HAED Rotation

HAPPY NEW YEAR

DH & I actually managed to stay up until midnight last night to ring in the New Year. At 5 minutes past midnight I put the first stitches into my Jan 1st start Reading by Firefly Light a Randal Spangler piece by HAED.
This is a SAL with my friend Evalina and also part of a challenge on a couple of my yahoo groups Stitching Sisters & The Stitcherhood.  For both I will be counting page finishes rather than a full finish.
I also finished a week in rotation on Train of Dreams. I really enjoy this one when it comes up in my rotation.
We had a great Christmas. Very quiet which was good for me. My son Matt & his girlfriend Becky(who I love to death) came on Christmas Eve. They had spent Thanksgiving here so had to go to her family for Christmas. Then on Christmas Day my daughter Sabrina & her husband JR & my other daughter Jessica & her boyfriend Nic (who I also love) came for dinner & gifts. All in all a very enjoyable holiday.

I have joined the 2012 WIPocalypse so will be posting about that once a month. Also Daffycats TUSAL which is also supposed to be posted about once a month. I had joined last year but never could remember to take the picture. Hope to do better this year.

I collect Santa's & Santa cross stitch charts. I made out on both counts this year. My DH & DD got me a beautiful Clothtique Santa & my friend Lucy from another group I belong to One over Oners RAKd me with A Portrait of Father Xmas from HAED.




Pictures for today are in order from top to bottom (or however Blogger let's me post them).
Train of Dreams taken last Sunday before the week in rotation.

That's all folks
