I continued working on Hinzeit's Fancy Mini Block USA after midnight. I tried going to sleep around 1:30am but finally gave up when I was still awake at 3:00. Since I was wide awake I went back to stitching on USA. After sleeping from 9am til 4:30 this afternoon, I started on USA once again. At 8:07pm I put the last stitch in and I was done putting the charms on by 8:30. USA is my 45th stitching finish of 2008! My total stitching/sewing finishes for this year is up to 55 now. I'm still not sure how I will finish-finish it, but I'm happy to have another project completed from my stash.


This is the beginning of The Sweetheart Tree's Friendship. I've had this kit in my stash for quite some time and decided to stitch on it because Friendship is one of the things this time of year is all about. I think I'm going to frame this so that when I finally move into my apartment, I can put it in the foyer. The verse that is stitched over-one in the middle is "Friendship is the thread that binds two hearts together" I love it, and it's so appropriate for me. I'm very excited to see this stitched up. I may even try to find another finishing technique to make it even more special. Suggestions, anyone??
