Thanks, Twinkle!!!

I took a little break from the sampler after last week's mishap, so I started up again last night--got a little more stitching done, and ripped out about half of the mistake from last week. I'm finishing this puppy up this week!!!!

[1 hour] Finish DS13's birth sampler!!!!

I have not been participating in this but I really need to be. So...my challenge is to work on my DD#2's birth cross-stitch for 1 hour this week. I'm hoping to have it done by Christmas. Her 2nd birthday is in two week and there's no way I'll finish it before then.

I am overwhelmed with all of my projects so here goes:

Work at least 1 hour on scrapbook for DH's GrPa
Work 1 hour on knitting potholders and washcloths
Work 1 hour on knitting blanket for my son

Anything else is just icing on the cake!!

I am going to try to finish my last cross stitch Christmas ornament for one of the grandsons. I also would like to get started sewing on some Christmas pillows for the grandsons and youngest granddaughter. It won't get done tonight. LOL Good luck to all of you crafters!!

I am working little by little on the quilted star ornaments. Would like that to be my ornament for co-workers this year so need 13 and have 3 done. Will see. I got a cute new Counted cross stitch book at Michaels last week so also would like to try a few items from it. There are about 10 other people that I try to make 4-8 new ornaments a year for so need to be getting on that. I put the ornaments in some type of decorated sack and then give them a tray of cookies and that is their gift.

If work would just cooperate and let me stay home and get paid--so much more would get done! LOL

DahliaDoll and all who are interested,

go to make-stuff.com, go under holidays and then under Christmas on the right hand side about 3/4 the page down look at the quilted ball ornament. That is it. The very first year I did a swap I received one and always loved it. My DH figured it out one year and then shortly after that I found the pattern! I do different colors but I like blue. The last several I have did I use like a blue with silver specks for the middle, silver shiny for the center and the last is blue with shimmery snowflakes on it. Then I put a silver ribbon around it.

Hope you enjoy.
