Santa Day SAL

"NOEL" from the Dec 2007 issue of The Cross Stitcher
Progress as of 2-1

I didn't get as much done on "Noel" as I wanted but some progress was made. I finished all the green stitching and got a little more red done over the "O". I will now be rotating this on Fridays with Just Nan's "12 Days of Christmas". I'm getting a late start on the 12 Days, I want to get at least one day done each month so I won't be stitching them all at the end of Nov in order to get them on the tree. One of these years I'll have a whole tree full of "12 Days" ornaments.

I really wanted a Carrot Cake for my birthday but the bakery at WalFart (I hate our WalFart store) just never had one so I had to make my own. I haven't baked a cake from scratch in years so wasn't sure if I even remembered how. After grating the carrots, mixing it all together I held my breath to see if how it would turn out. Success, DH said it was the best Carrot Cake he's ever had. I even did the cream cheese frosting from scratch and it was yummmmy too.

Today I'm working on the "Snowmen Needle Roll" and it's close to a finish. I had to order the beads for it and they should be here the first of the week so I can finish it next Saturday. I also have two more needle rolls I need to finish. One needs beads and the other is ready to put together, so I might get those done today. Tommorrow is "Queen" day and next week I need to get two projects done for exchanges, WOOHOO I get to start 2 new project.

Until next time......Happy Stitching
