Ah, at last the Christmas season is over. I hope everyone had a nice time. Mine was quietly spent. My sister came into town to visit, which was nice since I hadn't seen her since last year. I didn't have to work Christmas Eve or Day, thank goodness.

Trying not to let work get me down too much, with varying degrees of failure success. Customers of any stripe are always much bitchier during the holidays. My new-hire probationary period is over though, which makes things a bit easier since now I can take advantage of getting to leave early during slow periods. Yays. Because jebus knows I want to avoid working if at all possible.



It's been ages since my last progress pic. After I got hired at my new job, I was too tired to work much on it when I got home(boo to morning training classes), so I didn't touch it for several months. I picked it back up again in September after getting inspired by the cross stitch entries at the State Fair. I really want to finish this so I can enter it next year, but I'm not sure it will get done by then. It is sooooo slooooow going.

Also, have a frilly picture of Gish.

Oh, Gish, be still my heart. I just love her so much!

I'm so glad you've been doing more needlework - it's incredible, and your dedication to it and the freaking *results* just blow me away.

I'm not allowed near needles because I puncture myself with them and choke on the thread and trip over the fabric and dislocate my joints when they get hung in the hoops and so forth. It's just bad. So I especially love seeing your work!

I'm glad you like it. ^_^ It's less a sense of dedication though and more having a generally OCD type personality. I find it very relaxing to do (and if I didn't have needlework to distract me while at work, I'd probably be even crazier), getting a pretty result is just the cherry on top.
