Here is my completed page 2 of "Little Book of Stitches". Sure is pretty!! On to page 3. Page 1 has initials and the date and I think I will wait to do that page. I have finished the gift I was doing. I will have to wait until I have access to a sewing machine before I can finish it. I will photo it once it has been received.
Now that the wreath is off to the framers, I am on to the next project in my UFO pile. This is "Crystal Tree" from the November 2004 Stitcher's World. I started this last March. I had it about 1/3 done and then realized I was off by 1/2 stitch. I ripped out a large section and threw it to the bottom of my pile. I dug it out today and checked it over to start again. I got a new copy of the pattern since I marked the first one and still got it wrong. I took this photo of what I have done after ripping out a large piece. After taking this photo, I sat down to work on it and had to tear out everything you see on the left. I guess I will start all over again. I have pinned to start at the top and will try from there. 
Just in case I never get to the end, this is the finished tree from the magazine. Maybe someday!

You've got more patience than I do if you're restarting after all that frogging! I think it will be well worth it though. I've got that magazine and love the tree.
Your little book is really lovely.
That's a really lovely tree and I don't think I have seen one like it before - very unusual. Love the little book of stitches. Is it the one from the GOS mag. That one is on my to do list. xx
Just gorgeous - I love the Book of Stitches!
Wow, Kathy! Both projects are fabulous. The Book of Stitches is awesome!
Hugs,

Oh, I love that tree. Have you seen the new Mirabilia tree for this year, too? It's the same pastel-y colors.
You'll be able to get that tree done no problem!
