I had started working on Mary Wigham many moons ago but it's been hiding in a drawer for almost a year now. Here's the progress...
I made these bookmarks as little going away presents for my parents...My Dad has been in New Zealand now for over a year. My Mom left this past March.




I made this King Kamehameha cross stitch for George, who was born in Hawaii and goes back every year for his birthday...
This was for Rebekah, a friend from high school...
This was sent to Dave, a Halloween-a-holic...
I made this photo holder for baby William...
This was for Maggie, Jeremy's cousin...
And this went to cooking enthusiasts - and newlyweds - John and Melissa. So that technically makes 6 things. So sue me! :)
This saucy bookmark I gave to my brother for Christmas. He uses it to mark his place in school books. Hehe...
I tried my hand at making oilcloth tote bags this Spring. It was definitely a first attempt. I wasn't super thrilled with how they turned out - so "not-thrilled" that apparently I didn't take any pictures of them. I guess I'll have to do that now. Buuuuut, I did use the bags as an opportunity to make K+IC fabric tags!! Just fold them in half and sew them into a seam. I love them.
And, in 2010, I am proud to say I finally put some more stitches into my Cigar Box Art WIP. There's even been more progress since I took the picture below...
I did take a break from that to make a wedding card for my childhood friend, Val. She and her husband met in Baltimore. Awwwww...
And last but not least - drum roll please - I present to you my CURRENT WIP... a sweet little Sailor Jerry hula girl bookmark for my BFF, Jeremy. Don't mind her tiny arm, it's much larger now. She even has the makings of a head. I am stitching it over one on black 32 count. I know I'm crazy. But it's almost finished. There's no turning back now.










So I hope you've enjoyed my sprint through the past year and don't feel too abandoned. I am alive and well and hope to take much better care of my blog from now on...
... fingers crossed.
