As a reward I gave myself a four day weekend to recover. I had so, so, so many plans of things I wanted to do and didn't get to most of them. I really wanted to do some blog posting, some stitching, some finishing, some work on the quilt for the baby, plus, clean, do laundry, (not so sure I wanted to do the last two, but let's just say I needed to do them.) I did get some stitching done, and a bit of work on the quilt, but alas, no finishing. In fact, Winter Fling is sitting where I left it weeks ago. However, it looks like it will be winter for quite some time so I hope to get to it soon.
The workload has eased a bit and I must say that I am rested after my four day weekend. I left work early on Wednesday and napped the afternoon away. I guess I needed to do that!
Somewhere in all this time the calendar page turned over to February. And as I had hoped I did put away a January project partially stitched. This is how the January Cottage of the Month looked when I tucked it away until next year.

And I'm ok with that. I told myself that this year would be an experiment in focusing on a particular theme each month. Next year I'll be able to pull this out, it will seem brand new and be able to finish it in very little time. Admittedly, I did put this away late due to my preoccupation with making a living.
I'll share some more tomorrow.
Keep on Stitching!
