I found it very hard to put Henry away last night.... but I want to stick to my rota. I have managed to work quite a lot on Jane, she now has facial features, 2 arms, a hat and the top of her dress!! Anne Boleyn stands next to her and I will work on her next! I just love it!!
I spent some of yesterday finishing off Laura's L..... I just used some gold coloured felt to back it on and used gold ribbon to hang it up by. She has it in her room hung up by her TV.
My mom and dad have bought my birthday present today, even though it's not for another month!! I really want a little light weight sewing machine so I can do little bits and pieces at home instead of having to go over to moms and got my old heavy one out! They saw one in a shop today and thought it was just right.... so they bought it now..... sadly I have to wait until 28th Feb!!!! But it will be worth the wait!Last year I signed up to stitch an ornament for Donna at http://stitchingforacure.blogspot.com. I told Donna I would work on it in 2009 and I have stuck with my plan!! There is a choice of designs for your ornament and I chose the Blackwork one (or should I say pinkwork!!)
I have more stitching to do first, then adding beads, then finishing into an ornament. I will post a picture again when I have finished.
My rota this week includes - Dusky Dreams, Warwickshire Map and my new start from my Christmas stash - Lizzie Kate's "Housework". I hope to get a bit of each done and plan to do the crest of arms on the Map - I must finish this one soon!!!!!!
Hope you all have a good week......

everything is looking good. I think I am going to try and track down a map of Cumbria to stitch as I am sure they make one? I actually thought it would make a neat Christmas gift for a couple of family members.
