Finally got a chance to stitch on Liz our SAL with Kati this weekend. I haven't had a lot of time on Sunday's...they are turning into family days, this weekend though My SIL brought her stitching as well, so I was able to get some time in :) Slow going, but it's getting there. Plus it didn't help that I had to frog the S and re-stitch it, because I was off by 1/2 a thread! GRRRR but at least it wasn't the whole of the letter.
I also had a couple of small finishes. Some instant gratification pieces, I like to call them. So these will go on my stitching tree this year. I have to get back to my Sockeye, which I have placed back in the Q-snaps today, don't think I'll get to it until Wednesday though, cause tonight I don't feel much like stitching, and tomorrow it's a night out with the girls. So Wednesday it is. I am hoping for a happy dance on Sockeye in the next couple of weeks, if all goes as planned, but then we all know what the best laid plans are...

I took some time this weekend to organized and re-sort my floss! EEKKK that took 3 1/2 hours! All my little projects and big projects the same, all the floss just went into this bit melting pot of floss in an X-large Ziploc bag...so much so that when I needed to pull floss, I knew I had it, but it was easier to buy a skein than to go ahead and dig thru the bag! Shameful! So I sorted those and put them all back into the proper floss-bags and everything is nice and easy to find....until the next time. LOL

I have been watching your progress on your birds - nice finish! Good idea to stitch up some of those quick satisfaction pieces. And the good old stash/floss sort out.....a lot of time but a job that when done makes you feel beter.
Oh, your two ornament-sized finishes are adorable, Barbi and your SAL is looking just great! Doesn't it feel wonderful to have all of your floss well-organized now? I'm sure it was worth all the time you spent on it :)
