Turkey and Goodies for me (and you!)

I'm back!

Did you all miss me? Hehe :D I had a great time on holiday but also glad to be home, as much as I love my Mum a week is my limit with her lol.

I'll quickly show some photos of the holiday then get on with the stitching/goodies updates...

While on holiday I got a tiny new start, its not much and I'm not telling you what it is yet :D hehe. But I want to get Darth Finished and another project started soon so it will be going away again for a while.

Holiday Start

Once back (2 am this morning!) I had some wool I ordered waiting for me! I have had some of this before and it was practically buy one ball get two free so how could I say no?

Each set came with a pattern book, and as I say I have ordered some before so I now have three extra books. Would anyone like one? If so state in a comment below you would and if there is more than three of you I will do a draw, I will keep it open until next Sunday morning (22nd). Just to make it clear, this is for the book, NOT the wool - that's all mine *evil laugh*

Today in the mail this arrived! The first part of the Lizzie*Kate Mystery Christmas SAL! I think I am going to start tomorrow (ssssh don't tell the other half!) and make Sunday my SAL Sunday from now on. I want to keep up with this one (famous last words!).

Sorry for the picture heavy post! Fingers crossed I will be back soon with some progress shots on the SAL and of course Darth, I hope to have him finished really soon!

Fun in the Sun!

Hello everyone!

How is everyone? Did you all miss me? I know its been a while (again) since I posted but to be fair I have been away on holiday for the past two weeks!

I have very little to report stitching wise, I took a small kit with me but in the entire two weeks did about 30 stitches - there was just no time, or if there was I was distracted by Wimbledon (GOOOO MURRAY!) or by the pool calling my name...

While away in Florida I of course took a trip to one of the craft stores. While going to pick up the food shopping on the day we arrived I spotted a Joann's nearby - of course I had to go look!

Well you stitchers in the states are so lucky! Everything is SO much cheaper - three skeins of floss for 99 cents?! Here is about 50 pence for one!

As tempted as I was to clear out the entire floss stock instead I picked up two kits which have been on my bucket list for a while, again, so much cheaper than if I had of bought them here!

Fall Fairy

Other than that not much else to report. Fingers crossed now the holiday is done with (*cries*) I can get back in to the swing of things with stitching. For now here is some photos from my holiday - enjoy!
