STU Finished!

I found a little time to blog after all. That's only because I'm such a procrastinator and I am putting everything off to the last minute (as always). :)

I got the cookies baked - I made Swedish Pepparkakors (my grandma's recipe) for Bradley's heritage day. They turned out really good. Bradley and I are the only ones that like them though. They have a lot of spice (ginger and cloves).

I also got STU finished on Sampler of Stitches. There are some mistakes, mainly in the couching section, but I'm leaving them (at least for now). I don't have the time (or patience) to pull out anything and redo at the moment.

Well, now, I really need to get packing and get going. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! :)
