I know. I'm a tad bit late in my greeting. Unfortunately I had another computer crash and lost everything. I have been so bummed over that. But the good news is that I am slowly getting things back up and running. We are definitely going to looking into getting an external hard drive. My backup files I had on a flash drive were lost in the process. No one seems to be able to really tell me why that happened but it did. Needless to say I wasn't very happy.
While the computer was down I did get a chance (in between illnesses) to do some stitching. I finished my first ornament and stitching of 2009. This is a design I have loved for a long time and finally stitched it up.

I also finished a very pretty bookmark I received as a contest prize from SMO forums. It was kitted up with the fabric, threads, pattern and self adhesive foam board. Thank you Lauren for the prize and the lovely Tea Party.
I also was able to put in some stitching on one of my own designs "The Night Before Christmas". I designed this for a special SAL offered to members of my stitching group at Needleworkers' Haven. We are all doing well with our progress. It makes me very happy to see a design of mine come to life. Here is my progress so far:
And one more SAL we are doing currently at Needleworkers' Haven is a Winter themed SAL. I haven't had much luck with finishing mine yet but I will get it done by the end of the year for sure. This has been a UFO since 2006. I thought it was time to get this one finished. LOL My current progress so far:

That is all for right now. I hope to be back soon with more progress pics and maybe a finish or two. Thank you for taking the time to look at my works and for reading my blog. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
Blessings.
