Wedding Weekend and a Finish!

Good evening everyone!

I hope you are all well, I seem to be coming down with a cold booo! I just hope I can shift it quick.

All the family had a great time at my brothers wedding, it was a perfect day from start to finish and couldn't have gone better, some pictures below...

Family Meal out at Ceaser's @ The Minster in York

Me and David - scrub up well don't we?!

Cutting the cake!

The Wedding Cake, which my brother made

We returned home on Saturday afternoon after spending the night at The Churchill in York, as it turned out we had the majority of the hotel rooms booked out with all the family members stopping over, so breakfast the next morning was fun too!

Once we got back I was far too hungover tired to stitch so went back to bed in the afternoon for a couple of hours and relaxed. Finally on Sunday some stitching got done and I am please to say I got a finish! But sadly, I cannot share it yet - I have decided to keep it until the Halloween bloghop takes place - hopefully by then it will be a finished finish, I ordered some perfect backing fabric for it last night.

The second part of the Lizzie*Kate mystery Christmas Sampler arrived while I was away in York so I will be making a start on that this week too, if this cold sticks around I won't be doing anything this weekend either so at least on the bright side I should get plenty of stitching done.

Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone!

This post was planned for the weekend but somehow we are on Wednesday already.

But I have lots of news to share!

First up, here is my (late) TUSAL.

My jar is packed with threads now, perhaps next year I need to find a larger jar so I don't have to "smush" them down so much.

I had lots of nice stitchy mail this past week too. First my prize from Craftycat's giveaway arrived. The chart is lovely, as is the fabric. Never stitched on such small count but it will be something fun to try :)

I already have plans for the Christmas charms, watch this space :D

Next a travelling pattern arrived from Lanybleu Stitches. This one has visited stitchers all over the globe! Of course I will keep the tradition going once I finish it, so keep an eye out for a post if you are wanting this :)

~ Thank You So Much Ladies ~

I also got tickets for the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching show, I have never been before so I am looking forward to it. Two friends are also coming along too, although they will be looking more at the knitting side of things. We plan to take a trip to Betty's Tea Room after as well. It should be a great day.

I took part in an event on Facebook again, this time it was a surprise RAK event to celebrate the groups first birthday, I had a very generous partner who got me vouchers for both my choices! Once I have received the goodies in the mail I will share :) If you read this thank you so much!

I have also signed up to Serendipitous Stitching's Halloween blog hop. It is a great way to find new blogs and lovely to see all the stitching, you can still join in too!

I have been working away on some stitching too, but it is so close to been finished I'm not going to share a photo just yet :)

Part two of the Holly and Hearts Mystery SAL should be on its way to me soon too!

I think that is everything I had to report, Friday is my brothers wedding! I can't believe how fast that has come around, I can finally give my present to them which I finished back in August (Finished picture here).

I'm sure I will be back posting again at the weekend with photos from the wedding to share :)

Until then, have a great week!
