New Year's Party

The embassy New Year's party was held a couple of blocks from our house, and we got to go on the roof to see the fireworks.  Not only were people at the party setting them off, so was everyone else.  There were fireworks in 360 degrees!  Breathtaking.  There was also a lot of silly string and noisemaking.  Thank you Florine and Saint for hosting the party!

Crazy January #1 - Wine a Little

Time to begin documenting my fifteen starts at the start of the year.  This I began on New Year's Day.  It's Wine a Little by Sue Hillis, and is fairly small.  I hope to put it into the rotation and finish it before the middle of the year.

Start to Finish in 2010

Finally, a picture of my completed Winter White!  I finished it before the end of 2010, so I did it all in less than a year.  Really fast stitching for me.  I liked stitching it, and I love the way it looks.  Now to get it framed...

Eight of Twelve

Finally, eight parts of twelve done on this.  Been a while since a picture.

Last of the Christmas Temari

This is the last of the temari I gave away at Christmas.  It's a double kiku in kyo-temari thread.  Simple design because well - I had a lot of temari to make!

Temari Treasure

 I have been a bit slack and busy, and so am just now working on my temari from Jean C.  She sent me this one back early last month, though.  Isn't it beautiful?  I love all the trefoils!  Thank you, Jean, and yours will be in the mail this week.

Secret Santa'd - Thank You Jillann

Santa reads my blog!  I got these beautiful Florimell skeins from my secret Santa in Friendly Stitchers.  Thank you so much, Jillann!  I'll definitely be using them very soon.
