#50 December time! :)

Hurrah the time is finally upon us where people can no longer say to me its too early to think about Christmas - Three weeks today!! :D

With this in mind the tree went up over the weekend along with lights, snowflakes and whatever else I could find that was remotely festive.

Cards have been sent in the mail and wrapping of presents will start this weekend - the other half is visiting family in Scotland so I know its safe to do so without the risk of him seeing!

It is lovely to see everyone's blogs and how everyone is getting trimmed up for the holiday season :)

On to stitching. Well...with me getting festive fever I only managed to get any done on Sunday evening and Monday. Now, it may not be what you are thinking...it wasn't on Twilight Magic...I may have started one of my 2013 projects a little early... :D

What do you mean you can't tell what it is?! Hehe, not much but this is the beginnings of Lily. Once all the thread arrived I could wait no longer.

Looking at this photo now I can actually see the start of her eye, which I couldn't close up.

Sadly the photo does not show the gorgeous hand dyed fabric I am working on, so I will try to get another in daylight at the weekend.

Hope you all have a great week :)

#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!
