I made good progress on the mermaid mirror frame. But I see a big problem in the not so distant future. I have only one more strand of the floss called Smooth Operator Alibi. That is the color needed for the seed stitch. I don't think it will be enough to do the area I have left. I guess I will have to order some from Amy Mitten.
I finish-finished the Never Far Apart stocking. I lined it with material similar to the backing fabric. Too bad there wasn't enough backing fabric left over to use for the lining. But it turned out okay. I usually put cording on the edge but this is a small stocking and I didn't think it needed it.
I went through a bunch of stuff I have looking for a chart and was reminded that I have too much stuff. More stash than life expectancy. I came across so many things that I really want to stitch. I shouldn't buy anything else - ever. Don't worry, that won't happen.
I loved having an extra hour last night. It was light when I went walking. I know it will be hard tonight when it gets dark sooooo early.

Cute stocking. I'm in the same boat on stash. We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg last weekend and I had to go to Haus Tirol after seeing that you went. They had several of the JBW ornaments stitched up and they are sooooo cute, I couldn't resist. I've admired the charts online for a while but seeing them in person did me in. Mind you, I do NOT need anymore Christmas ornament charts and I really do NOT need anything at all. We are collectors, too. That is my collection, it just doesn't sit out pretty on a shelf until I actually stitch it ;)
