Got a new tablet and have found it hard to take pictures with it.  Am posting pictures of Counted Cross Stitch Stocking Kit by Design Works.  Posting design and what mine looks like so far.

Have started a new project.  Am making a angel stocking for my newest cousin. Will post pictures soon.  Have also completed 1 Christmas design for my Christmas cards but it is not centered so not sure if I am going to use it or not.

Tomorrow starts my vacation.  James and I are off to hotel and then to DC Monday for sightseeing.  My sister has suggested I start making afghans in team colors and sell them.  Think this is great idea and may pick up some yarn tomorrow.  Have done one Xmas card design on dark green fabric and will be starting more tomorrow.

I am going on vacation on 17th of July through the 20th.  I will be returning to work on the 21st.  I hope to get some stitching done on my vacation.  I have done 1 xmas design so far and working on another.  Have cut up my hunter green 14 count aida fabric to do some xmas card designs on.  Just have to choose the designs and make sure I have the threads I need.  Plan to go to In Stitches in Alexandria, VA while on vacation and get fabric to do a stocking for my new baby cousin who was born July 8th.  Have all the threads from a stocking kit but need fabric because I ripped the fabric that came with the kit and messed it up so have to get new fabric.  Hope I can find what I am looking for.  Also hope to make a xmas ornament for my new cousin and another cousin that was born yesterday or will be here today.

I plan to take my xmas designs with me on vacation and work on them sunday night and then will work on them some more on the other days of my vacation at home.  Would like to get some scrapbooking done too on my birthday but not sure if it will happen or not.  /Am working on scrapbook for my daughters and woujld like to have them finished by October in time for their birthdays.

May try to work on my Benji Tiger Kit while on vacation too.  Have no mojo for this project but know it will be beautiful when done so really need to put some stitches in it.

Attached is a picture of the afghan I recently finished.  I call it my crazy afghan because I did not finish every color at the end of a row.  I have given the afghan to my mom for her bed.  My sister wants an afghan in navy blue and white so will have to do some yarn shopping soon.

Finished my crazy afghan a few days ago.  Hope to post a picture tomorrow.  Have given it to my mom to replace the one she has that is about 30 years old and falling apart.  She doesn't need it now because its summer here but it will be great for her this fall and winter.

As for other projects, have done very little on Benji Tiger Kit.  I have, however, done one Christmas card design and started on a second one.  Hope to get 4 Christmas card designs done on red and 4 on green.  Messed up when I cut the red fabric so may have to order more.  Am doing pretty small designs on the red so hope they will work with the cards I got at Michaels.  Need to get the double sided tape tho to do the cards.

Will probably do some stitching on the card designs tomorrow since I am off.  Need to get some motivation to work on the Benji Tiger Kit but haven't had any yet.
