May update, IHSW, and TUSAL weekend

I finally have my first Happy Dance of 2012!!  I finished this Saturday, May 5th.  But forgot to post a photo.

I'm still working on Stitcher's Days of Christmas.  It was the International Hermit Stitching Weekend (IHSW).  I didn't stitch as much as I wanted to, but here is my progress.

 Before photo of the first day of Christmas hatbox.

After photo of the finished hatbox.  I still have the green words under the hatbox, and the second day of Christmas.

 I hope to have it finished by the end of May.

I ordered 2 new patterns a few weeks ago from my LNS "Stitcher's Place" http://www.stitchersplace.com/ .

I have put them on my 2013 project list, but it will depend on how many projects I complete by the end of this year.  My list changes throughout the year.

My ORTs for May are on the TUSAL page.
