All the way across the ocean

 I meant to post about this lovely delivery when it came, but it slipped my feeble mind. Anyway, some lovelies from Allison Cole landed on my doorstep last week.

The new book from Inspirations. I would love to stitch every single pin cushion in the book. Would I ever stick pins in any of them? Nope. You don't stick pins in works of art.

Baby Girl's birthday present, which is why it's still in the sealed wrapper, making it difficult to see what it is. What it is is a stitched dragonfly atop a pretty box. The stitching must be done, and Baby Girl likes to stitch--but the deal is that if she reads over the directions and thinks it's a technique she isn't comfortable with, I'll do the stitching and she'll still get the box.

This year's Christmas ornament. I don't believe it will grace the tree this year, but I could surprise myself.

I am leaning towards putting everything I have going aside and just working on Christmas projects for awhile. I'm still arguing with myself about it, so we'll see whether me, myself, or I prevail.
