2012 has started and I am in Virginia, visiting my friends. This picture is their cat Piper. Isn't she a beauty? Last time I was visiting, I forgot at times she was in the house because she stayed upstairs majority of the time. This time she has escaped from the house at least three times this week!
This is my last finish of 2011. It was finished on Friday, Dec 30. I just couldn't sew together until a couple days ago, I caught my friend's cold and I have been sick all week. I just don't have the energy to stitch when I want to, so my stitching has been slow. I haven't even read as much either. This ornament is from Leisure Arts Christmas ornament leaflet I got from Elizabeth in my 12 Days of Christmas exchange. I stitched the snowman on red aida and used 2 threads of red for Merry Christmas. It is on its way to its new home.
This is my new journal for the year. I love it because it says Paris and Eiffel Tower on it. Paris is the one city I want to visit, which I might do when I turn 50. I am doing another12 Days of Christmas with my friend Vickie of Reading and Stitching. Her box arrived yesterday and I opened the first gift that was marked. It was a Jane Austen day book from England. I am going to try write in it everyday, even it is just mundane stuff. I could keep track of what I stitch everyday. I will show a picture on my next post.

| Haunted Halloween by Ursula Micheal |
I have joined 2 SALs this year. This is the first one, Haunted Halloween by Ursula Micheal. I am stitching this with Linda from Stitching with My Furbabies. This is a little more bigger than I thought it was going to be. I had to order the materials on Dec 31 and had send to my friend's house so I can start on time. It arrived yesterday on the 6th. I started on it immediately and did part of the roof while supper was cooking. I'll get back to it next Friday.
This was my new start of the year, Snow by Shephard's Bush. I thought this was going by my first finish but I ran out of GA Oatmeal thread. I have some more at home. I will finish it when I get home. I love how its coming out. Sorry the picture is bad, I took a quick one and didnt realize there was a piece of green ort on it until now.
The weather has been beautiful here. There has only been one or two cold days and the rest of time very warm. The nights are cold though.
Many hugs until next time,
Vicky
