Since these weeks have caused me a bit of suffering, the only way to keep from wrapping my hands around necks was to take a needle and stab some fabric - LOL. As a result, I finished my M Design's "S". This really did finish quick and now I just have to be on the look out for a Joann's coupon so I can get it framed.
I also had the chance to finish an ornament I started earlier this year. It is a portion from the Country Cottage Needleworks pattern Snowflake Serenade. I thought it would make a really cute ornament and I liked stitching it on the sparkly linen.
Of course, when you finish a project (or two!!) you have to start something new. Normally, this time of year, I would grab a Halloween or fall project but I went straight to Christmas. That is VERY odd for me! But, I got the Lizzie Kate Santa Claus Is Coming To Town pattern in the mail last week and I've been itching to get it started. I plan to only stitch the Santa part and again, finish him into an ornament. I found a piece of "mystery" linen in my stash that is a lovely gold color and I think it's perfect! Hoping to get him started this afternoon.
Well, that's about it.....Until we chat again - Be Safe and Have Fun!

That is just beautiful, Yvonne!! A finish is just what the doctor calls for, or should, when stress hits. Hope the weekend and the following week is better to you!
Love your little ornament finish too!
I also would be straight to Halloween Autumn around this time (or a month earlier) but I went to Christmas Ornaments and have stayed there (I am sneaking in a bit of Kindred Spirits and an autumn ornament here and there but it is all about Christmas.)
So strange as I normally can't abide Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving. Maybe I am finally in the zone for my goal of an ornament for every year Marc and I have been together (2005 would be the first, and I have only stitched and finished 2009. 2010 is stitched, and of the handful I have done about half are thematically suitable to be "dedicated" to those intervening years!
I know those weeks (I had one of those days yesterday)! Great finishes and keep on keeping on!
S turned out lovely! congrats on the finish :) love your little snowman ornament too :)
