Gifted Gorgeousness - July

Oh my, the middle of July is already gone! I am very busy with work right now since the end of the semester is in sight and this means that the exams are also in sight, so I spent a lot of time thinking about questions, but I am as good as done! Yay me!

As for stitching, I am (again) four days late for the GG SAL. But better late then never, right?
For all those who don't know about the SAL yet - this SAL is hosted by Jo and the plan is to show our work on projects that are meant to be a gift for someone or that were gifted to you. You can find the link-up (featuring every ones progress) here.

As for progress, I worked on two things this month. Well, you can't really tell that I worked on Santa this month. I added like three threads to him.
Before:

And now:

I really hope to be a better girl next month!

But to make up for my tiny progress on Santa, I am proud to show my work on my Map of Middle Earth! You have not seen this in a while and I am pleased to say that I added 2000 stitches to it!
Before:

And now:

I missed working on this one and since I think I'll go back to stitching on what I like (instead of trying to following a rotation) , I hope to work on this more regular ;-) 

That's my work for this month,

Happy stitching =)
