A couple more bite the dust

Sure, I know some day my stitching streak will come to an end, but for now I seem to be making unaccountable progress. Over the weekend I managed a whopping 3 finishes! Yes, they are small, but they are still finishes and I'm happy dancing over them.

First I started AND finished Shepherd's Bush tiny America sampler kit -- I still need to iron it and attach the button, but the stitching is all done

If you have an in with SB could you please share my pet peeve with their sits that come with matting -- they cut the mat as if it doesn't need to go under the edge of the frame moulding which means when framed the mats look really strange... like somehow you were too lame to realize you needed an extra 1/4 inch on all sides to make the piece look right.

I also finished two in process pieces:

That's Blackbird Designs ornie from one of the JCS issues


this is last week's leftover -- Cherished Stitches' ornie from one of the JCS issues

I've also started another new piece, but someone lame (ahem) forgot to take a picture of it. Oh well, it'll wait. And, yes, I know, I needed another in-process piece like I needed a hole in my head.

Belatedly I can share a pic of a PIF I finally sent to Mel --

Thanks for the opportunity to stitch for you, Mel!

I even made it to the post office-- you know, that shouldn't be a minor miracle considering the post office is only across the street from my office! lol How is it so difficult for me to leave my office once I'm in? Anyone else have that problem. Anyway, I made it to the post office which means some packages should be arriving to some folks soon. Fingers crossed.....

Say, did anyone catch the premier of In Plain Sight? I taped it and will probably watch tonite. I have high hopes. If it doesn't pan out at least I have the return of The Closer and Burn Notice to look forward to.
