#57 - Happy New Year!

I hope everyone saw in the New Year in whatever way they wished, be it with Family, Friends or even fast asleep before the clock even struck 12 (our preferred choice for last year)!

As it was my birthday our friends Rachael and Hannah kindly invited us over for dinner. It was a lovely evening with some pleasant suprises!

The first was...more stash! :D I was very surprised as normally we agree not to get each other anything (now we all have mortgages to pay) and I just love it!

Row Of Cats - Bothy Threads

It is already calling my name but I must wait for now...I love the little kitten second from the right, he is called Boris - such a butch name for such a tiny kitty :D hehe.

Second surprise of the night...cake! Yes, not only did they cook a beautiful chilli with all the trimmings they also took the time to bake me a birthday cake! A HUGE one at that, and very yummy too!

After we had let our dinner settled we played on the xbox, dancing like Michael Jackson, a very funny game and really makes you realise what a great dancer he was in his day. The next thing we knew it was almost midnight so the bubbly was popped and we watched the fireworks in London on TV. It was a lovely evening.

Yesterday was pretty quiet, I made a start on Mini The Black, getting in 450 stitches, but as they are all the same colour I won't bother to share a photo. I will see how I get on the rest of the week and update then.

I've also made a small start on the Wedding Sampler, but again, not really worth posting a photo just yet!

#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!!
