12 Days of Christmas

Hey Everyone!!

Can you believe there is only 6 days left until Christmas?! Where has the time gone this year.  I have to say though that this year I'm done early :) All Christmas presents are bought and wrapped ready to put under the tree all that is left to do is get the vegetables in for the Christmas dinner.

I've not really done a great deal of stitching to be honest over the last 2 weeks due mostly to me being ill and then the stitching bug going away.  I have managed to do a little bit each day - nothing like my usual speed mind.

I have kind of lost interest in my fairy at the moment, so started a new project.  Joan Elliott's 12 Days of Christmas is what I started and it is slow going (am sure though when my bug returns I'll be flying).

Here is my progress on the 12 Days of Christmas:

If I don't post before the big day, Merry Christmas to all my followers!! I hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas :) xxxxxx

No Stitching Updates

Hello there everyone!!

Well, I'm a little sad to say that I don't have a stitching update this week due to me coming down with some sort of cold and a really really horrible cough.  I have spent most of the last week curled up on the sofa in between doing school runs and cooking.  I am glad to report though that I am starting to feel better (the cold has gone away), I'm just left with this horrid cough, which is now under control thanks to Benylins mucus cough mixture.

After flying through with my autumn fairy, I decided to put her away for a little bit and start something new, so I pulled out my Joan Elliott '12 Days of Christmas' which I kitted up before putting it all away again. 

Hopefully after the weekend I will have a nice update for you all. 

Until next time, keep warm and stay safe in this stormy winter weather.

An Update

Good Monday Afternoon to you all.

As you know, this past year I did an Open University course, and I have my results back for it.  I have passed my course and can now put Cert NatSci (open) after my name .... Woop!! What an achievement is that. After submitting my End of Module Assessment, I really thought I had mucked up and failed the whole course, but alas, that was not the case. I know have one subject under my belt to go towards a degree.

On the stitching front, I have made a lot of progress on Autumn Fairy, and here is how she is looking now:

I plan on doing nothing but stitching for the next few days now as next week begins the food sort out of the freezer ready for my christmas turkey lol. I'm hoping that any snow that we are due will hold off until we have all the food we need for christmas dinner.

Until next time, keep warm and stitch away.

Autumn Fairy

Here is an update on my autumn fairy by Joan Elliott. I've completed the first page already (excluding the metallic stitches).

Here is how she is looking now

Please excuse the picture quality, I have no idea what happened with the settings on the camera, but it came out smaller than usual lol.

Until next time, happy stitching :)

November TUSAL

I am a couple of days late in posting November's TUSAL due to my card reader in my laptop having a bit of a hissy fit and not working. Here it is though, with a bit of festive pink tinsel :)
