Almost the end of the year!

 My stitching has been rather hit or miss this year.  I guess being the director of the on-base homeschool group has taken up more of my time than I thought!

This is the progress I have made on Mill Hill Gingerbread House.  I have been working on this pattern all month.  I think I will put it away for a while.  

I have to decide what I am going to work on for 2012.  Maybe a stash only year?  Not sure yet. Of course it wouldn't really be a stash-only year, since Mom buys me stuff!  Also, I am thinking about going on a retreat with Mom next summer, so I would _have_ to buy stuff there....

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  I will be more consistent with stitching and blogging in 2012.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Current WIP

This is my newest project, Paisley Pumpkin, by Mill Hill. 

I started stitching it on November 7, 2011.  

Here is what it looked like after a few days of stitching.

I have been rotating 3 needles through it, threading all three, 

using them up, then threading them again.  This is how it looked on Sunday.

I think I am going to rotate to a different pattern this week.

Finish 14: Snowflake Tree

This was a UFO hold-over from last year.  The only thing I needed to finish was the green seed beads.  I took care of that tonight while Hubby was reading the bedtime story.

Snowflake Tree, 

from the Mill Hill Festival of Trees series, charmed ornaments,

completed March 20, 2011

stitched on perforated paper, 

using DMC colors white, 796, 938, 3345, 3346, and 3347.

A Late Update

Well, things have been pretty busy getting ready for our move.  We also made another trip to the Big Island a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't had much stitching news.  

First, I started one of the Mill Hill Christmas ornaments while on the Big Island.  It is coming along pretty nicely.

I also started a small project called Nightie Night by Twisted Threads.  It is going to be for my brother and sister-in-law's twins, expected sometime in November.  

I will probably not have an update on here until after we move and get settled.  Talk to you then!
