Christmas aftermath and Happy New Stitching Year

Well, it's been almost a week and I'm just now recovering from the Christmas explosion in my house. Dad and Mom: in bed by 1 am. Dad and Mom up at 7 am....not a pretty sight. But this is what we woke up to:

Five very anxious kids to raid the front room to see what the goods were. And raid they did...as I sat out of the video camera view. Trust me you do NOT want to see this in the morning. DD in the pink was feeling much better. Still coughing but feeling much better. Thanks for the kind thoughts for her. :-)

Even little Smokey Cat dove into his new crab catnip dinner. He was quite pleased with Santa Paws visit.

Indiana Jones (Lego style) had a blast exploring the My Little Pony fun park...this is how brothers torment their sisters with their new Christmas presents.


I had to share what my DH surprised me with. Well I DIDN'T get any stitching stuff (bad Daddy....) but this little thing made up for it ten fold. This is my 'Poomse to Go'. He bought this from Master Shinn and it has every single Poomse (form) on it, with ALL the terminology on it (in English with a Korean translation), one step sparring forms, and all self defense moves. Plus it has a camera on it, a MP3 player, radio...and it cuts tomatoes in one thin slice. I tried to take a pic for you with Master Shinn doing my black belt Poomse called Koyro. MAJOR AWESOMENESS! I would say that makes up for stitchy stuff.



Lizzie*Kate's Christmas 2007 Kit Ho Ho Ho
As promised, it is finished! Now what to do with it. Stitch A Gift has a banner for it, but I'm not 100% sold yet on it. Pondering time.


After finishing the last Lizzie Kate, I'm in a LK mood so I started and finished the same day one of the Be Blox ornaments. I added the bow to the wreath. I thought it looked better with it instead of nothing. Sorry for the blurry picture.


Last night while watching the bowl games, I started the Be Merry (the other to the Be Blox). What quick stitches these are! I've contacted Mona Bost (Lizzie Kate's finisher) and she will be putting a finishing kit together for me for these little guys.
Here's wishing you and yours a very Happy (and safe) New Year! I'm off to stitch and watch movies with the kids until Midnight! (Let's see who outlasts whom! lol) Until 'next' year...sorry bad joke.

Happy New Year, Lori! You Christmas finishes are great. I never saw those LK Be Blocks. I'll have to look for them. We had a quiet night, too. It was icy here, so we were better off staying home rather than being on the roads with the party crowds. I'm glad that DD is feeling better.
