I hope yours was better than mine.
DH is sick. Just went to the doctor this AM and he has bronchitis. You know how it is when a DH is sick...
I have been so encouraged by my progress on the gift I'm stitching. I can see myself getting it done in a month or so. Anyway, I was stitching away when I realized the border was off. It has two borders: the first is a repeating type border and then another border of purples with corner designs. I'm working on the repeating border now. But yes, I had to frog what I did this weekend.
I'm a little discouraged and may just pick up on the Coffin Buzz for awhile. I feel like I'm behind on that anyway. I haven't finished anything for the challenge.

Totally Spoiled!
After a long Christmas break from work, and then a break from work due to snow, and yesterday being a holiday....I am back and wishing I could be home stitching! I got so spoiled being at home being able to stitch for long periods of time, I am having withdrawals today! I did get a lot done on my friend's piece. I also ran out of the yellow I need so I hope to get that tonight after work. I really hope everyone else is getting to stitch today!

I'm back!
I know you probably thought I dropped off the face of the earth, but I didn't. I had a wonderful Christmas break and New Year! We even had snow on Christmas Day. But then I went back to work and paid for having such a long break.
I finished stitching Ho Ho Ho the day before Christmas. I still haven't made it into an ornament yet. I was so excited to have such extended stitching time, I just kept on stitching. Here is a picture of Ho Ho Ho.
After I finished that, I worked exclusively on the project for my friend. I made a lot of progress. And for the first time in a long time, I really think I can finish this project. There for awhile I thought it would never happen. No picture of that - I don't want her to see it.
Also I have an update on my December totals:
I stitched 22 days in December for a total of 28 hours and 15 minutes.
Since New Year's I have continued to work on the gift for my friend, which is part of my Flip'n Crazy January Challenge, but since I can't show that one until I'm done...I also wanted to show you what is next up on the Challenge. It's Coffin Buzz from Plum Street Samplers. Here is a picture of where I left off the last time I worked on it. Stay tuned for an update.
