I'm also in the thros of stitching "Tis the Season" (another Blackbird) for my friend Peg. It was her Christmas gift but I didn't think of stitching it for her until it was too late to do so. So I'm trying to get it finished up very quickly. Nothing like giving a person some linen and thread and then saying, "Okay, give it back now!" which is exactly what I did! I'm sure she was thinking, "Hey, what the what?" Actually she was probably relieved that I wasn't going to make her stitch it! HA! I am making great progress on this one and love stitching with Belle Soie silk!
I have a list of WIPs (works in progress) that I'd like to finish this year if at all possible. That will be my next post in a few days.
The sun is shining here in Utah and I'm enjoying it, although the temperature right now at 10:30 a.m. is only 28. I'm holed up in my office with an electric heater and a heating pad on the floor to keep my piggy toes warm! Have a lovely day!
