And Four More…

I know, you’re probably getting sick of these, but I’m nearing the end now. I have three more flat shapes being pressed under the books right now, with the cording made up and ready to go. Then I have one stuffed tree that needs a “trunk” and a container before I can stitch it closed. And finally, I have my Sweetheart Tree bellpull ready to finish, as the brass bellpull hardware arrived yesterday.

Finished this weekend, though were Love… Was Born at Christmas by Forget-Me-Nots in Stitches and Pansy Ornament by Amaryllis Artworks, both from the 2004 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue:

and Cardinal Snowflake by Victoria Sampler and Love Heart Ornament by Charland Designs, also both from the 2004 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue:

I even managed to be headache-free long enough this weekend to do some model stitching. Yes, I’m still having them daily, but they seem to be a bit less painful. I also had some crying jags, so I think I’m finally starting to let out all of the stress that I’ve been under. I’ve knocked out all but one gift on my Christmas shopping list, we’re starting to decorate and once I get the remainder of the ornaments finished up this week, I’ll be able to put everything away and see the floor of my craft room again! I’ve even started planning my Christmas cookies, so things are getting back on track. 😀
