Done!

Hey everyone some good news today...  I finished my project!  I've completed two projects so far in my cross-stitching career (out of two I started) and here they are:

I need to sign the bottom one because I forgot but both are large projects at 12x16.  I've decided I only like large projects  but I may dabble in ornaments for Christmas...as you can tell I like holiday ones :).  So this means I'm free to officially start my blog.  I'm going to be switching back and forth from the two projects depending on my mood but I'd love to have at least one Halloween pattern done by Halloween.  I'm going to spend tonight setting up grids (my first time) and winding my thread onto bobbins and then get started!
