#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 :)

#42 Where has this Weekend gone?!

After a day of decorating yesterday I finally got chance to settle down with some stitching this afternoon. I continued work on my Sweet Treats SAL. Didn't get a whole lot done, but progress is progress.

Sorry for the Blurry Picture!

My Stitching Stash has increased somewhat over the last two days thanks to the HAED Rakoween Event on Facebook. I think as it tied in so nicely with Heaven and Earth's Sale which is going on at the moment people went a little RAK crazy!

I now have these four beauties added to my collection. Envy and the Montage are HUGE. When I will get round to even starting them I don't even know yet!

My dear sweet Nana asked my what I would like for Christmas and my Birthday this year (which is the week after Christmas), she is to thank for my crafty side so when I suggested the threads for one of my charts she agreed - Yay! So I have ordered what I need for Mini The Black. This means I now have three sat ready and waiting for the new year!

Hope you all have a great week!
