Sashiko Present
Andreas got me this sashiko beginner kit for Christmas. Now to get time to do it instead of unpacking moving.

Atelier 196 Advent
The Atelier 196 advent calendars are always good, but they arrive so late! These three arrived in the same box - on December 20th. Also, the note enclosed is cute.
On To Side Two
Working on the second big middle knot now. This is coming along pretty well when I actually work on it.
Yellow Leg
That yellow leg underneath the green turns out to belong to the first frog. So technically, he's not done. Will be done soon, though.
Three On The Bed
A rarity - all three puppies on our bed at the same time. If they're going to do this, they do it on Leonora's bed. Aren't they sweet? And Carol and Chad are acting like siblings who like each other.

Good For Green
This is the second color version of this ornament I've made. I like the green. Another one is in the works. In the meantime, this one's a keeper.
Half A Florin
Another stitch maynia small getting its time in the spotlight. I've gotten several of them done, and now it's this one's turn. Of course, all the colors are changed up.
Chad Scramble
This is how Chad tried to retrieve something he dropped. Successful retrieval, but unsuccessful at staying on the bed. He does have a cute corgi butt, though.

Squared
These little needlepoint pieces are easy to finish into ornaments, so I've been doing several. This one I like a lot.
Stemmed
I have the stems done. Time to work on the giant leaf, which I've started. Time for waaaay too many French knots.
Another Year Crept By
Yay, I finished this fairly large piece before the end of 2020! It looks pretty good, and I'm still happy with my choice of fabric for it.
Carol The Elf
Carol loves wearing shirts, but she had problems with her antlers. Leonora did get a good shot of her, though. She's our little excitable, anxious elf.

Welcome Friends by Joan Elliot - Work From Home #44
I changed out the fabric on this, as the original was white aida. Yuck! A pretty good start, at least. Time will get it done.
All The Clerestory Windows
The dark upper windows on all four houses are done. Yay! And the fourth quarter's willow tree is started, too. Not much love from the spinner on this lately, but there's progress.
Gift From Leonora
Leonora commissioned this for us from one of her photographs. It's Mattie out on the back porch. I miss Mattie so much. Now I get to see her every day. This is the most wonderful gift she could have given us. Thank you.

Filling The Glass
The glass is beginning to look less like an outline. Unfortunately, this hasn't been getting spinner love to progress.

The Beggar
This is how Grayson begs. We are trying to teach him about no noses above the table, and he's learning but not perfect yet.

Advent From Jodyri
I bought Jodyri's advent calendar this year. It arrived in time to open the whole thing at the right times. Lots of threads to use, and four fabrics. They're a bit on the pink side, but they'll get used.
Mexican Tiles by Margaret Bendig - Work From Home #46
This is an old needlepoint workshop that I ghosted and never started. Time to start it. I like the look so far.
Grayson The Reindeer
Leonora managed to get Grayson wear the headband long enough to take a picture. My kangaldeer looks great.

Golden Globe
This is what Andreas got for me from the white elephant exchange. I think it's beautiful. I love blown glass.
Chad In Jail
Chad was accidentally locked in the office for a few minutes some weeks ago. Doesn't he look pitiful? He'd only been there less than five minutes.

Gifts From Granit
Granit gave me these gifts for Christmas. I like the tartan a lot, and the Kosovo magnet will go on the fridge in the new house when we move next week.
Bare Branches By Kick Back And Stitch - Work From Home #45
One more small needlepoint piece started. Going to have a few of these. Would rather not be starting and not be confined due to this situation.
Grayson's Balls
Grayson likes sensory balls. He loves the texture, squeaky, and bell. So much that he tears them apart, constantly.

Summer Boxes Done
I switched out a -lot- of colors on this, and I like the way it turned out. Will get made into something soon.
