Small Kit

I also picked up this small kit from the Needle Delights clearance sale.  I think it's cute.

Kind Of A Balloon

I finished the Christmas Jewels ornament from Mill Hill.  Plenty of beads and floss left to do another one if I feel like it.  The stitching was easy, and the finishing a breeze.  Now I have the first of my 2013 ornaments to give away.

Begin The B

It still doesn't look like anything, but I promise that on the right is a seagull and on the left is a scallop shell.

More Fireworks

More fireworks from New Year's Eve.

Stash In The Mail

 Kathy at Needle Delights was having a sale to get rid of the last of her store inventory. I took advantage of that and scored all these wonderful threads!

Candy Cane Done

I finished Candy Cane Snow!  This was a kit from Trail Creek Farm, and came with the pillow insert and the case all made and ready to stitch.  I think it came out kind of cute.  It's another crazy January start finished, too!

New Year's Eve

 We went to the Rogers' house for New Year's Eve and got to see a lot of fireworks!  Andreas was able to set up his tripod on their balcony, and we were able to see displays from both the neighborhood and downtown.

People set off fireworks in their yards and on the streets here for all kinds of reasons - from birthday parties to Christmas to New Year's.  This year's display was huge and awesome.
