January Giveaway Winner & Sundry Other Stuff

And the winner is Nancy of Glory Bee. Everyone had a 1 in 5 chance of winning since there were very few participants. But I think karma was operating here since I had recently won a back issue of SANQ from Nancy ... and now I'll be sending her some nautical charts.

On the stitching front, I got very little else done since Monday was an 11 hour workday and since I have another 11 hour workday on Tuesday and a parish advisory board meeting on Wednesday evening, it seems those will be long days as well. So, all in all, not a good week for stitching ... at least, not at the beginning.

After starting my Day 10 project, I reverted to Day 7, and photocopied the stitching finish of the Connecticut heart so I could enlarge it slightly and make cardboard backings for a flat padded ornament. When I got home from work, I glued some heavy duty interfacing to the cardboard. Tomorrow morning, before heading out to work, I will select some fabric for the back and get started on my ornament finish. Then I will have to move on to my Day 11 start.

You have picked some really pretty charts to work on. It's hard to put them aside, but at this point, we're just putting them down for a few more days. It's just like a little weekend vacation from them. It's been a little easier for me if I have my ornament WIP nearby to tempt me.
