Work

Haven't done much on the stocking today. I'm sure I'll do some tonight. I've been too busy working on getting one of the "big opps" on PayPerPost, which I did!! I was very excited to get that $100 opportunity. They'll be giving away a $500 later, but I decided it would be better to go ahead and grab the $100 than to get greedy and try for an opp that I might or might not get. I'm thrilled with my $100 and I can't wait to decide what to spend it on!!

We Three Kings

I'm going to start this stocking today, right after I finish writing this blog, actually. A lady from Virginia is paying me to stitch this one to go with the one she paid me to stitch for her mom's birthday that I just got finished with. I think this one might stitch up quicker than that one. Of course, I have longer to finish, too. She doesn't need this one until around Christmas. I guess as long as she has it in time to sew them both up, it'll be fine. I'm shooting to have it done by Thanksgiving, if not sooner. I'm going to stick in rotation, so I don't get burned out. Wish me luck!

A New Endeavor

I'm almost finished with the Baseball block of my afghan, and when I'm done, I intend to start on the new stocking that I'm going to be paid to do. I'm going to try rotating some projects along, so I don't get so burned out. So, for the time being, I'll be rotating the stocking, the sports afghan, the Hummingbird Trellis afghan and maybe another afghan for Alyssa (possibly the angels, or perhaps the butterflies). And, if something else comes up that I want to do, I'll add it. I have spaces for 7 WIPs (which for those of you non-stichers, means "Works In Progress"), so I'll have plenty of open spots! :)

Oops!

I forgot to post last week when I finished Block 15 of the hummingbirds. Well, I did, and now I'm working on the "Baseball" block of my sports afghan. I intend to work on this until Friday or until I'm finished, whichever comes first. If I get finished before Friday, I'm going to pull out a bookmark I'm going to do for my friend, Loretta. It's a model of hers and I've had it FOREVER, needing to finish it. If she weren't my friend, she would have SO kicked my butt!! If I take a break on Friday before I finish the block, I'm going to pull out Kim's second stocking and spend the weekend working on it. I'm going to start rotating so I don't get bored.
