#53 I Spy With My Little Eye...

Good evening everyone!

I hope you are all well and in the full swing of everything festive! Welcome to my two new followers Emily and Spices of Your Life, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog :)

Now, it was IHSW this weekend. Hermitting - check! Stitch...not so much... But it has been a productive weekend none the less. First up, remember all those threads I received in the mail? Well I bobbinated my bum off and they are all now neat and tidy, only problem is my box is full so I will be asking Santa to send me another for Christmas ;)

As well as this a little work was done on Lily, here is it the last time you saw it;

and here she is now! Her eye is almost complete, just a few more lashes to add and I will be then on to her hair and eyebrow.

Other than this I have mainly spent the weekend wrapping presents and writing cards, I think I am almost there now to just be able to put my feet up and enjoy...plus only 5 more days at work - yay!

I hope everyone else has had a more successful IHSW than I did, but I can't complain really!

I will be back on Wednesday as I am door number 19 in Jo's Advent Blog Hop!

Have a great week! xo

#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 :)
