I have been stitching some. Not as much as I would prefer, but enough to finish the Mary Heaton section of the Dear Diary Sampler.
And here is a picture of the whole sampler to date.
Also, about a week ago, I purchased a skein of Crescent Colors Apple Fritter. I usually just buy the threads that a design calls for, but when I saw this one, it just called to me. I wanted to try it out on something small. Anyway, when I got home, I searched through some freebie patterns, and chose to stitch this Noel design by gazette94 . I love the color and I think that I am going to use it on a larger design that I have plans for later in the year.

Great progress on Dear Diary :o) love the red floss. It looks great with the chart from Claire.
Dear Diary is looking lovely. Very nice progress.
I am so sorry that 2008 was a difficult year for you. My New Years wish for you is a year filled with love and lots of laughter.
Dear Diary looks great.... I recognize the different motifs on the design, but I didn't realize tha they were all meant to go together... it looks great!
Your Dear Diary is wonderful! I love it! And your Noel finish is very pretty too :)
Hi, I just discovered your blog - it looks like you're in the Ft. Worth area - I'll be relocating there (from the Chicago area) mid-year.
You're making great progress on your Dear Diary sampler. I've stitched most of the designs individually, but I'd love to have a piece where they are all stitched as part of one, larger piece.
Happy New Year!
I have never seen the Dear Diary pieces done all as one. I love that! And who could resist a color called Apple Fritter. When I have a little extra cash I like to buy new floss colors with yummy names that I can't resist!
Happy New Year!
Dear Diary looks great and looks like there's not much left to go.

Your Dear Diary Sampler is really coming along. It looks great! Thanks very much for the link to the Noel freebie. I'm really starting to enjoy the patterns by the French designers.
