#56 Happy Birthday To Me.... :D

Hello!

So here it is, New Years Eve, a time to start thinking of the year to come and reflect on the past year. Also for me it means....presents! :D Hehehe!

I was lucky enough to add another cross stitch item to my stash thanks to my other half....another Gorjuss girl :D I had a sneaky suspicion I might get this one as he did point it out himself and said he liked it :)

I Found My Family

Also another Christmas gift arrived in my email Thanks to Santa's Elves - I have no idea who you are but if you read this...Thank You! 

Mini So Many Books So Little Time

I see my collection growing and growing, when will I ever get time to stitch them all?? But I suppose I am another year closer to my retirement so I need to build my stash for then ;) Hehe.

I also got some money for my Birthday so I may treat myself to a thing or two...watch this space... ;)

You may have noticed my blog's appearance has changed. I'm still not completely happy with it, a few more tweeks here and there maybe.

I hope you all have a great new year and enjoy yourselves tonight - see you all in 2013!!

#55 Festive Fun!

Good morning!

How are we all today? Slightly hungover? Overdosed on Turkey? Whatever the answer I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

I did, despite falling asleep at 6:30 in the evening and missing half the night! I do it every year though, David just laughs at me...

First I want to thank you to everyone who sent me a Christmas card, I ended up with cards from America, Canda, Portugal, Iceland, England...if it wasn't for all of you I would of had a measly 5 or 6 cards this year (work do this thing where instead of sending cards we give the money to charity, which is all very well and good but when you don't have children this results in very few cards...).

Next, I want to share my stitching presents :D Yep I got some! Hooray!

 The Cat Kit was from my boyfriends parents, his Mum is also a crafty person so she knows how nice it is to build your stash :)

The Gorjus Kit is from my other half, I pointed a few out to him as he needed ideas of things to get me so it was sort of a half surprise hehe :D

At the bottom is a thread pack for Mini the Black which my Grandparents got me. It is my new year start for a group on Facebook, I am itching to get started already! As well as all this my sweet American pen friend Beth got me some note cards, which will definitely come in handy!



Today is Boxing Day here in England, we won't do much other than relax and eat Turkey sandwiches. Sadly tomorrow it is back to reality and back to work. Oh well, at least I have my Birthday on Monday to look forward to :D
