I hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Yes, I finally finished "A Good Day". I can't remember when I started it (among a couple of others I started at the same time). I hadn't been stitching that much on anything(no mojo I guess) until I got back from Texas over Memorial Day weekend (which was awesome!)then all of a sudden a big gust of wind caught my sail and off I went!<br />

I definitely need tips on taking photos! It's hard to see the colors. I stitched this ornament with DMC variegated floss which is different than the variations. It's the first time to try these threads....</div>

Ok....I'm diving in...feet first! I never could dive hands first, I needed one hand to hold my nose, ha! I've already started the 2013 Feb Ornament by STNA, not enough to show yet but here's a picture of what it looks like. The second one is " A Good Day" by The Sunflower Seed and the third is "Dance of the Tulips" by Cheryl Granda. Wish me luck!</div>
