Tonight I finished my square on Dawn’s Quasi-UFO round robin. I really like the way this little guy turned out… very cute!
Beyond the round robin and my SAL with Dawn (no pics this week, all I did yesterday was backstitch… blah!) I still haven’t been stitching very much. However, I anticipate that will change soon because I got a visit from the stash fairy last week! 
All of the charts I ordered are small to medium-sized and call for overdyes (which I had to order), so once those overdyes get here I predict I will be a stitching machine!
In fact, two of the projects are going to be presents for my niece and nephew. I am planning on stitching Country Cottage Needleworks “Little Ballerinas” for my niece and JBW Designs’ “Choo Choo Train” for my nephew. I hope to have both of these finished by Christmas, so I guess as soon as the floss gets here I better get in gear! 
Oh yeah, be on the look-out for the SBQ this month! I have had some good suggestions that I can’t wait to share.

How appropriate that I finished “Winter Love” by SamSarah Design Studio from the JCS 2007 Christmas Ornament issue just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Actually, I stitched this as part of my 10 Ornies in 500 Days Challenge. This will be turned into a Christmas Ornament for a member of my family. At the moment, I think it will more than likely be for my step-mom, but I haven’t decided for sure so I haven’t personalized it yet.
I envision it as a simple pillow-style ornament, though I am hoping to make it a tuck-pillow ornament. I would like to finish it into the ornament sometime soon, but it will really depend if I can find some appropriate fabric.
There isn’t much of a fabric selection out here in West Texas Town, so I am considering looking to see if I can find some sort of fabric shop online. I figure that with all the quilters out there, there are just as likely to be OQSs as there are ONSs, right? 
And with this finish, I am afraid I can put it off no longer… “Above the Clouds” must be next in my rotation.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
