Finally got this finished. I know, its not much and should not have taken me 5 days but the directions for finishing made this turn out smaller than the opening so I had to dig out my cord maker to make some trim to fill the space.

Dancing until the cows come home...

Never did quite under stand that saying but it seems I've been doing the happy dance a lot lately :) Here is my completed Jim Wurth dodecagon, #5 Hearts and Flowers. Despite the unseasonably warm weather I was found watching movies and stitching much of the day today and managed to get this one finished up, Yay!! I also did work on an ornament for the Christmas Ornament Stitch along but I haven't quite finished that one up. I may yet do that tonight if I still feel like stitching. Hope you all had a great weekend! :)

So, totally hoping this was not the direction of this ride.  Can someone tell the operator I want off?  I went from working 3 days per week, to back to a normal shift with overtime. A few more weeks and they sent me home with all my hardware so my commute is down to 32 seconds.  Traffic still sucks, only now its dogs following me and complaining I am not sharing breakfast. This is what I have to put up with, I'm being judged for not sharing a banana.   We also have an afternoon dinner dance every day.  It starts around 2:30pm and dinner is served at 5pm.  Riley is perpetually starving and may die at any moment despite having plenty extra snacks stored on his fuzzy butt.

The model piece photographed for Needlearts, the beads look jumbled and messy to me.  I like

Tada! I did the finishing stitches on my lunch break yesterday. I LOVE the finished look on this one. I brought it to my Monday stitch group and everyone was drooling over the colors and stitches :) I had taken it in when it first arrived, as that's where I first heard about it. One of the ladies wanted all of us to order them and stitch them together but that fizzled. They all love the 2 I've done so far but its just not the "style" of a few of them I guess for lack of a better way to put it. One, for example, primarily does very whimsical designs which this certainly is not so I wouldn't expect her to want to stitch this one. Last night they were asking me what colors the next one would be, umm... heck if I know, I've only seen the 3 in the advertisement and that still doesn't tell me much other than the fact that I will see the other 2 designs at some point. ;) Guess I could have taken my photo in a "portrait" format so they'd line up
