One down, 14 to go....

....Well, as far as my WIP list goes. I keep finding more WIPS I had forgotten about!!

Last night, I did get my first WIP finished. My needlecase which was a project with my EGA chapter. I still need to do the "finishing", but the stitching is all done.

Now it's time to put some stitches in a couple of Christmas stockings. I did put some stitches in Rocky Mountain Christmas, as I'm in an SAL for that one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Good Morning Ladies,

Well, it will be Good Night for me in an hour or so (yes, I'm a late-night person). I've watched the ball drop in NYC, and am stitching on one of my challenge pieces. It's the needlecase which was a project with my EGA chapter in 2004. I"m hoping to finish the red in the Texas tonight before I call it a night.
