#54 Advent Calendar - Day 19

Hello and welcome to the 19th door of Jo's Advent Calendar 2012!

It has become somewhat of a tradition in our house now for each year to make something new to add to the tree, here are just a few from the last couple of years :)

This year Jo asked "Stocking, Sack or Something Else?" Well we are firmly a "something else" household! All our presents are placed under the tree as we get them, as you can see the pile is getting quite big now so close to Christmas! 

The only problem is the temptation to have a little squeeze or take a peek! I have already spotted the Cath Kidston bag at the back! hehe :D

If I do not get the chance again I want to wish all my readers both old and new alike a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

#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
