Good morning to all my stitching and crafting friends. Hope you have had a great week. Every with being very busy at work, I have been able to relax in the evening with my stitching. Here are pictures of my WIP for the week. I finished my first 2012 Christmas Card.  I also finished an ornament for an exchange and will picture it when she had received it. Also, I was given my Granddaughter, Anna, band picture. She turned 12 on January 30 and is in the 6th grade. This is her first year of band and she is enjoying it. Of course I think she is sweet and pretty.

Weekly Update on WIP progress

Happy March to all of you.
First let me send my prayers out to all of the storm victims. What a disaster!
Again this past week and until April 17th, I will be very busy at work. Therefore, I am very tired in the evenings and only get an hour or 2 of stitching in. Of course I can't go without stitching. I have changed my rotation a little, adding in a couple of new designs, I am doing for my Grandson and Granddaughter for Christmas gifts. Also, a friend that is now divorced and his x took his son's stocking with her, talked my into doing a christmas stocking for him. He is paying me and of course I couldn't say now. Money for more stash! I almost finished an ornament for an exchange too.
Also, stitching on the piece for a lady that has had a design started and not finished(getting paid for it too). So here is what I stitched on this past week.

Happy Holiday weekend to all my US stitchers friends and all of my other countries' stitching friends.
We have had a very wet weekend. The rain did stop on Saturday and it has been a great weekend since then. I have ducks that wander my apartment comples and Saturday morning I watched a mother and new ducks. I did take some pictures and that I would show them off.
Hope all of you had a great Valentines. I know I did. After a busy day a work, I spent a couple of hours at my LNS stitching and having a glass of wine, then I went to my daughter's for dinner. I had yellow roses and a bottle of Cupcake wine waiting for me. Of course I have to show them off.
Also, my progress on my WIPs are shown. I did finish my Lizzie*Kate exchange and put it in the mail on Saturday, will picture it next week after my partner gets it.
I was stitching in my sunroom Saturday morning and watching the ducks, it was neat.

Here is my progress for the week as well as a picture from the ball.
I have now stitched 6 pages of 16 pages of The Alphabet Samplings Book by With My Needle.
