Still Sick but Busy

This is the longest flu, I have had. But, on the bright side, if it is the swine flu, I can relax and not worry the rest of the winter;)
I have been working on a punched project for a special friend and today I made a teeny tiny stocking for a group challenge we were doing today. I think it took me longer to stitch this, then to punch one;) The pattern was in an old issue of good housekeeping. It is two inches long, so I will add it to a christmas doll display.



I have also been blessed with good friends who send me special presents, just because they are nice.Lori sent me a wonderful package today. I love the pumpkin and mat she made for me. The picture is in my kitchen, but I have it on my apothecary box, which it is perfect for. I also won prizes this week, I have no idea where that luck is coming from, never had it before, lol. So, when I receive the gifts, I will share them with you. Since I have been blessed so much this week, I will be having a contest this week. A little hint, it is a signed copy;) So, keep your eyes open for the contest.

    I started a little project using a Primitive Betty's freebie, and I chuckled because I think it's definitely quicker to punch than x-stitch. Lucky you with the mat and pumpkin. Your stocking is very cute, and I hope you feel better soon! Hugs, Sam

    Love your gifts. Just beautiful! Keep your feet up and get better real soon. Do some more stitching while just sitting. Sorry it has knocked you for a loop, but hope it's the last one you'll get this season!

    that is so very sweet! I hope you get better soon - we too have had such a winter of colds and flus and bronchitis! ugh! hope whatever you have provides you with some jolly good protection over the cold months to come.
