Thursday's Check in

Hello friends, it has been a few days since I have last checked in; just trying to get back into the groove with the boys back in school after the winter break as well as deal with their hockey schedule and find my "full-time" role in *The Business*. No new routine has formed yet...I am sure it will take a while to figure things out.

In the meantime, I have found a few spare minutes when I was able to pick up the thread & needle. So, as mentioned in my last posting, I have not been working on Family Sampler laterly...
so what am I putting X's in, you ask?
Do you remember my special little package that I received from my dear friend CindyMae in November?
Here is a snap as a reminder...


One of the items was the Prairie Schooler Santa 2009 stitched and finished as a pillow



Well, in our household, a Santa with hockey skates & stick & puck is well thought of - so, since Cindy also included the pattern for this jolly hockey guy I wanted to make a couple of ornaments for the boys. I started stitching one the middle of December, but with all the holiday craziness I didn't get it done for this year's Christmas tree...so I am hoping to have it for the 2012 tree.
Anyway, here is where I am on the first one (with 2 boys, you know I need to stitch 2)...


I am stitching it one-over-one on 28ct evenweave (I think) - yikes it is tiny! I am hoping to finish the first one up by the end of the month (seems to be a realistic goal). Stay tuned, for I will post another update.


That is all I have for now, my blogging friends. I hope the first 5 days of 2012 are going well for you. Until next time, remember...
Live, Love, Laugh and Stitch often!
