This has been a busy, crazy month for me, but I did manage to get stitching done and some pieces finished, as well as, getting some work done in the yard.
I finished up this ornament last nite while watching the Oscars - so now I have my February ornament done - need to pick what I will stitch for my March ornament.

I have managed to also knit and crochet two more wash/dishcloths. This is also another goal of mine for this year - a wash/dishcloth a month.

Now I have finally finished BBD's Tis the Season!!! I started this last year in hope of having it done for Christmas 2010 - WELL, it didn't happen, but it is finished now and I just love it.

The Cardinal is just so beautiful and it was a fun area to stitch, the leaves on the other hand where not my favorite things to work on.

I brought the sewing machine down to the kitchen because I had a lot of machine work to do and I needed to work on the machine inbetween cooking and doing other household things.

Now here is Blackie - one of the outside feral cats, she is watching the birds on the ground eating the seeds that fell from the feeder.

Well, I must say if you have managed to stay with me on this post - thank you!!! As I have said in the past, my computer time is so limited now that I am working, that I needed to get in as much as I could in this one shot. I am able to read blogs sometimes during work, but I am not always commenting - do not want to push my luck!!!
Thanks for stopping by - Enjoy the week ---- Roberta
