2. ornie SAL with the kiwi ladies - yes, Britty Kitty ornie
3. continue on with the Mermaids - yes
4. gift for friend's birthday - yes, Be Happy by Shepherds Bush
5. a "just because" gift for a friend - yes, Sweetheart Tree's Friendship
6. make a start on the 12 Blessings of Christmas - no, not yet
7. Drawn Thread Thursday's - yes

I started stitching on my needleroll tonight. Whew. I have never stitched on jobelin before. It's so tiny. lol I feel like an old woman. I have started a stitching blog of my very own so that I don't have to gum up your comment board with my progress. It's @ www.groggyfroggy.blogspot.com.
Lisa btw...you are a wonder. I can't imagine getting through that many finishes.

Katrina...I forgot to add...could you put a list on your blog of the people who have joined in the Needleroll SAL, so I can keep up with their progress. (just so I can make a note of the links) I am stitching Violet Roll by Shepherds Bush for the record. Yes thats right I'm in. LOL

Loved your needle-rolls Katrina - you and Kath have quite an addiction! LOL

You've certainly been a stitching machine the last month - really nice finishes too :)

Finally I can read some blogs and I'm seeing your needle rolls. They're really lovely, Katrina.

Happy Birthday Katrina! I hope my gifts arrive soon :-) I think I am a day late here - I keep forgetting you are about a day ahead of me! Therefore, hope you had a great day!

Katrina, just wondering whether you have the M Designs Sun Needleroll chart ... if not, do you want a copy? I ended up with two copies, so have one spare if you want it :) If so, just drop me a line at shakatak@iinet.net.au :D
