#51 A Wonderful Gift

Some time ago you may remember I was informed I was the lucky winner of a gift from notes from under the mountain for becoming her 150th follower. Finally today my gift arrived from the other side of the world!

Turns out Lee has relatives who were originally from Yorkshire so that was a happy coincidence! Its strange, so many people seem to have one relative or another who decide to pack up and move to the other side of the world, in my case my Grandma's sister and her children.

Anyway, look how gorgeous this is! A beautiful little note book, I feel very lucky to have something so beautiful - I think I may never dare use it as it is just too precious!

Thank You Lee! :)

 On to my own stitching, Lily has a few more stitches in her, forming the bottom on her eye and a couple of eyelashes so far. I'm hoping this weekend I will get plenty done as I don't have David here to annoy distract me.

The snow has been falling here today and it making every attempt to settle, it's really starting to feel festive :)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

#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 :)
