Starting the New Year Right

So far 2012 has been great haha. Jeremiah played Xbox Live with friends until 1am that crazy kid haha. One of my geocaching friends has these two great boys. Jeremiah LOVES getting together with them. Unfortunately we don't get to see one another near enough. Anyway they have Xbox live too so Jeremiah and them played the new year in. We counted down for ours and then since they are on Central time we counted down to their new year. Poor kid was exhausted then when he shut it off. It was cute. He had so much fun though. Fred and I watched a love of movies. I also got a lot of stitching done.

This is the top panel for the bottom biscornu in the Biscornu Christmas Tree. It went pretty quickly. The only discouraging part is when you finish you have to do the whole thing again for the bottom panel. I was trying to get it finished for 2011 but didn't make it. I finished it at about 1am of course.

This morning rather than start on the bottom I took a break and I'm working on the Dragon Lady. She wanted to come out and play in the new year. We finished all our new movies yesterday so Fred ran down to Redbox and we got 3 more scary movies to watch. I think we've watched at least 10 movies in the past two days haha. Now the boys are watching Star Wars that Fred got on Blu Ray for Christmas. So I figured I would get my computer time in.

I also picked out my jar for the Totally Useless Stitch A Long -- TUSAL. You keep track of your left over threads (also called Snip-its) and fill up your jar. Every new moon you post a picture of your jar. I think I will leave my threads in there each month and see how much thread I have in 2012 total. I love this jar and it will look cute with threads in it.

I didn't make it out to the sale at my LNS (local needlework shop) today. We have had high winds all day. Of course when you're someone that hates to go outside anyway nasty weather makes you have the perfect excuse to not leave. I have more than enough to keep me busy until I can get the fabric to kit up even more pieces I want to be working on haha.
