Well I survived my first day back to work... barely! By 10:30am I had a headache, and by lunchtime it turned into a migraine. Which means I stayed home Monday night instead of going to Taekwon-Do (which I would of preferred). I did spend a little more time setting up my new laptop, gosh I've got so many files/folders to clean up from my old computer!
I sat down on Sunday night and jotted down what I wanted to get done for this upcoming month (stitching wise) and what I did manage to accomplish in December.

Stitch 1 Ornament
Since I didn't have the brains to work on any of my more complicated pieces I took the time to do the finishing on the snowflake I stitched up on New Year's Day. Its a little goal of mine this year, to actually finish things in a timely manner!
Snowflake - Cross Stitch Gold
Stitched on 28ct Opalescent Lugana
Stitched with DMC & Kreinik BF
Then I stitched up this wee snowflake from the same pattern. It was so small instead of turning it into an ornament, I made it into a scissor fob, it was just big enough to fit a nickle inside to give it a little weight.
Sorry to hear you had a migraine. Your stitching and finishing is gorgeous. Good luck with January's goals.
ReplyDeleteI used to leave finishing things for ages and then a year or so ago, I got into the habit of finishing as soon as possible after I'd finished the stitching (available supplies permitting). I now much prefer doing things straight away and not having a huge pile of things tucked away in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteYour ornament and fob look great!
I hope you're feeling better. your ornament and fob are really cute!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with January's goals Dani .
ReplyDeleteThe beaded edge and hanger on the snowflake are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals for the month.
ReplyDeleteSuper first finish for 2011, such a nice chart, and the cute little scissor fob is so darling.

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better Dani. Love the fob. It's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe snowflake made a lovely scissor fob! Hope that migraine is gone by now.
ReplyDeletei really think work sucks and makes us ill so therefore should be banned due to being bad, as they like to ban most things that are bad for us, i could then stitch instead of working love the fob finish
ReplyDeleteLove how you finished the ornie, and the fob is too cute.
