Just a really really quick post, as I’m pretty shattered – just wanted to show Carol and Leslie that I haven’t forgotten about this SAL we’re doing … I just haven’t had much progress to show. Anyway, seeing as I’m supposed to post a piccie each Friday, I figure I might as well show where I’m up to so far – I think Carol might be catching me up quickly, and at the rate I’m going will be overtaking me very soon! 😉 I’m really not enjoying this band at all, so it’s slowed my enthusiasm and my stitching speed down – perhaps the sooner I finish it the better, so I can move on to a more fun band. (Sorry for the poor photo quality.)
We had a couple of people off sick at work today, so I ended up with 3 1/2 hours overtime which will be absolutely awesome in the pay packet (Mr Taxman may just see his money at the start of the year!) … but on day 6 of work, doing an 11 1/2 hour shift has wiped me out and I’m pretty exhausted … it’s my last day tomorrow, with another 6am start, so no more stitching for me, I don’t think!
I was also supposed to post a Photo Hunt piccie, but I’m too exhausted to go hunting … I had a quick look through my online piccies, but nothing jumped out at me, so I’m going to flag the exercise this week – instead I’m going to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet in the 1 1/2 hours I have between getting home and having to get to bed again 😉
Feather Stitching 
It’s looking lovely Anne, I’m enjoying watching it grow.
Sounds like you NEED a lot of rest!!
(I’m here from the photo hunt, but I had to stop and wish you happy new year—and couldn’t resist leaving a comment. Your work on the sampler is going to be beautiful when finished!!)
Your Bordeaux Sampler is just stunning. Such nice stitching.
The sampler looks lovely Anne 🙂 Hope you got a good sleep. Hooray for overtime money but not for the hours!
Oh my but that sampler is beautiful! Get you some rest now my dear!
WOW! Your sampler is looking great, Anne.
Best wishes.
Your progress is great, Anne. You and Carol are sooo far ahead of me! Hope you get to have some good rest soon. Long hours can be so rough.
Dearest Anne, I’m finally back online… Haven’t had the time to read all your posts, but I did see how spoiled you were for Christmas, woohoo! 😀
Got your card yesterday, thank you!! You shouldn’t have, and you know it! But it is very special to me 🙂
(((((hugs))))) and a very happy New Year!!
Not to worry -I won’t be catching you! I dread finishing the last little bit of over one grapes on band two, so I haven’t touched it lately. I hope to soon, but have got to stitch Dianne’s RR and post by the 15th. Haven’t heard at all from you lately – hope all is OK!
I love the look of this band so hang in there. It may not be fum to stitch but the results are great. Happy New Year, CJ
