Rug sale end and monogram ornament

This is just reminder that the Needle Nicely rug sale will end at midnight, December 31.  I will leave the photos here on the blog, but will eliminate the sale prices.  My original reason for the sale was because of the demise of Paternayan yarn.  Now that it is back, it's possible to kit rugs with it.  Hooray!

I've been chasing my stitching blahs with a monogram ornament canvas.  I'm making progress, but am not up to my usual stitching diligence.  Here's my progress up to Christmas Eve.

 This is my current progress.  That is one card of silk lame braid.  Of course, I had only brought 2 cards home.  Fortunately, I had another at the shop and brought it home Friday afternoon.  So no dye lot problem on this baby!  The purple is Kreinik Balger.
