Hello Friends!
I got lots of stitching done this weekend. Three day weekends are great. My son had the day off from school so I was forced to take the day off too. I'm glad I did. I got to work on several projects this weekend.
First up is my Santa Ornament I started last month for the Christmas All Year Around SAL Blog.
This really isn't everything folks. I'll have you know that I also made a Birthday Card and did some handquilting on my quilt too. Not bad crafty progress for a three day weekend huh?
Editor Note: I am such a blonde. This post was also meant to count towards the February WIPocalypse. Duh! :D
I hope you have a fabulous week. Thank you for visiting and for your wonderful comments. :)

Next up, I worked on my Thomas Kinkade WIP. I figured out a way that makes this project seem a little less daunting after all. The chart is completely black and white so it makes the symbols hard to read. I didn't like using a highlighter on my chart since it bled on the paper too much. Instead, I started using a red pen to cross off the symbols I've stitched already. As crazy as it sounds, that made a big difference for me. Seeing those red x's gives me a feeling of accomplishment and new motivation to keep working on this project. Now it doesn't seem so scary and burdensome.

Third up! I started my BAP for 2012 for BeckySC's BAP Challenge. I'm doing Little House Neighborhood by Little House Needleworks.
Starting Progress: A Roof :)

Love how you show the process, not just the final product. Just popping in to say hi from the FWS QAL.

You did make great progress on your WIP's! That Santa is too cute. I have several Kincade charts in my collection, but I am still to timid to start them. Hope that your red marks helps you with it!
