nov. 22 - where has the time gone?

I can't believe how long it has been since I have made a proper post here at my blog. I vaguely remember trying to post every day in October and I was good for awhile, but then everything just got away from me and I have been in limbo ever since!
I am very late with this, but here is my TUSAL for this month. This jar may actually be full by the end of the year!


And I have been doing some stitching, but it has all been for exchanges, so I can't show any pics yet. I'm hoping to get most everything in the mail tomorrow though, so I should be able to post some pics soon.

One exchange that I can show is from the last round of the Christmas Ornament Exchange that I am participating in. I received this lovely ornament from Faye...it is a Quaker Christmas design from The Workbasket. I have actually stitched this for someone else and have always been wanting to do one for myself...but now I don't have to! And Faye has finished it beautifully. Thanks again Faye!


And I heard that my partner received the ornie that I stitched as well. It is "The Merry Stitcher" from Homespun Elegance. I stitched it on a neutral linen using the threads called for. The only one I replaced was the Whisper thread because I didn't have that on hand.


My daughter is flying in tonight from Boston to spend Thanksgiving with us. I think she really wants to see Asher and the furbabies the most, but I'll take what I can get!
Thanks for visiting!
