Didn't make 100 books this year. Maybe next year. Total pages 31,657

I worked on Freight Train this past week. Didn't get much done but some progress is better than nothing.

My DD is home for the holidays. All of the shopping is done. I am as ready as I am gonna be. But the tree is still not up.

Saturday evening I finished up Happy Girl. I really enjoyed stitching this one with all of the bright colors. I did use Florescent Light Effects floss which took a while getting used to. I also had to use 3 strands of DMC. I did make some changes and left off the wings and the outline hearts. This is my 3rd and last finish for 2010.

We will be putting up the Christmas tree next weekend. While my stitching chair is gone, I will be kitting up projects to fill this spot in my rotation. I think I will pick some small and medium ones.

I took a picture of my Ort container. I will be emptying it out and starting over.

Winter is here. Tempatures this week will be cold. High in the 20's with lows single digits. This starts my guilt free stitching. Too cold to be outside so what else can I do but stitch. :)

I started a new project on 11/28/10 to fill the slot in my rotation left when I finished Abecdaire. It is Stencil Alphabet from Cross Country Stitching Spring 2000. I am stitching it on 14ct antique white. I got alot done this week as I was off Monday and Friday. This one has been in my to do pile for a long time. I think the green colors attracted me.

I have decided that this year when I loose my stitching chair to the Christmas Tree, I am going to kit up projects to start. I am going to try to add some small and medium ones to hopefully get more finishes in next year. I have 2 in my rotation now that will probably take another year to finish.
