Hello dear friends, I hope your Christmas was merry! After much preparation, the day always seems to pass with the blink of an eye :) And while I love the lights and decorations and sounds of Christmas...after being surrounded by it all for an entire month, I'm always ready to get back to "normal". So yes, I'm one of those crazy people who pack everything up the day after!
But before old Father Time arrives, I have a few final Christmas finishes to share. The final ornament of 2008, and I think my favorite :)

And these gorgeous ornaments were stitched and finished by my sister! She just learned to stitch a couple of months ago...can you believe it??? I just can't tell you how exciting it is to me that she has taken up stitching!!!
And this was the final knitted gift...the always useful, happily received dishcloths with a couple of festive dishtowels.
I have more finished things to share, so be sure to come back! And my regular blog reading and commenting will commence too :) Wishing you all a very happy and safe New Year's...see you in 2009!!!

I LOVE your Family and Friends ornament. That is what Christmas is about for me and why we fly home.
Very nice gifts. Your dishcloths look very festive.
Wishing you a New Year filled with stitchy happiness.
Staci, your Christmas tree is fabulous! I love your ornament and your sister is doing such beautiful stitching and finishing already! That talent must run in the family. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year!
The ornaments are really beautiful. Isn't it great to have a stitching sister? I can't believe that she learned to stitch so shortly ago - and has already finished such beautiful ornaments. Congratulations to her!
What nice ornaments!
Everything is so pretty!
Happy New Year!
All the ornaments look wonderful and the dishcloths look very cheerful!
How lovely that your sister is stitching too, and her ornaments look amazing.
Have a Happy New Year Staci to you and your family.
I hope you had a merry Christmas!

I can't believe she has started stitching a few months ago!!
Great job!!

Very pretty ornament finish! You did a lovely job! I love receiving stitched gifts...congrats!
Oh my goodness, what delightful finishes!!!
The ornament is wonderful and your sister is doing a marvelous job on her stitching! I can't wait until I do some knitting to show off!
Love your ornaments! And your sisters are unbelievable for 1st projects. I still have my first little chicken that I stitched 25 years ago. It's still special to me.
Wishing you a very happy New Year!
Everything looks so beautiful! I love your last ornament and your sister's ornaments too. It seems talent runs in the family!
Beautiful ornies by your sister! My sisters used to do stitching in fact one of them introduced me to stitching but they moved on to scrapbooking and don't do any stitching at all now :-(. xx
Wohooo already everything packed away??? We have our christmas stuff out in Germany until the 6th January, but we also put up the tree the day before christmas eve;-))
Hugs,
Gaby...and a happy new year
Your family and friends ornie is just perfect. I love your tree and am excited with you that your sister is stitching also.
Staci, that is the sweetest ornament! Congratulations to your sister and her new hobby! I think her ornaments are wonderful! Especially the reindeer one, lol!
Wonderful ornaments! And your knitted gift makes me wanna pick up that habit again. Does your sister have any idea what's in store for her? You've really put all the Christmas things away already? You're a busy girl.
