Others Just Don't Understand

I've been plugging away on "Tree Farm," but over the weekend, I needed a break and decided to work on a small ornament that's a WIP. My youngest daughter, who's 6, saw me working on it and asked me if I finished the house (referring to Tree Farm). When I said no, she asked, "Then why are you working on something else?"

Well, January got off to a good start until I came down with the flu the day after my last post. I was completely down for a week and even after that, I didn't feel like doing a lot of stitching. Then, I was preparing for my annual scrapbooking weekend at the end of January, so that cut into my stitching time. But I'm back on track now, continuing with "Tree Farm." You can see my progress below (some of the yellow stitches in the windows are hard to see in the photo).

Also, just before the scrapbook weekend, I got together for lunch with friends and received these lovely goodies from my bestie as my birthday present. I love them all and can't wait to get started on them!
