Holiday gifts

This year, I made these calendars as gifts for some of my close friends. To make them, you slide the card stock into a 4x6 picture frame and place the calendar on the outside. Aren't they cute?

In other news, I've joined my first stitch-a-long over at Bride's Tree SAL. I'm planning to stitch from my stash as much as possible. This will give me the opportunity to work on projects I've bought for myself over the years that I haven't really touched since. I do way too much obligation stitching.

I also like the idea of stitching from my stash because then my ornaments won't necessarily look like a matched set. Since we have a very eclectic tree, with ornaments from around the world, I like the idea of keeping the hodge-podge character going. I'll let you know which patterns I choose as I go along.

Merry Christmas!

Several of my friends have been after me to "start" a blog. Since I set this up a while ago, I finally decided I should start posting. For my first real post, I thought I'd show you two Christmas-related items.

The first is the holiday card I made this year.

The second is a set of biscornus I made. One was for my hubby, P in DC. The other was for Brave Astronaut. This is based on the Philly one that Stitch Bitch made.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to my blog. This is a place where I will talk about my hobbies (cross-stitch, card-making, and logic puzzles) and interests (sports, things going on around DC). Feel free to leave me a comment.
