December Progress, January Goals

Well, December was not very productive as far as stitching goes, the issue with the pressure in my eyes is mostly to blame, but then there is the German School Christmas program, getting ready and hosting Christmas day, as well as taking care of mom (and dad), and that left little time for stitching.  January will be better!

As far a s the year goes, I had 81 finishes, and 1135 hours of stitching for the year.  I ended the year with 8 works in progress.

One more finish for the year!

I finished this in the wee hours this morning.   It is this month's EGA Stitch-a-long, and it was rather fun to stitch.  It will be ornamentified at a later date

WIP Wednesday

It's been awhile since I posted a WIP, but that is because there wasn't much progress.  I have been having some trouble with my eyes and the section I am stitching on has a lot of white on white, so that is the reason for the lack of progress.

I did go to see the eye doctor, and I have elevated pressure in my eyes, and he can't find a reason for it.  He ran lots of other tests and everything else is fine, so I have some drops I need to put in each night before bed and hope it takes care of the problem.

Ornaments

The ornaments have now been given and are hanging on the appropriate trees.  The original intention was to make the larger houses for my children and the smaller for my grandchildren.  I was stitching on them awhile ago, when my granddaughter asked what I was doing.  I responded that these were the ornaments they would receive at Christmas to which she replied:  I don't like it!  Well, the problem was that it wasn't pink, so I found a pattern for one with pink in it!  She was delighted!

Merry Christmas

Christmas through the eyes of children is the absolute best way to celebrate!

Some Baking....

I made this "Apple of Your Eye" cheesecake twice in the past few weeks.  One, I took to Thanksgiving at my son's house and the other for the German School staff this past weekend. 

Turned out great both times with no leftovers.
