#52 It was all going so well...

First, hello and welcome to my two new followers, Holly and Nicola, I hope you enjoy your stay in my little blogging world, and of course to the rest of you thank you for your comments, you know how much they are appreciated!

So how is everyone doing? All ready for Christmas? I had great plans this weekend of plenty of present wrapping, shopping and most importantly stitching! :D Did it happen? No!!

Not one single stitch, no shopping and only about three presents wrapped, I wasn't feeling great so most of Saturday afternoon and Sunday were spent in bed - so much for enjoying my peaceful weekend! But, I am feeling better now and I have a busy week ahead!

But, the post man was kind to me at least, 50 skeins of thread arrived on Friday so guess what I will be doing tonight...bobbinating! (I love that word!)

These are mainly for my projects for next year and a few extra thrown in for good measure.

Well, tomorrow me and the other half are over in Manchester to see The Black Keys in concert, Wednesday is shopping day as we are  both off work and then Thursday is Secret Santa/Buffet day at work so busy busy busy.

I hope you all have a great week :)

#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!
