#43 November?!

Seriously, where has this year gone? But on the bright side I can now start to get excited over Christmas!

I hope anyone who was affected by the Storm on the East Coast has made it through ok, I saw some live pictures and it looked terrible - all it takes here is a couple CM of snow for all hell to break loose!

Also, I hoped everyone enjoyed Halloween - its not really a big deal for me, I guess its because by the time I get home from work all the kids have been and I miss them all. Ah well.

Stitching wise I worked some more on the Sweet Treats SAL - I managed to get both legs and his body done. hopefully by the end of the weekend he won't be headless!


The postman was very kind to me this week. At the start of the week my chart arrived which I won at dear Thea's Blog. Over the past months she has been doing reviews on a Saturday then holding some giveaways for the items involved. I was lucky enough to win this and the other half has already decided it will fit perfectly in our "Geek Room".


Then later in the week another package arrived for me. I was confused at first as I knew I wasn't expecting anything so I opened it and sweet sweet Nia had sent me this!


No reason why, other than to make me smile - which is certainly did! I commented a while back how cute these were and she must of remembered. It even got a smile out of the other half who normally just rolls his eyes at anything crafty!

So I just want to say Thea and Nia - Thank you!!

I also sent off my mystery Giveaway to McKenna but silly me forgot to take a photo of it...only realising once I had sealed the envelope...ha! Once I know the gift has been received then I will enlighten the rest of you (and hopefully McKenna will take a photo!)

I will update again at the end of the weekend. I hope you all have a great one :)

  10. Hi!!!! :D sorry for my late visit here, I'm behind on my blog reading :p But I always catch up on all post ;) ehehhe

    I'm so glad my package arrived safely! And happy to know that I gave you a smile :D
    I had my package ready to post for a while, I had so many things to post that I decided to gather everything and make only one 'trip' to the post office ;) eheheh that's why I didn't send earlier :) But I think this way was even better, for sure you weren't expecting anything and probably didn't even remeber that I asked for your adress ;) ehehhhe
    Hugs to you sweetie!!! :D
