Today is Lisa's birthday so Happy Birthday Lisa! Anyway Lisa has let me know that she has received what I stitched for her so I can reveal it:) My first finish of 2008 and it is Blue Ribbon Designs Alphabet Tree stitched on an unknown fabby using GAST Bumblegum and made into a pinkeep! It was lovely to stitch and I just love this colour thread. Hope you have a fantastic day Lisa!Monday was Queen of the Needle night and considering 
I was feeling under the weather I think I had a good evening on it. I still can't get over how pretty this design is and I just love stitching it. I look forward to Monday every week so that I can stitch on it:) so thanks Helen for suggesting we do this. I'll be onto the verse next week so that should be fun as it's over one! Still it's 28 count fabric so it shouldn't be too bad! I think I'll be able to cope with that!

This is another one I look forward to every week. I just hope it looks OK as I am always unsure when I'm not using the charted colours and this is very different to anything I've ever done before. Anyway I love
the way it looks so far and can't wait for next week! Lol! I'm wishing my life away for stitching!!! What do you think to the colours?The rest of this week is whatever I fancy in my rotation and I was going to get Chatelaine Christmas Mystery IV out and try and finish it BUT I am doing the monthly SAL challenge on Stitch and Stash and I haven't even started it yet! It has to be made up into something and revealed on 26th January so I think I'd better start that plus I'd quite like to get a Christmas ornament out of the way so I don't have to think about it anymore ( it's a gift!)! So the mystery will have to wait for a little while longer!
Thank you for all your good wishes the other day. I am feeling a bit better although I'm still a bit under the weather. I will get there I am sure:)
Well I'll go and catch up on blogs for a bit now:) I enjoy my time every other day catching up and seeing what you've all been stitching:) {{{{hugs}}}}

OH Sally all your projects are just beautiul. You are one of the best stitchers I know. The pinkeep is stunning. Your WIP's are heavenly and after seeing your Queen of The Needle I have to make one for myself. You inspire me!
Have a great weekend.
Beautiful pinkeep, and Queen of the Needle is looking gorgeous. My favorite so far though is Sea Stars, the different motifs are just so fun. I think the colors you're using look great. Good luck finishing up Mystery. While you haven't much enjoyed this one, I think you'll have a great feeling of accomplishment when it is finished.
