Playing Hookie



I didn't feel like going to work today. It was just one of those 'I've had enough of it' days. So I decided to stay home. I didn't get much done today though. Spent most of the time on line.

I did get a little stitching done so on the Christmas Elf Fairy. I'm going to work on her a little more after dinner. I worked on her face today and I don't know but, I'm just not happy with it. Since I'm using variegated thread half of her face is pink and half of it its white. I know this is what the designer wanted but, to me it just doesn't look right. I'll just have to see how it looks when I get her hair and the cap done around it. I also did some updating on my blog. I added a few more blinkies and the I support Harry Potter banner from the Goblet of Fire web site. I also added my monster name coder to the tool bar. Someone else did this too. I can't remember if it was Amanda or Carol. It's Carol that has the monster on her blog. :)

Congratulations on your hooky day!!! I love those too! I don't know if Amanda put her monster name in her sidebar, but I did put Mike's in mine (along with his cyborg name) - He likes to be represented in my blog and often checks to make sure he is there! Thus, the pic of us having cocktails in San Juan a couple of years ago is now also in my sidebar - men!! LOL!

Congrats on taking a hooky day. Christmas Elf fairy is looking good. Can't comment on the face, it doesn't look to have a two tone...

Hi Jenn,
Christmas Elf Fairy is looking great!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you get tons of stitching time in over the long weekend. Like you I've been in a big time stitching funk. I need to stitch something for me and stop doing other things for awhile :)

Your Christmas Elf is coming along great. I took November 18th off sick too but I had a big time migrane, sinus, tension headache.
I'm glad you took a mental health day. Everyone should take one once in a while. Ferris Bueller had it right... if you don't slow down once in a while and look around, you might just miss something. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
