Happy New Year

I am off to a great start on my stitching for 2016. I have a rotation of 15 cross stitch designs that I am currently stitching on. Several are series that I have continued from past years as well as other WIP. I may only stitch a little on each one as it comes up, but any stitches done is progress. As I finish one, another from my long list of want to stitch designs is put in rotation of the 15. I have completed 2 so far in 2016, Heavenly Host Angel #3-Joan Elliott and the April 2014 Doodle-Blueladie Designs. One is made into a Christmas Card and the other an all occasion greeting card. So far, I have stitched on 9 of the 15 in my rotation since Jan. 1. Here is my progress.

Here a few pictures of the wonderful Christmas I had with family.

We are small family as I only had 1 younger sister who was 3 years yearer. She had 2 children and I have 1. There are 3 grandchildren in her family and I have 2.

Kim is the school librarian that loves my cross stitch.

 My Christmas present from Kim was a ticket to go see Wicked at the Music Hall in July.
