A big catch up!

I've been very slow in my stitching. I'm so sorry. I am a bookkeeper and needless to say the last few months have been very busy preparing for tax season. While I don't prepare the actual end of year taxes myself, I do a ton of data entry and account verifications for my boss, so no rest for the weary. :-) As soon as tax week was over I had company fly in that weekend. They just left this morning. While she was here I was able to do quite a bit of stitching while watching movies and playing board games. So, I am finally up to date on my SAL!!!

Here are my results:
