I have gone back to my original plans of stitching the SomeBunny card for Helen's baby mainly because I have put the Bootees card somewhere safe..... and can't find where! Other cards I will work on include a Valentine for Stuart, a couple of friend's birthday cards and any others as extras to sell on Ebay as usual. Then I will work on my SAL - Lilliput Lane on Wednesday nights.
So that should keep me busy!!
No new photos tonight as I haven't taken any! What I did think I would show you is a great Maia Kit I have just found and that is now on the bottom of my wishlist. It is called "Rejoice" and I love it..... I would do it for Becky as they look like dancers to me..... I have my birthday coming up at the end of Feb.... maybe I could drop a few hints to my family??!!
It has been really cold here in the UK, not getting above freezing in the day.... so sitting and stitching at home with my new lamp has been great! Sadly it is back to the grind stone tomorrow! I just hope it isn't too cold at work as no one has been there over Christmas, I'll wear my warmest jumper just in case. Stuart is back at school tomorrow too but the girl's don't return until Tuesday.
I have completed a small finish today that I will add to my list (will post photo on next update) it is for a small Christening card with a cute bear on it ..... no real reason for stitching it just thought it was cute, it was from the new booklet that came with the new World of Cross Stitching magazine.
As it is back to work my stitching pace will slow down again, never mind, will post again later in the week. Hope everyone has a good week.

What date is your b`day
I love the rota idea. How do you actually run it? Do you put set hours for each peice etc. I would like to do something similar so picking your brains if you dont mind lol
Those rejoicing dancers are beautiful. I too am planning to got into rotation mode for my stitching. I just have to figure out a workable system.
I hope your office is warmer than mine which was / is freezing (I work on the Hagley Rd so I don't think I am too many miles from you). I think your rota sounds great.
I should start rota too... now I just stitch what I feel like and I have some things that have a schedule and the rota would help with those.
Rejoice looks wonderful.
We had -20C this morning when I left for work... my poor car was totally frozen even though we have block heater and heater inside the car. It's now -10C and I'm heading home.
Good Luck with the rota,i hope work wasn't too bad for you!
Looking forward to seeing all these wonderful pieces.
Good luck with your rota :)
I took a fleecey blanket to work with me today, but thankfully it was actually warm in my room! Other parts of the library were cold though.
(Have to say love the photos of your girls with books!)
The Maia kit looks like a good one to add to the list.They have brought out some lovely ones,very arty and something a bit different.Keep warm.
great idea the rota system.
I actually have a finished cross stitch project on my blog tomorrow (Tuesday)
Gill in Canada
Oh man, we have the opposite problem here in Australia. The heat is nearly killing us today. It is 42 degrees where I live. (we have a thermometre in the shade in our backyard and that is the reading on it now at 2.20pm)
I love your idea of a rota system. I may try something like that myself because I get bored just working on one large project. I think I will alternate my SAL on Gaynor's blog with some scrapbooking just to break things up a bit. The dancers look great
