A Happy Dance
No, it's not what you're thinking. No finishes...although I vicariously enjoyed Carol's (http://carolsxsblog.blogspot.com/). She is amazing! She is so organized, stitches so beautifully and is just an all around inspiration for all of us wanna-be's.
Okay...back to my happy dance. Now I want you all to close your eyes and remember Snoopy's finest happy dances...hands (or paws) waving in the air, feet a-tappin' and eyes closed in joyful contemplations. That's me today. Why? Well, because I have some stitchin' friends coming over and we're going to spend our day with needle in hand. Woo-hooooo.
So maybe, just maybe I will have some more progress to post. I will also take some pictures of our time together. We are a small group this month probably ten or so over the course of the day. (Sometimes I have close to twenty). Because it's so cold, I am making chicken chili, served with crackers and, of course, M & M's. Stitching alone is great, but stitching with friends...well, it's fabulous.
For today, my projects on tap are 'Neuschwanstein (what else???) and House on a Hill.
DH, fearing out of control estrogen levels is scooting out of here. :-) His loss. He really is a sweet heart. He helps me get ready, then disappears. He really is just about perfect. I just wish he'd let me teach him to stitch! (It might help me get through my thousands of projects. :-))
I do have one picture to post. It's my 'TV' project. Our living room isn't set up well for stitching and I don't like to haul my Dazor all over the place. One day I would like to get another lamp, but until then I keep one project for those rare occasions (like the Olympics) that I hang out in there rather than in my stitching room. My project right now is the 2002 Prairie Schooler Santa, done on 7 ct Klostern with Number 3 Pearl cotton. He, along with several of his comrades are destined to be pillows.
Here he is!

I think he's pretty cute! :-) and I can see 7 ct even in relatively poor light. Who says I'm getting old?????
I wish all my friends from the 'blog' world could join us on this cold, sunny day in the north, but I want you all to know you are part of my heart and make my life a brighter place.
Blessings!
