Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2009.

My younger DD is going back to school tomorrow after a 2-month break. She is going back to her new school campus which was under renovation/extension for 2 years.

I pick up my stitchings again after Christmas. Happy dances, I now have 2 finishes to show. I put the last stitch to Willie's Quaker Square #7 on 27th Dec. I am very pleased with my colour choice for this piece, it turned out beautifully. Started on my first project/goal for 2009, A Quaker Christmas. I have a hard time deciding on the colours but finally choose the basic colours of Christmas, ie , green, red and gold. Will post picture of progress soon.
The next finish is the Peppermint Lane. This is the piece I stitch for the LHN/CCN Winter SAL, my first CCN design. This design is beautiful and quick to stitch. Another first, I started on LHN Chocolate Box. It is almost finished, will post picture later.

If you have visited my blog earlier, you will have noticed that I stitched these 2 pieces a long time ago. I finally have them finished as bourses. I am very pleased with my first attempt at making them.

I am gathering fabby and threads to start my second project - the LK Flip It Blocks. My stitching is back on track, I find that it heals and ease painful memories.

Happy Stitching and take care!
