Well, lol, as I mentioned last month, the new year is off to quite a chaotic start!  I suddenly found out I had missed a design for A NEEDLE PULLING THREAD (you may already know I am a feature contributor for them, with designs in all 4 issues each year).  And I also told you last month, my idea for the CASTLE NURSERY... I took the piece to Florida with me, and got a good quarter of the design stitched... maybe even a bit more.  We head for England in March (short trip, only a week), as our youngest grandchild turned two so of course we have to go see her (wink). 

Anyway, I'll take the stitching with me there too, and hopefully have the 'top layer' almost done by the time we come home.

And I'm still working away on year end bookkeeping (sigh)... I've been through 6 months, so have finalized half the year, but working on that doesn't leave much time for stitching (sniff sniff).  

I keep telling myself that I need to spend 30 minutes at the beginning of every day working on my books, getting things posted and finalized... but there are so many more interesting things to do, (GBG), I just never seem to get to it.  Then it's suddenly the end of the year, and I have a mountain to wade through, and all the fun stuff has to be put on hold while I get the work done... ah well, one day I'll learn! 

What with travelling and bookkeeping, not much designing is getting done... but I know there are some designs I need to get working on in March, so I'll have more FUN stuff to tell you about next month (wink)... happy stitching until then!
