#49 Bad Emma...

First, I hope all my friends on the other side of the pond enjoyed Thanksgiving, I really enjoyed reading about what you have all done, and how you all enjoyed the holiday with friends and family. Even though we don't have anything like Thanksgiving over here I always get excited around that time as I know then we are on our way to Christmas!

I don't have any progress to show you this week as I have not done a single stitch since my last update! Terrible I know! Its not that I don't want to, I just don't know where the evenings have gone after work. Fingers crossed I will squeeze some in this weekend, but we are decking the halls so to speak this weekend so who knows?

I must also say I have been terrible at replying and commenting on blogs of late, but you must know I am reading and enjoying them all even if I have not left a comment, promise!

Now, I did have time to have a look in the HAED Thanksgiving sale! I was ever so good and only bought two Minis this time.

Mini Melinda and Moohoo
Mini Midnight Secrets



















Mini Midnight Secrets only uses 16 colours so I'm thinking that could be perfect to kit up for my holiday next year so I don't have much to carry around.

Other than that not much to report really. I am now just on the build up to Christmas, most of the presents are sorted now and I just have a few cards to send out, if anyone would like to do a card exchange (not stitched!) then please just comment, I figure its always nice to get something other than bills in the post!

#48 - IHSW part 2

Yes, thats right, part TWO!!

For once I can say I am please with my stitching this month, I feel I have made good progress. The other half may not be quite so happy as it did mean not much housework got done - oops! There is always tomorrow, right?

So, today I worked on Twilight Magic, it has been a while since I last posted about here so here is what she looked like last time...


And here she is now!


Yes, yet more background. I will probably fall asleep tonight and have nightmares about light peach and pink. BUT! the bottom right corner you can see where I haven't stitched, that is the start of her hair, yippee! However I still have a long way to go before I move to the next page. Even so I am happy.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and a good week ahead too.
