I have to be honest....updating 2 months of cross stitch starts in one night is tiring. This is what I get for being a huge procrastinator. As I update, I am cleaning out my DVR by watching all my recorded Christmas movies from both Hallmark channels. I was supposed to do this on Thanksgiving break but we had company all week and they didn't like Hallmark movies....long story.
So..here are all my starts in November.
Starts 320, 321, 322, and 323 : Dimensions Kit
Start 324: Mill Hill Thanks
Start 325: Mill Hill Princess Carriage

I have changed out all the fabric to 28 count evenweave
So ...here is some Disney Eye Candy! By the way...I am looking for the LARGE Disney Dreams Tangled kit...I didn't get that one and the company is now out of business....sigh..

So this month kicked my behind. I wasn't as organized as I usually am and was really struggling to get my act together. I was in a car wreck on Oct 29th and I wasn't hurt just my car. I stopped and the guy behind me did not stop. Basically for the entire month I was dealing with insurance agencies about my car. I had my month planned out but when I went to do my start I realized I didn't have my floss separated for my Disney kits like I should have and some fabric wasn't cut....so I had to rearrange my starts.
