The back
I did "dwirling" on it. I did about half of it on New Year's day and then finished it today. I used it as a break from all the culling, sorting, filing and shredding that somehow started this morning with me looking for one simple document and sort of snowballed into a massive file clean out which is a good thing but not what I had planned on.

I'm working on hooking the grey background on Skinny Santa. I set the timer for 20 minutes this morning.
I still have hopes of finishing this in January but twenty minutes a day is not going to cut it.

We went up into the attic on Monday.
The stink bugs were every where. But they're hibernating or whatever it is they do so at least they weren't stinky!
I was concerned about all the children's books that I packed away and all my cross stitch pieces.
Whatever possessed me to store them up there!?-who knows.
Oh wait!
I live in a tiny house with no storage and I probably just lost my mind and did it
and then something happened (life)
and I forgot I even did it....
..yep I think that was it,
outa sight outa mind.
So I'm happy to report that although, we shouldn't have waited until a FREEZING, SNOWY day to do this (better than in the heat of summer, I know)
the books were fine.

| 2 books from MY childhood...oh the memories |
My cross stitch pieces were fine too, I had wrapped them carefully-some are coming out of their frames-I framed them all myself so that's to be expected. The masking tape I used to hold them to the mats lost their stickiness-no biggie.

| not even 1/2 of them |
Those four little dolls in embroidery hoops-the lace around them has yellowed.
I completely forgot I had even made them.

| dated 1990 I was ruthless in my culling of all the other boxs of ******* I've been very strong in not starting any new projects this year and we're already FOUR days into 2012. Whew! I know I'm a pillar of self control. It's going to end soon... I can feel it... sigh. |
