This photo was taken in November of 2011 when my head instructor was testing for his Masters in Taekwon-Do. During his self defense skit, he knocked my friend Jason "flat" on the floor.
I've not really had any time at all for stitching this week. I spent Monday-Wednesday nights at the dojang, I also went to Weight Watchers (where I just can't get my act together, I gained 1.5 this week), Thursday I had a lovely visit with a friend and started a little shopping on the way home that night... which I will tell you about when I get my purchase (don't have it yet). I was also back in at Taekwon-Do on Saturday (after wrapping up my shopping) to assist with the written and physical test for 3 black belt candidates. Doesn't all of that make you feel as exhausted as I did by the time Friday night rolled around?

Stitched on 32ct Ocean Fantasy Linen from Silkweavers
Stitched with DMC, WDW and Kreinik braid & blending filament
During December I participated in Becky's Ornament Challenge and I was the "International Winner"! I won a $25 gift certificate to 123 Stitch, I finally received my purchases earlier this week! I am now participating in the Winter Challenge and the above Happy Dance will sure fit the bill!
I was planning on sharing progress on EOW and Accolade with you but I just got the reminder that the full moon is on Tuesday which means I'll have a WIPocalypse update for you in a few short days! So it can wait for now.
Haven't been blogging for a while but glad to see you are still doing well and stitching. Cute Polar finish and I love that Maple leaf pattern you got with your winnings. CJ in OK ;-)
