This has been a layed-back sort of week. I’ve had to work a lot of days going in at 5:00 am. I’ve mentioned before that it really wipes me out to go in that early. So about the only thing I’ve done this week as far as crafting goes is cross-stitching. No, I’ve haven’t worked on “Willie”. If I’d spend all my stitching time on him instead of starting new kits, I’d have him a lot further along than he is. Ya’ll say along with me, “Work on Wil-lie, work on Wil-lie!” Why does my craft projects always wind up becoming UFO’s? (Well, that’s a silly question! Because I’m scatterbrained, me thinks!)
I have finished a couple of kits, however, even if Willie isn’t one of them. I started these snowflake coasters several months ago. Before the rush to get Fair projects done. I’ve got them off the table now. DONE, yea!
I picked up this little picture next. It came with it’s own little mat paper and frame. Isn’t it cute?
I thought I’d just open it up, sort the floss, and get it ready to work on. Then I would go work on Willie. NOT! Didn’t happen! I got the floss separated and thought, “hey, this really might not take too long to work up.” I got to looking at it closer, and before I knew it, I was working on the new kit and almost had it done!! Poor Willie, he must be getting lonesome sitting over there on the table all by himself.
I’ve knitted a few more rows on ‘the sweater’. Good grief! I wish time would go as slow as this sweater is to knit!! But, persistence WILL pay off. (I hope)
I made another batch of each of my blue-ribbon winning cookies for my friends’ last day at work. I bought him a nice platter and arranged the cookies all over it, covered it with plastic wrap and got a nice card to go with it. He acted like he liked it and he told me later that his boys actually fought over the cookies!! I’m sure going to miss him. We exchanged e-mails, though, so hopefully we can keep in touch.
I guess that’s it for this week. I just have a few more days to work the 5 am to 2 pm shift, then it’s back to my two days a week for that shift. I’m ready! They gave his shift to a person who’s worked in the office before, so she won’t have very much training at all. Just enough to show her the changes we’ve made.
Keep those fingers busy. See ya next week!

Poor Willie. Work on the poor guy. He makes me sad.
(How was that for a guilt trip? *grin*)
