December 31st 2018
Oh my gosh, as you get older the days and weeks seem to fly by. Lots of things have happened this year to slow down my stitching progress. I had to move house - 2 months of my life gone, looking, packing, moving and adjusting to new neighborhood and house.
As its the end of the year, I thought that we better have a look back at what I have finished stitching, and been working on.

Every day that I work I get to stitch while waiting for the store to open, so I have completed several christmas ornaments this year.
Sugar Stitches - gingerbread house and cupcake
I have stitched Needle and threads
Several Santa Ornaments: some fully finished , some not completed into ornaments
Here is the progress I have made on Dusty Rose from Heaven and earth designs:
Almost completed page 19, about 1/3 of the way thru the whole project.
I also framed 2 of my previous Christmas finishes. - Christmas Garden - blackbird designs and Winter White Santa from Mirabilia.
To finish off, here is a couple of pictures of our main tree this year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. I am looking forward to a more productive year for 2019, Lots of new starts and hopefully lots of finishes to come.
Stitch the things your love.
