Non-Photo Finish

My holiday vacation time indulgence this year was the limited edition kit Vintner’s Sampler by The Sweetheart Tree. I started it a few days before Christmas, but it just sat on the stand while we had company. All in all, it took less than a week to stitch and I put the beads and other embellishments on late last night, with my initials and the year going on this morning.

We’re visiting Terry’s dad and his fiancee for a couple of days over New Year’s, so you are just going to have to wait until we get home for a photo. Maybe Tuesday. 🙂

Unfortunately, I’m still sick. It’s really lingering and has been nearly two weeks now, so I think it’s going to be a visit to the doctor for me after the new year. I’m hoping that it’s something simple, since it’s not terrible, just a sore throat and cough continuining off and on, plus the seeming need for more sleep. We’ll see what they have to say about it if I’m not better by the time I’m supposed to go back to work on Wednesday.

I’m really happy to have one more finish before the end of the year, though. It turned out beautifully and I’ll be stitching it again sometime for Terry’s dad because he really liked it. I just need to buy more paillettes and another charm for it. Plus, I would like to do a few things in between so that I can enjoy stitching the design again.

We’ll be going out for dinner tonight and then to friends of Terry’s dad. I wish each of you safe and sober New Year’s celebrations! I’ll see you in the 2007!
