I Was Hijacked!!!
Regular blog readers. I must apologize ... someone broke into my account and posted pictures of some Asian woman with really bad spelling. Luckily the photos weren't offending and the posts have been removed. If you're a regular blogger you may want to consider changing your password!

A Stitching HD and Finishing HD's!
Today was a day for getting things done that were stitching related. My first finish for the day was a stitching Happy Dance. For the first time ever I'm behind on a round robin, the mailing date was Monday of this past week... its now Sunday. But its stitched and will go in the mail on Thursday.
Here's Terrance Nolan's Ash Gray Ladybug c1999 this is for Sherrin's Wee Beasties RR
After completing my stitching for the day I retreated to my craft room to finish the last of my Christmas Ornaments. I've finished 27 in total this year. I'm not going to post pictures of each and every one of them here however if you follow this link. It'll take you to see them by clicking on each file name individually. A fair amount of these are on my website with full details. The rest will make it onto my website during the Christmas holidays (5 working days to go!) with all the appropriate details and credit.
My next stitching focus is to finish off the poor wee Lanarte Cow I started some months ago but never found the time to get back to. He should be done in a couple of days.

What's Up With That Canada Post
Okay I just don't get it, I don't understand the postal system. But then perhaps we're not meant to?
Today I sent two parcels in the mail they were small the same size roughly the same weight. One going to Alberta one going to North Eastern US. Please tell my WHY oh WHY does it cost me 5.05 to send the parcel to the US and 8.00 to send the one within Canada?

Finally Finished!
This month's ornament which I also stitched on in November I think is the ornament that would never end. Though its pretty, though it was on my wish list I found it sooo boring. At times after a short interval of stitching on this I'd want to go and take a nap! But its done, and it is the only Christmas Ornament I'm planning on stitching in December.
Click HERE to have a look at my ornament. I can't give you any details because its for the Ornament RR Group 7 and I wouldn't want to give away the surprise!
Now I'm going to kit up the Ash Grey Ladybug from Terrnace Nolan for my late Wee Beasties RR.

Finishing, not Stitching
At least that what it feels like I've been doing this week! I've been doing far more finishing than time stitching. During the week I've been working on finishing my ornaments, over half of them are done now. I just have a couple I want to sew instead of glue. I've also been doing quite a bit of framing. I've got all the mats cuts and almost all the frames made for all of my jobs but one. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up glass for them all and then everything should be finished tomorrow night and ready for delivery on Tuesday! Yay, cause I want them all out of here! I'd also like to get some stuff framed for myself!
So I'm still working on that poor Round Robin Ornament. I'm down to the last colour now and should finish it in a day or two. Then I've got to get going on my current Wee Beasties RR. I thought the mail out date on that was later in December, well it turns out its on Monday. Needless to say it won't be going out on time.
Well the snow is here... I'm ready for summer now!

Goal Time!
Yup a start of another month, time to fess up on what I got done what I didn't get done, and what I'd like to get done!
November Recap :
Yup a start of another month, time to fess up on what I got done what I didn't get done, and what I'd like to get done!
November Recap :
- Finish MVI part 11 - Yup... even finished part 12 that's the entire mystery done!
- Finish Mini Mystery G part2 - Yup
- Stitch 2 ornaments - Only got one done
- Make progress on Dragon's Tea Party - Not too bad
- Finish Ottawa Sampler - Didn't see the light of day
- Finish Lanarte Cow - Didn't see the light of day, why refer to goal 3
So I'm very disappointed in November I didn't stitch as much as I would have liked too and I just wasn't focused at all in my stitching.
December Goals
- Finish Mini Mystery G
- Stitch 1 ornament
- Finish Dragon's Tea Party
- Finish Lanarte Cow
- Work on Ottawa Sampler
This month's goals I hope are more attainable, also I'll be off work for two weeks over the holidays so there should... and I say should be plety of stitching time!!!
