New Start...in more ways than one!

Good evening!

I hope you are all well and had a good weekend, I don't know about you but I think this past week has flown by! Sure doesn't seem like a week since my last post!

Thank you all for your kind comments on my latest finish, it is hard to reply to them all while I am on the phone app and Ipad, I can't wait to get my own computer back again!

So, as I mentioned last week me and the MIL took at little trip last Sunday to the Hobby Crafts show in Glasgow, it was a last minute decision to go but we had good fun and both ended up coming away with some stash.

MIL is more in to crafting with felt and card, although over the years she has tried her hand at almost everything crafty!

I on the other hand was pretty limited in my choices, I only came across two stalls for cross stitch, but never mind, I still got some goodies!

First was one of the cute new kits from Bothy Threads called Sew Dinky Gingerbread House.


It looked so cute stitched up and it was a very reasonable price for a full kit so I thought "Why not?!"

Here is my progress so far;


Not much, but its a start and I am having a lot of fun with it :)

I also picked up one of those polystyrene wreaths which I have plans for, although I don't know if that will be for this Christmas or I might just have to hold off till next year!

Lastly, I picked up one of those stitched Advent Calendar kits from Pinflair, when it's finished it should look something like this...


Although again, I don't know when that is going to happen, haha :D

In other news I had a job interview last Thursday and they offered me a job on the spot! The money isn't great, nor the hours but it is better than nothing. I am still applying for other things but now at least the pressure is off to find something. I am due to start next Monday, so I will keep you updated on how that goes.

Until next time, have a good week!

#22 Something Simple

Once again thank you for all your kind comments!

If you are a follower of my blog but I am not a follower of yours please leave a comment - I love to read what everyone else is doing, gives me inspiration!

Today I was feeling sort of lazy and so I decided to stitch up a couple of squares for the charity group I am a member of on Facebook. They are pretty quick and simple to do so managed to get two done. I will send them off once I get the threads for two other squares I have committed to which are Disney ones - I love Disney :D

About an hour ago I had a phone call from my Brother, I worried a little as he never calls so late, but turned out it was good news - he and his girlfriend got engaged! :D I am so happy for them, it was a complete suprise to me as they have been together so long I had come to the conclusion they were happy just as they were and had no plans to marry.

So that means a wedding next year - I will have to start thinking of a gift and my goodness the diet starts now!

I hope everyone who isn't at work tomorrow due to the bank holiday has a great day of stitching ahead!
