Its been a busy week and I've managed to squeeze in a little stitching here and there not enough to make me happy though. I've noticed I've been a little grumpy when I haven't gotten my stitching in.
I have been working away on Teresa Wentzler's 2nd Byzantine Ornament, I just have backstitching and beads left.
I finished another ornament and I've got a few more in the wings, I just wish I had more time!
Students promoted at black belt testing
This weekend was full of Taekwon-Do stuff! Saturday was black belt testing, I wasn't testing this time around but I was helping out Tasha with parts of her testing. Also my buddy Jason got his 4th degree! That's a big deal!!!
Me & my Little Tiger students
Today, was the Santa Clause parade in the town where I go to Taekwon-Do. I was on the fence about going, but since my little tigers were going to be on the float, I kinda needed to be there.
I'm anxiously awaiting my Christmas Holidays! I can't wait to be able to just stop for awhile.
Very pretty ornaments. I love how the blue and purple stand out on the gold Byzantine ornament.
ReplyDeleteHope you get more stitching time this week.
Lovely ornaments! That little mouse is too cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you get your fill of stitching time in :) I know exactly how you feel!
Lovely ornament and I love your little tigers

ReplyDeleteCongrats on receiving the 'you rock' award
Well done to your Taekwan Do buddies on their achievements
Wonderful ornaments! Love the pic of you and your Tigers :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe Santa can put a little more time in all our stockings :)
Love the ornaments Dani! I get a bit grumpy too when I don't stitch (or so my family says).
ReplyDeletebeautiful ornaments!
ReplyDeleteLovely ornaments. I get kind of grumpy when I don't get stitching in. Lovely pictures of your groups.
ReplyDeleteI get downright hostile when I don't get to stitch. Love the ornaments!
ReplyDeleteES UNA CHULADA!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteUN ABRAZO
I know just what you mean about getting grumpy when you have to go a day or so without stitching, Dani! If I don't get some stitching time and treadmill time in each day, my anxiety level goes way up!
ReplyDeleteLove your ornaments and the little mouse is one of my favorites. I've already stitched it once, but I'd love to do it again for a friend.
I'm sure your little Tiger students just adore having you as their teacher :)
Lovely ornaments!
ReplyDeleteAll my crafty stuff keeps me sane. Literally. I'd be on anti-depressants or something otherwise. *twitch*
I am loving the ornaments! I never thought I would say that, since I said I would never stitch ornaments, lol. I love how the colors just pop against the goldish tones. I am on the last one right now, then I will be finishing them off.
ReplyDeleteI get grumpy too, when I haven't had my stitching time ;)
Nice TW orni's
ReplyDeleteClare
I'm glad you had time for stitching! Really nice stitching and finishes. And Congrats to the black belts who tested this weekend! Your little tigers look so cute all dressed up warm with their dobuks on the outside. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, this TW ornament is even prettier than the previous one! Love the little mouse one too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you were all bundled up well for your ride on the float. Hope you enjoyed it!
Both your ornaments are beautiful Dani.
ReplyDeleteThe TW looks fabulous! And the mouse is so cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat ornaments indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the Byzantine ornaments you're stitching, they're so elegant. I love the little mouse too, what a cutie :) I can't wait for the holidays either, time to relax at last! Take care.
ReplyDeleteYour finished ornie is so cute, and the byzantine is looking great.
