Mission Accomplished!

All Crazy 15 pieces have been started.  I do need to take a pic of the last 3 and get them uploaded to my album, which will get done this weekend.  Several of them I think will become Christmas gifts for this year so I'll have some incentive to complete them.  Next year, I expect to have a lot of them in the WIP Challenge!  LOL

I weathered the blizzard of last week just fine, even ending up with 2 "work" snowdays.  Of course, the bosses didn't expect any of us to venture in on Wed morning when it was still snowing and blowing.  With the broken thumb, shoveling is a big problem.  Needless to say, I was still snowed in on Thurs morning and while I was able to clear the snow drifts around my vehicle I still needed to call a plowing service to clear the driveway from the car to the street.  After I was free, I took a trip so that I could blow all the snow off the roof that I can't reach.  It was actually great being at work on Friday and I was busy all day so the day flew by!

Only 1 more week with the plastic cast and then the pin is removed and I can get going on physical therapy.  I'll be more than happy to get rid of this cast.  It is keeping me from trying to bend the thumb (which the pin keeps me from doing anyway) but I'm just sick of having it on.  Patience is a virtue that I'm sadly lacking at the moment!

I did stitch quite a bit on The Sparrow from Tree of Life Samplings last week.  I hadn't touched it since late October and it was great getting it out and working on this beauty again.  I haven't quite decided what I'm going to work on this week yet.  I've been sorting purchased lots of postage stamps for my collection since Saturday - separating those that are already separated from the paper out of the ones that need to be soaked.  I should finish that this evening and then I can get back to some serious stitching time.

I hope you are all doing well.  Thanks for stopping by!
