Slow stitching....Card #3, and some tiny stocking progress

 Yup, that's what I've been doing lately....stitching very slooooowly!!Ok, it's not so much that I'm stitching slowly, but that I have had very little time to devote to it. I started this Christmas card on Halloween day, and finished it on November 15th!!! Ok, so I have a good excuse, we were out of town for 11 days, but still! I can't believe how long it took! At this rate, I will definitely not have all my Christmas stitching done for this year! I shoulda started in June....of 2010!!!! Ha! Oh well, Life happens, right?

Here are the starts to the Littlest Stockings #'s7 and 8.  Again....SLOW! I'm trying so hard not to beat myself up, I have been spending so much time with my daughter (who knew a 20 month old had soooo much energy!)  and that is so much more important than stitching, but I miss being able to just sit down and devote large chunks of my day to a project.

And "The Abbey"? Huh? What's that?! I haven't touched it since before Halloween! Same with "Coming Home For the Holidays", my SAL piece I'm doing with Julie.   I'm not anticipating a whole lot of stitching time next week, either, with Thanksgiving on Thursday. Eh, oh well....life happens, like I said.

Also, I've been sick with a nasty cold this week, so I've been wanting to rest alot more. by the time I tuck the little one in for the night,(around 7pm) it's about all I can do to just sit and stare at the TV for about an hour before I head off to bed. Don't you hate cold medicine buzzes? They are so not productive!! I'm glad I am starting to feel alot better!

Well, it's just about time for the tiny tot to be tucked in for her nap, and I am going to try to get some good stitching in while she's out! I'm hoping she gives me at least a good 2 hours to get something done!
