I'm almost done with the digging lab bone. It was put on hold because I wanted to order some Swarovski crystals for the tree ornaments and because I had to finish a book on negotiations for work. Now that my crystals are in and my book is finished. It's time to dig in and finish this piece.

Almost Done and New Start
Hello! I'm trying to re-start my blog and realized that I never published this post from June of 2015. Lots has happened..... enjoy!

Finishing changes
I got these back from the finisher and they are adorable! But the hangers were out of proportion with the dresses and sweaters.
So I went online and asked the Facebook needlepoint group where to go to purchase different black, wire doll hangers. The Country Porch had exactly what I was looking for- a 3" hanger. And look at the difference.

More finishes
In Midland, I have a housekeeper, which is something I plan to replicate on Houston when I get back. It's been really nice to be able to needlepoint on the weekends and not worry about cleaning beyond just straightening up.
This is what I have accomplished: lots of little pieces but I've loved clearing these out of my stash.

Camp Allen Canvas sale
It's that time of year again! Time for the annual Camp Allen stash sale! I love this sale because every single cent goes towards scholarships to send kids to camp.
This is my haul from this year.

Midland Needlepoint
For the past few months, I've been on a temporary assignment in Midland, Texas. I'm living in a corporate apartment and I love it! It's fully furnished and I've been able to travel on the weekends to Carlabad Caverns, Monahans Sand Dunes State Park, and most relevant, Lubbock to visit Pocket Full of Stitches. This store is the best! All sorts of threads and canvases and books. I got this cute little Associated Talents bunny there and finished it in no time.
My first month in Midland, I finished this piece too. It's number two of five in a Christmas carol series.
And this cute one! It's a Barbara Bergsten canvas I got from the Needleworks in Austin in 2013, but wanted since 2010! It's perfect.
I'm also almost done with this Stitch It's Sweater.

Starting the new year off right!
This year, I've resolved to be a better blogger, among other things. So in that vein, it's fitting my first post should be on the 1st.
I have lots of new canvases to show, but the pictures didn't turn out so well because of all of the grey Texas days we've been having.
Until I get the pictures, here is a progress picture of one of my petei nativity canvases.
