Too busy to

stitch! Honesty, I haven't picked up a needle in 2 weeks it seems. There has been a flurry of activity here since before Thanksgiving and I just haven't made stitching the priority it needs to be. My blog has also suffered as it has been easy lately to just check emails and then log off. I have missed reading the blogs that I follow, checking progress and just staying connected in general. I cannot say that things will get better in the near future either.

Today I am able to post here because I am snowed in. We had another 10 or so inches of snow last night and this morning. I haven't even looked to see if my driveway is passable to check mail, etc. The finisher has mailed back my St. Basil Santa pillow and I'm dying to see if it's been delivered at the top of the drive. UPS and USPS have permission not to come down the driveway under these conditions. So I'll eventually venture up there.

I'm decorated for the Holidays and will start my baking, wrapping and finish stitching one last ornie. I hope to post a picture or two very soon.

I don't think I reported to you how the EGA MAGIC show went. You recall that last year we pledged to finish up 3 UFO's or WIP's otherwise we'd have to pay into our Outreach coffers the amount we pledged if we didn't complete the projects. Well this was an excellent incentive program, very few, if any had to pay into the program. Nearly everyone finished the number of projects they pledged to do. That was great. I know I finished at least 8 projects which was more than I pledged to do. It was great fun especially seeing all of the finished pieces. Some dating back to the '70's! Great! You can email me if you want more specifics on how this works.

Better get out the sleigh for an adventure. Hope you're day is filled with joy as you are getting ready for your holiday. Thanks for stopping by today.
