Some days are just satisfying. Today is one of them. I have gotten so much done, not the least of which is finishing off Sweetheart Tree's Irish Blessing Sampler which I started in May for a wedding in June but then totally got sidetracked on. The beadwork took a lot longer than I expected but that was ok because I watched 2 movies (the Holiday and Prime) while I was doing it. In between, I got some cleaning done too so all in all a satisfying day!

I also "transplanted" things from the stitching journal I started a couple of weeks ago into a larger book since the one I had wasn't going to shut and I only had three projects in there. I will use that book for a journal eventually so no harm, no foul! I am glad to have started this journal and wish I had done it a long time ago. It is so nice to have pictures and information all together. I always end up forgetting what thread I used or fabric after a while and it's nice to know those things. who knows, maybe it'll be famous some day! :-)
