Notes:  Instead of having a birthday start, I had a birthday finish.
I will be sending this to The Vintage Stitcher to fully finish into a drum.

 This morning I started fully finishing one of the Little House of Needleworks Winter Petites and an old freebie from Heart In Hand called I Am Home.  I had them all measured out so this morning I sewed them together.  I think I will take some time tomorrow and turn them right side out and stuff them.  I am going to make the I Am Home part of Bob's Valentin gift.

Little House of Needleworks - Winter Petites

 My husband gave me this chart for Christmas.  I decided I would like to finish three of the designs to display in my winter trough.  Well, I finished one yesterday afternoon.  I only plan on doing 2 of the three remaining.  I don't like the angel.
