Gosh, it’s exciting to be getting all of this work done, but it’s really boring to not be able to share with you! I completed stitching on the section of the model that I was hoping to do this morning and cut out the final section. I also finished the second Valentine’s Exchange gift. It was a successful experiment in several ways for me, as I tried to expand my finishing techniques by going with my gut instead of following instructions. I’m quite pleased with the results and hope that the recipient will be, too! Now, all I need are the appropriate goodies to put in and it’s ready to go out, more than a month ahead of schedule.
I need to brush up on how to do another finishing technique in order to finish my Garden Exchange gift, so that I can get it ready to go out, as well. My informal SAL for January (Hearts & Flowers Collection from Twisted Oaks Designs) is kitted up, on the scroll frame and ready to go.
I’m not up to date with blogs right now, but it’s going to have to wait because I have another headache. I’m going to stop stitching for the night, stop playing on the computer and concentrate on my husband and getting rid of my headache. 🙂
To all of my lovely, wonderful friends out there, have a very happy new year! I wish you a healthy, productive and incredible 2006! 😀 Hugs to all!
Sounds like you’ve been making wonderful progress with your stitching 🙂 Can’t wait until we can finally get a peek at these wonderful goodies 😉 Hope you managed to nip that headache in the bud before it escalated … and Happy New Year to you and Terry! 🙂
