhere and reruns of NCIS and Bones are on TV.

Works In Progress

With the ending of racing season on Nov 21 I'm trying to get organized with my big stitching projects since I should have more time to stitch until we start racing again in March. I have decided to make a start with these 3 from my WIP file drawer that I would like to get finished.

Hopefully at least one of these will get done this winter and I can take something else out of the WIP drawer. Of course, Jennifer would prefer The Snow Leopard being first since it is being stitched for her. haha
