Sunday update

What a great week. Dec is here and so is the holiday time. Started out with a Holiday Lunch on Saturday at a French resturant in Houston with my sorority(Beta Sigma Phi) sisters. What fun. I also received ornaments several days and have now mailed my FS secret santa gift. Will start sending my Christmas Cards out this week. Also , continued my rotation of WIPs with a little progress on each. Also started the LHN Winter pillow for my daughter, a Christmas gift to go with the spring pillow(birthday gift in April). Also stitched on a model for a stitching friend in California.
I also have all 12 of 2010 LHN ornament pattern, used only once, that I would love to trade for other patterns. I have a wish list on the side bar of my blog. Email me at joycefrank@sbcglobal.net if onlyone is interested in trading.
Our weather here in our part of Texas is still warm, but a cold spell is due this week. Here are pictures of my WIPs progress and ornaments received in the mail this week.
