Thank you all! I had a very nice day.

Wow! I would be proud of that, too!

You did a lovely job!

Great project! What is the source for the CCS motifs?

Fabulous work. So artistic.

Your designs and stitching amaze me!

I haven't updated for quite some time. Although my true finishes don't look like I accomplished much, in truth, I did finish all the stitching of Lesley Teare's monthly owls as well as some monthly cats from Lynn B at happinessiscrosstitching.com and have been working on a birth record chart for DG...

I've also finished stitching all of Leslie Teare's owls (individually). Just need to finish them into small hangings for a calendar for DGD. I've got monthly cats (from happinessiscrosstitching) also stitched but waiting for some CCS borders. They will also be made into a calendar for another DGD.

I've made a few more greeting cards ...

So very cute!

Very pretty! You did a beautiful finish job, as well.

The only CCS finish I've made this year is this Valenine card I sent to a friend. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6AGYn9esN8A/XlagUvSBmQI/AAAAAAAACyY/EtcgXqQucZMjevDlgJVKTqHzw7nM7NFogCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_6508.JPG I also stitched a cute chart for one of my grandchildren but will save it for next year.

Beautiful work! That will be a wonderful gift!

Do you know if the December owl is still available from Lesley Teare? I have all the rest, but can't find the last one! :( Admittedly, I forgot to look until January... :doh: I believe the owls are gone for now. In going back through her blog, I don't even see the posts about the owls on her blog, ...
