In the home stretch...

...on the model I'm currently stitching; I'm hoping to have it finished towards the early part of next week. Karen already has another piece ready to go, but I'm hoping to be able to put in some time on Santa's Village and Blue Jeans and Daisies once I mail this one back.

I did take a day off from model stitching to work on Nora Corbett's Needle Fairy, which looks like it could be a pretty quick stitch:

Since I don't have much stitching that I can show, I thought I'd share a picture of my newest craft room companion, Sabrina:

She has deigned to come downstairs and take over the chair previously enjoyed by Mai Ling and Keishu, who are back home with my mom, and enjoying not being attacked by my Callie kitty! ;D

And here's a cute picture of Gracie, contemplating sushi for lunch:

Right before I snapped this picture, she had her head almost in the bowl; she looks like she's saying "What?! I didn't do anything!". It's even funnier when I see wet paw prints on the counter, after she's done a bit of fishing. :)

Hope everyone has a great stitchy weekend!
