Just an update on my Up For A Challenge 15

I finiahed stitching my ornament from the 2009 Just Cross Stitch Magazine, this is waht it looked like on sunday.


And now the stitching is done, I am so happy I finished this lovely ornament, I plan on adding a braid around the edging for a finish.

 
 This is the Lavander Wings 2004 Automatic Customer Exclusive Design, I bought this at a satash auction in feb. last year, I started to stitch it then put it away yrsterday I finished the border
I hope to have this finished by saturday, and that would make two of my Up For a Challenge

The weatherman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has issued a winter weather advisory for most of Minnesota today and part of tomorrow, the winds are blowing hard and blowing snow so shoveling the drivway is not a good idea, we do have a snowblower but not enough snow on the ground to start it up, I am off today, I am so happy about that, I plan on doing somemore stitching, put patches on my husbands uniform (a few times a year) when the Sgt. in the court house goes on vacation he takes over for her, he normally wears a suit and tie, I think he like to put on the uniform a little he sure looks good.

I also need to take in his dress shirts today he has a large chest but a tiny waist, that is what happens to people who lift weights, oh how I had his diciplinefor working out.

Donot forget this coming week-end is the ISHW week-end.

Time to get back to stitching, hang in there winter is on a down hill slide finally..
Happy Stitching
