I Cheated

 I'm not going to lie to you, dear reader, I cheated. I know I'm supposed to work on one project a day, and a new one every day during my NaBloPoMo challenge, but I came so close last night...all the way to just the little man with his moon balloon and the backstitching. So close! This morning when I got up, I just kept going. Working away on the stocking and not the new project that was prescribed. But I finished! And I'm not sorry I did it. I'd break the rules again and again!

I still have one stocking to go for this family of four, so they won't get them this year. But I might even be able to finish these myself instead of sending them off in October, so that everything else will get done. (Since I am confessing, I will share that I have made nary a Christmas card. Sigh.)

I would have finished it too. I think this has to be my favorite of these stockings.

Congratulations on your stocking finish! And I confess, I would have finished it as well instead of moving on to the next project.

Congrats on the gorgeous finish Nikki. I won't tell anyone that you worked on the same project for two days.

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Congratulations on the Happy Dance. I won't tell anyone you cheated! It was worth it though.

I'd have cheated, too, and the stocking is lovely.

For a finish, especially a stocking, it's okay to break the rules. And a beautiful finish as well.
