My Thoughts on Life and Family and Where Every Stitch is a hope, a dream, a smile, a prayer, a good thought.

Christmas Finish!

The past few days have been hectic here and I have barely put in any stitches in Coffee. Hopefully tonight, I will be able to sit and stitch those one stitch here and there and then move onto one of the bigger color sections that are next. But I did have the time yesterday to finish 12 Days of Christmas into a cube. I am quite proud of myself with how it turned out. This will sit on our new mantle at Christmas time. I will be sure to take a picture when Christmas decorating time rolls around.

Here is the front:

And here is a picture of the back. I really like the fabric I picked out and have some left if I decided to do anymore Christmas cubes this year.

Things are starting to settle down with school and stuff and we are slowly getting into a routine. Now I can concentrate on getting my house in some type of order. My plan for today is to start de-junking my daughter's room. I bought her new bedding and we decided to make her room more pre-teen so today I will be packing up her special stuffed animals and DH will put them and her rocker into the attic to make more room for maybe a bookcase or something else in her room. I know this is going to be at least a 2-day job. Everything has to be cleaned out and that includes closets, dresser, night table and so on. Then I will start DS's room next week. We are going to be buying him new furniture in the near future so I want to start clearing out his room for that. I have a feeling in the coming days I will need my stitching to keep my sanity.

Have a great day everyone!

That is absolutely beautiful Mia, go you!! If only I could finish even a tiny FRACTION as well as you, I'd be happy. :)

It sounds like you're getting really organised. You will feel great when it's all done.
