#52 It was all going so well...

First, hello and welcome to my two new followers, Holly and Nicola, I hope you enjoy your stay in my little blogging world, and of course to the rest of you thank you for your comments, you know how much they are appreciated!

So how is everyone doing? All ready for Christmas? I had great plans this weekend of plenty of present wrapping, shopping and most importantly stitching! :D Did it happen? No!!

Not one single stitch, no shopping and only about three presents wrapped, I wasn't feeling great so most of Saturday afternoon and Sunday were spent in bed - so much for enjoying my peaceful weekend! But, I am feeling better now and I have a busy week ahead!

But, the post man was kind to me at least, 50 skeins of thread arrived on Friday so guess what I will be doing tonight...bobbinating! (I love that word!)


These are mainly for my projects for next year and a few extra thrown in for good measure.

Well, tomorrow me and the other half are over in Manchester to see The Black Keys in concert, Wednesday is shopping day as we are  both off work and then Thursday is Secret Santa/Buffet day at work so busy busy busy.

I hope you all have a great week :)

  4. I love receiving threads, fabrics and patterns by mail, it's a great day when it happens. I did't anything for Chistmas by now. Too busy to do it!
    I'm so curious to know your stitching projects for 2013.
