So I promise to try to do better. On the stitching front I had a major accident with Frosty friends with a spill that could not be corrected so had to through in the towel. Even though I enjoyed doing it I don't think I will restart it. I made a bday present for the DIL but think I will wait to post once I have it finished. So now back to stitching on the birth sampler for the lil man. Even though yesterday we celebrated his 1st Birthday...<br />

I guess that is all I can say about not posting for so long. I do enjoy reading so many of your blogs now I need to get sharing more. At least I have been stitching and crocheting. Mostly crocheting and a knitting project for this lil man..<br />

It isn't as bad as I thought it would be with the color changes. I am really pleased as to the way it is turning out. It will look really cute in the lil man's deer themed room. I don't know why I didn't get going on it earlier. Oh I know why it seems like every time I was ready to start it the DD or DDinlaw had a project they wanted me to do for them;).<br />
Yesterday I thought it was time to get my DD and DSinlaw housewarming project finished up…<br />

I was pleased with the results. It was my first time trying a little quilted wall hanging. I guess I just need to get over the fear of finishing and jump in and try.<br />

Sorry for the no post last week. I had planned on it but couldn't get the pictures to upload and then the week was gone. I started a new job in September and this was my first year end close. Since the 2nd(minus the snow day) I have been working since 7am till about 8pm and then the first two Saturdays. Leaving work at 6:45 last Friday and not having to go in yesterday was such a blessing. So the worst is behind just a few more loose ends then back to normal. Hopefully with the stitching time as well. I just finished the first square to Frosty Friends….<br />

Counting my stitches and the days till next Saturday when I get to see this lil angel…<br />

At least I received a call that our office is closed today yesterday evening so that means it is a stitching day for me. Sure will be long days the rest of the week though with year end. <br />
I was able to get started on my Forest Friend..<br />

It sure was fun to stitch. Now to wait for the sunflower fabric I ordered to make it into a little wall hanging. Just in time since the big move was yesterday despite the several inches of snow that had fallen :0.<br />
Now on to the the next project tune in next time to seed what I will be starting.<br />
Until next time<br />

We didn't do much celebrating last night it was snowing and today we will be helping the DD and DSIL move. The truck is all loaded at the old place so just meeting them at the new to unload. Hopefully no more snow till after to hinder the process.<br />
So any resolutions for the new year? I think mine is to get organized especially with the stash! I have all ready got my ideas in place now to follow through. <br />
My Sunflower Home is coming along and hope to have it finished this week.<br />

It is a fun stitch. Hopefully I will get it done sometime in the next week. The DD and DSIL are moving on New Years's I know it won't be complete by then but hopefully soon after.<br />
This past September I got a new job from what I am hearing the next few weeks are really busy with year end I pray that I still have some time to put a few stitches in each evening.<br />
Until next time,<br />
May you be blessed with stitches,<br />
