Remember last week how I had said I was hoping to finish the cross stitching on Fortunate Treaveller's border? Murphy's Law came for a nice, long visit. Initially I had a quiet weekend planned, just a baby shower to pop into. Lots of stitching time right? Well I was pretty run down by the latter half of last week, so Thursday and Friday night were both nights where I sat and played mindless games on my iPad and went to bed early. I didn't touch my stitching. My quiet weekend turned into being out and about with my friend Christin Friday night, Saturday I went to that baby shower for about an hour, then drove to Montreal (2hrs each way) for a birthday party, spent the night, drove back at lunchtime Sunday, picked up my friend Claire visiting from out of town, spent a few hours teaching her finishing techniques then took her back into the city in time for dinner. I felt like I never had a weekend! I had also taken Monday off of work to spend with Claire and her son who were visiting from out of town. Today I was off sick with a bad headache and sore throat... totally run down. Surprised? Me either.
After last week's Wednesday post, I didn't pick my stitching back up until Monday night. Really that was just a token effort to stitch, not much got done. I finally really got some stitching done last night!

I decided working on a TW wasn't a good idea with how I was feeling so I pulled out the Jingles ornament I started last week. I managed it to finish it last night as well.

They are so cute, your little finishes. And I hope you are feeling a lot better by now.
Two great finishes, Dani - the second one is so pretty.
I hope things slow down for you, Dani--I am feeling the same way right about now... I love your finishes--so tiny and cute :)
wow, it has been a very long time since I have been on any blogs and I am thrilled that you are working on a TWD. I think that the Fortunate Traveller is one of my all time favorites that I have stitched of Teresa's designs. The Carousel and Companions are a couple of others.... Congrats on your choice and one day it will make you so proud, as all of the other pieces you are working on.
Cheers
Hope you're feeling better - at least your stitching is still pretty! :)
I hope you're feeling better. Love the critters. :)
Having grown up with rifles and hunting I then moved into the international production community, I have seen a lot Cheap Jordan Shoes For Men of violence. Friends bleeding from multiple wounds in Mexico, beruit. I do not understand the belief Coach Handbags Clearance in America that you need a gun to protect yourself.
The 25 year old singer Cheap Air Force Ones was found unconscious in her Hollywood Hills home on Tuesday. This was initially seen as a case of 'heroin overdose'. However, this was later denied by a source close to Lovato. Shortly after OPB's story broke in September, Smith issued a press New Yeezy Shoes release announcing that Hardesty had embezzled Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale money from the NAACP. Neither her office nor Michael Kors Outlet Online any legal officials have offered proof to substantiate that serious Coach Outlet Sale allegation. It's only one example of Smith's affinity for old school smear campaigns.
