I am doing well at achieving my goals for the week. Firstly here's my little penguin I have been working on for a while - cute isn't he I love penguins.... I have finished all the cross stitch now and started on the back stitch this morning. When complete I will mount him on a card. This was from the Cross Stitch Card Shop 62 that I subscribe too.
It has been pretty quiet at work, the boss and 2 sales guys are at a trade show in Germany and my friend Julie is off sick (Julz hope you feel better soon - I've been lonesome!) This meant I could do some sneaky under the desk stitching!! I work in the reception area so away from the rest of the lads (only 5 others!) but they do pass me to go to the loo and make tea/coffee. I stitch and stitch but as soon as I hear the inner door go the stitching hides back under the desk!!! hehehe. I have managed to finish Stuart's placecard and start my dads. I have also done a fair bit on Stuart's 40th card today - lots of green lines.... all will become clear when I show that one.
Last night I started my MiL's coaster, it is on 18ct aida so seems to be stitching up quickly, I think I'll get this done in the next week which will mean 2 out 3 pressies done before the end of October. Here it is so far -
I am off to Stitch Club in a minute and will take my Capricorn Peekaboo to work on there. This is coming along well and I'll show you an update on that next time. I also now have the Sagittarius chart (thanks Shellie) which I will start next week.

Cute Penguin! :) I have also stitched at work when it's been really quiet but now it's just impossible. I'd love to have a job where I could stitch all day. :)
