The End of the Holiday Season

It seems as the holiday season is over. I had a lovely afternoon today with some of my friends that I have made through my ega guild. We stitched, ate, laughed, ate, exchanged presents and ate some more. It was so much fun!! And I was certainly spoiled. I am a lucky person to have made such nice friends because of our common love of needlework. Thank you ladies!!
Our house is a wee bit quieter this evening our DD moved out earlier this week and the grandpuppies went to the new place today. I hope they all enjoy it and our adjusting nicely.
On the stitching front I have continued to work on my Christmas Mantel:

I really should be starting on a correspondence course for ANG but I just can't put this one down. It is a fun and cute stitch.
Well I hope that you all and a safe and blessed New Year and hope that 2011 is full of blessings for everyone.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,
Karol
