What's in my Hoop?

I thought I'd post another update on things I'm working on.  If you're like me, you have several WIP's going on at once.  So here's what I've got.

This cross stitch pattern by Little Miss Shabby based on quilt patterns.  This is a stitch-a-long and she releases a new block every two weeks.  It's been fun to stitch and she's kept it very free just giving you the basic pattern, leaving it very open to interpretation with the colors you choose.  You can really take it in so many directions. 

 

I'm also still trudging away on Gingerbread Lane by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.  I feel like I've been working on this forever! I took this piece to work and I stitch it on my lunch break, which is only 30 minutes.  So, little by little this has been coming together.  I still have a looooong way to go but at least I'm working on it and I'm really enjoying the stitch break at work.  It's been good for me.  (sorry for the not so great photo, this is from my phone which doesn't take the best pics). 

I've also got a few ideas churning for Baxter's second birthday party!  Can you believe he's almost 2!!

So what's in your hoop!
