I was very happy to be able to take some vacation days between Christmas and New Year’s - from noon on Dec. 23rd until the morning of Jan. 3, 2012, I was free! Ten days of laziness, oh yeah!!! The problem was that, of course, I was hoping to be productive at least some of that time, and it is realistic to say that, what with family time and friend time and not-getting-out-of-my-pajamas time, I was productive almost none of that time. Such a sad story.
But there was a little highlight: while I lounged around, watching all of season one of Supernatural, I also finished #11, a piping piper, from my long, long, long-term Christmas cross-stitch project.
Cute, isn’t he?
Now all I need to do is find some spare time to take care of one little drumming drummer, then do the backing for all 12 of the little doodads, then either frame them or turn them into ornaments, all before Dec. 25, 2012. Sounds doable, but I make no promises.
