Dec & Jan SKoW officially done - Yay!!

Hi y'all ... Chooky, I am so sorry I haven't posted this until now (it really was ready to post beginning of last weekend ... I just didn't get to it *oops!

I have now (finally) finished all the last components for both Dec & January SKoW requirements - Yay!

I'm kinda hoping that I can just make the next lot of stripping (between the rows), instead of the bottom piece, and keep going along that way to count towards each subsequent month, as I'm feeling really anxious about making the top & bottom strips before the middle section is all done ... craziness, really!

I was hoping to get a little more done (I have four more blocks & the rest of the stripping to go), but the next 2.5 weeks will have to be more dedicated to my uni than finishing this off ... Sad really, because my new light-box arrived on the weekend!!!  But assignments and an exam need to be put higher on the priority list right now.

... Oh! I almost forgot!! ... I also finished off the TTS bag everyone, uptodate with the program, did last month (was made as a swap item) ...
