I spent yesterday and today finishing up Chilly`s Gift by Stitchy Kitty.   I really enjoyed stitching this one and really love how it turned out.

I was inspired to stitch this penguin after finding out on Christmas Day that one of my nieces loves penguins. (She told me a sweet story about how her and her SO found a Penguin Nutcracker at Michaels with a missing wing and that they bought it and her SO whittled a new wing for it.)  I came home and looked for all the penquin charts I had and this one was on top of my TO DO list.

I wanted to wish you all the very best in the New Year.   Thank also for stopping by and leaving a comment when you could.  It has been enjoyable year and I am looking to the next one.

I am off now to work on my Oldest UFO - Peacock Tapestry by Teresa Wentzler.  I am also going to work on my WIPocalypse 2012 list where the Peacock Tapestry will be at the top. I am bound and determined to get this one finish in 2012. Wish me luck.

I am also going to kit up my January piece for Theme-a-licous 2012.  I won`t be naming the piece or showing any pictures as it is a chart that I am stitching for the Stitched With Love Exchanges new exchange - Love and Friendship Exchange. I have another floral piece (that is also a WIP) that I will pull it out if time permits - Castles in the Air - Papillon Creations

My Day One Start for the Crazy January Challenge 2012 will be LHN`s Home of the Needleworker (too)!

Well, I think I have babbled on enough now.  Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!

We went out this afternoon to visit my MIL. She is still in the rehab hospital (she was thankfully able to come out on Christmas Day to spend time with the family and to eat a decent meal). She has been in the hospital for seven weeks now.

I love Boxing Day. After all the activity on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day it is nice to have a day at home to do whatever I wanted to do. I don't particularly care for shopping so I am not one to take part in the numerous Boxing Day sales. We did go first thing this morning to Michaels however. My DH paints and Michaels have their canvases 60% off and with an additional 25% off on the total purchase he was able to buy 3 good size canvases for under $35.00. (That was too good of a deal to pass up). I bought some yarn for stitching dishcloths and few little items for giveaways and exchanges. After that we out for breakfast at Smitty's and then back home. I spent the rest of day stitching.

I finishing the stitching on the "Believe Tree" ornament and just need to add the beads and the star. I then pulled another M Design word tree ornament to work on - Imagine. One of my neices really loves these trees. Everytime I stitch one these she grabs it. She already announce to her siblings that she has dibs on the Believe Tree.

(By the way, for those that are curious, the thread I used for this is Weeks Dyeworks - Noel.)

All the best of the season to you all!!!!
