Happy Friday! Fridays are my favorite days, because the week is over but I still have two days off to come...

Well, I finished the angel I spoke of in my last post, and have given her to my friend, so here is the photo of it.

The pattern is from the March 2006 issue of the British Cross Stitcher magazine. I added the Santa hat embellishment myself... It is a Christmas ornament, after all.

Oh, and in the process I also finished the jingle bells angel, and here she is as well.

With the time I spent on the dachshund angel this week, I didn't work on Day without Stitching at all, so no scan of it this week. I'm sure I'll do some work on it next week...

It has been awhile. I've been doing lots of things, other than posting here - that includes solving some Internet connection issues. Also includes cross stitching, so here are my project updates.

First, I have finished the stitching on the jingle bells for my latest angel ornament. With many quarter stitches, it was harder than it looks to finish! I will be stitching one for a friend next, so won't be posting pictures - until after she gets it!

I've also done more work on Day without Stitching. It's coming along, as my stitching nears the bottom of the design. The spaces for personalization will remain empty, as they will be done last.

It's the weekend, hurray! Fall has arrived, it appears, here in Arkansas. The leaves should be changing soon. October is my favorite month of the year.

It's Saturday, a good day to review the week, and take stock of what I have accomplished in it. Guess that includes my cross stitching as well. I made some progress, though admittedly a lot of it was just today. (My son was at a birthday party, and I was watching a movie, "The Music Man," and cross stitching.) Here is my current progress on Day Without Stitching:

I have also worked enough on my next angel to share progress. It's Jingle Bells, from the BH&G leaflet Treasury of Christmas Cross-Stitch Designs.

Yesterday I received some leaflets I won in an eBay auction, including an older Garfield the cat leaflet, and I believe I will be stitching a design from there next. Christmas is coming soon now, and it's time to plan for that.

Have a good week!

Hello, it's Sunday here in Arkansas. I finished my kitten angel last night, so here I am to show her off today.

Also done some more work on A Day without Stitching, though not very much. I just haven't been sitting around cross stitching lately, I guess...

Now I'm beginning work on my next angel ornament. (I did mention I had order a dozen from Herrschner's, didn't I?) The design I haven't really settled upon yet, but it will come from the leaflet Treasury of Christmas Cross-Stitch Designs, which I got with a hard bound cross stitch book from BH&G several years ago.
