First off, hoping that those that celebrate it had a wonderful Christmas! And if you are eyeing what's left in that Christmas cookie tray, just remember:
Our Christmas was quiet with friends stopping by on Christmas Eve so leaving the day itself for just chilling out after all the frenzy to the lead up to the holiday.
I had a special and unexpected holiday gift come in last Tuesday....
How did they know I had just re-organized my Red Stash?!?

Good thing too, as I now have the space for them, LOL! Talk about "Merry Christmas To Me"! Now I'm really looking forward to next year's Shop Hop !!
This year my "7 Days of New Years" tradition has to be changed from being called a "quilt-a-thon" to a "craft-a-thon" because cross stitch will be playing a part in what I'll be working on over these next few days. Hope my sewing machine doesn't get jealous, LOL!
I had started on a cross stitch piece for my MIL weeks ago and swore I would have finished it long before now. However, I admit a few last minute quilt projects helped get in the way (more on those later). The push is now to try to get it in the mail by Saturday. On Christmas Day, I tried to make the final push but at this point I am still only here with it:
I still have a few more flower buds to fill in on the bottom (which I'll get done tonight) and to complete a top border just like the bottom one. I also and want to add a line of backstitched text to it as well. So for the foreseeable future, this is the priority project that will need steady work on it to get it done!
