A rather nasty and persistent stomach flue visited me these past days, leaving me with very little energy to do anything at all. I managed to do a wee bit of stitching (granted this was after day 2) and this is my very first official finish in 2008:
Ewe & Eye & Friends - Whimsical Heart
Threads: Venus
Fabric: 36 ct evenweave, greenish
I'm sorry I don't know if there is an official name for the fabric. We carry it in the shop and it seems like THE fabric for these E&E&F designs. I enjoyed stitching this one sooooo very much. Don't know yet how I'll finish it though.
Speaking of finishes, this is my very first finish finish in 2008. Well, to be honest, Ria did most of it, I just sewed on the heart button and did the last row of whipstitching.
Stitchy Kitty - Chilly's Gift
Threads: Venus and Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid
Fabric - 32 ct Belfast light blue
I like him so very much and am glad that he'll keep us company in the shop for the next couple of months. Ria said he was a rather quick stitch. We changed the colors a wee bit, making him more pink and purple.
I also finished the Christmas ornament for January for our ornament club, but am not sure if the members want to see it already or if they'd prefer it to be surprise. Let me figure out how I can make a link so that you can click on it by choice.
Now remember, you don't have to look

I am also still plouging away on my Nashville workshop. Just one more block to go. I really like the Halloween version, but can only share this with you after the Nashville show is over. There is still a bit time left before I go to bed, so I might get back to my stitching or even start something new. After all, I should have at least one E&E&F project on the go :).
