Sorry I've been M.I.A. lately. The girls have been sick since mid-December. It's not been fun, but they seem to be on the mend finally.
I thought I'd give you a brief recap of what I did manage to work on this year, along with an idea of what's in my stash bag for next year.
I finished two teapots in March, a rose in August, the swirlygig challenge in September, and the pumpkin for October. In November, I worked on my nephew's birth sampler. I've been working on it some more this month and am nearly finished now. Picture soon.
In December, I stitched Casey Buonaugurio's Hot Cocoa sampler for a dear, dear friend. I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her, but I'll post it when I get one.
For 2010, I would really like to finish my three remaining Bride's Tree SAL ornaments: pinecones, angel, and Santa. I've started all three. The first two are very intricate and require a lot of concentration, something I don't have much of these days. The Santa is a Mill Hill kit of a cat in a Santa hat, and I'm not eager to work on the beads. So, I will need to push myself on these.
I also have the idea that I want to stitch second versions of my BTSAL bunny and cardinal in different colors. I've started the bunny, so there's a good chance I'll finish that. Maybe I'll try to get that done before Easter!
I will soon finish the sampler I'm currently working on for my oldest nephew. I also hope to work on samplers for my middle nephew (the last of the niephlets for whom I need to do one) and for my daughters.
We'll see how much time I have to work on any of this. Now that my girls are two very active toddlers, my stitching time is nearly non-existent.
