Normal, I like you.

Hey friends! It seems like we were just ringing in the New Year, and that makes if feel like time has flown by.  Except I keep thinking that this January has been one hell of a long month.   Between the holidays and some family illness in Philly, life was topsy-turvy.  But now things are settling into normal routines again and you know...I really like normal.

Normal means that I get time to stitch. A couple weeks ago I almost put all of my Christmas/Winter themed UFO's away.  After the decorations were down, boxed and closeted, I looked at the couple of Christmas-y projects in my basket and I felt....MEH.  But I kept out the two that were closest to completion and I persevered and I may have a couple finishes to show you by the end of this week! 

I'm very close to finishing this PS Winter sampler.  (I made even more progress last night.  Yay Football!) Once this is finished, I'll have stitched Winter Wind and Autumn Leaves.  Won't it be nice to start Spring?  It may be exactly what the doctor ordered!

That's on 32ct. Lambswool linen with a combination of DMC, GAST and WDW threads.  I'll share my thread conversion with you when it's totally done. 

So, this week brings a couple chances to stitch with friends and I'm looking forward to that more than I can tell you!   I've learned that I like to stitch while people are talking, so when I'm stitching alone I usually listen to a podcast or an audiobook.  Except I've been stitching alone so much lately that I'm starting to talk back to the iPad.  Really.  This has to stop.
