Merry Christmas everyone!
I am so sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted. Life is so in the way. I have been struggling with my job, mainly my boss. It's really a sorry tale. I thought that he was going to fire me a few weeks ago. The job started going south right before Thanksgiving. Mainly, it's a communication thing. But my boss is the boss and the boss is never wrong, so it's my communication that's lacking. I am not sure what I am going to do. I like the people that I work with and I think that given time, maybe it will work out. But I am pretty skeptical.
On the stitching front, I did finish a few ornaments. Frosty Flakes from LHN and a Prairie Schooler snowman. I don't have pictures because the David is in Japan with the little camera. I tried taking pics with my cell phone but they didn't come out very well. He will be home in a few days, so maybe I'll be able to take a snap or two. I am working on Prairie Schooler's, Christmas Eve, but it's a slow stitch for me.
And I've bought some things, Merry Christmas to me! I bought the new Blackbird Designs, Christmas Garden, and all the fixin's which I'm going to start on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. I also bought the new Stocking too.
I joined the WIPocalypse. Go take a look. I have too many wips. Need to pare down some of them and I did good with finishing some of my Wips during the first half of the year but the later half, not so much. I have to make a list. I pulled some of them out and nothing right now is calling my name. I'm hoping this little SAL will motivate me.
Now for the giveaway. I have been going through my stash and I've come up wth a couple of duplicate charts and magazines. I am giving away the following:
2011 JCS Ornament Magazine
LNH Ornaments:
Cardinal Winter
Silent Night
Gingerbread Village
The Scarlet House:
Jingle All the Way
So all you have to do is comment to this post only. I'll draw a name on Christmas Eve. I'll throw in a few extras too....
Hope everyone is ready for Christmas. I'm not but that's ok. This year, I'm doing my best to reflect on Jesus' birth.
Merry Christmas!
Blessings,
Joanie
