Finished the cat Santa for my sister early last week, did a quick Christmas stitch from Cedarberry Stitches (Up and Away) and last night, I finished Edwina Gorey - which makes finish #3 in the last week! AND I even picked up my Laura Perin Mardi Gras and did a bit on it.
Of course, stitching so much, I didn't take pictures yet, but will tonight.
I'm on a roll!

Woo-hooo!!!!! You certainly ARE on a roll!
I'm on a bit of a roll myself. Finished four ornament tops in the past week or so (a Margaret Sherry cat and three motifs from Emie Bishop's "Christmas Quilts"), and have started to assemble kits for finishing them up. But that finishing work will wait until next week. I have travel plans for the weekend that involve some small travel stitching, so I've already begun those projects with an eye toward getting them far enough along that they won't take a lot of thinking as I travel/visit.
That, and started the new book by Mary Monica this a.m. That'll be lovely travel reading, too!
The one thing I didn't prepare for this trip is catching DH's nasty head cold/cough. I'm working hard to keep it at bay, with lots of strong, clear tea, hot showers, and my trusty Fisherman's Friends!

Another busy girl - where is travel taking you?
Hmm - forgot to ask the library to get that
I was handing out FF to all the Dads at hockey practice - most hated the taste too much to really give a try, but those who did, are converts.

I thought the Oddfellows had packed up years ago. However, Google pulls up several sites that show that they are very active. It's amazing how many of these old-fashioned Friendly Societies (such as the Rechabites) still thrive even in these days of financial difficulties.
Let me enable a bit more . . . Laura's pieces stitch up very quickly. I even have some 18 count mono I could send you!

The Santa cat is actually a Nancy Coffelt painted canvas - unfortunately, I think it is discontinued, because I can't find it anywhere. I really WILL get my camera out and take a picture tonight (last night the housework got in the way - darn wanting a clean bathroom anyway). However TM, if you do any needlepoint, you might want to look at her stuff:
I agree about the colors. I liked the shapes. The pattern suggests subsituting purple for brown, which I have done. It's actually a very fun stitch.

They still exist here, but the membership is aging.

There was a group from the local Odd Fellows marching in the Remembrance Day parades.
Not quite DD's taste.. But very cute

Speaking of Mardi Gras, when looking through the Needle Show site, I found this:
Glad to here it. They and the Masons do good work.
