Kalonji called me today and told me that he got promoted! He “got capped” as they refer to it where the Captain promoted him and another enlisted up a rating without them having to take a test. So, he is now E-5 and a MS2 (for those out there that know what this means lol!) I am so proud of him.

As for me, I got a major stitching bug today. I decided I needed to stitch three Christmas gifts! Well, due to the late date, the recipients will be getting them post-Christmas. But at least I’ll have made them for them. First up is Marilyn Leavitt-Imblums free 2003 angel. I got in three hours tonite, and hope to finish the DMC parts tomorrow. There’s quite a bit of beading in this for its size, so I’d like to start that beading tomorrow – perhaps I’ll finish by Friday night??

This weekend, I’ll start this design for my boss.

I guess I won’t be finishing my geisha this year either.
