Stitches and Stash!

Good evening!

I hope you are all well and had a pleasant weekend, and all the Christmas planning is starting to come together :)

Last weekend rather last minute I decided to Join the iStitch Designs advent stitch along - meaning I get sent a section of the chart each day from December 1st to December 24th.

Here is day one...

Yes...I have fallen behind already, but it's totally ok - I plan on stitching away this coming week and hopefully at the weekend. Some people are doing great at keeping up and the piece is looking lovely already - I can't wait to crack on with it!

Other than that just some new stash in the post this past week - my first two Soda Stitch Patterns.

I picked up The Little Kingdom...

and Petite Palace...

I thought they were so cute!

The Little Kingdom is actually 50% off at the moment on Sew and So as it's apparently a discontinued pattern.

Other than that not much to tell this week - we pick our wedding invites up this coming weekend - eek! :D

Make sure you come back on Friday when it will be my turn to host day 11 of Jo's Advent Blog Hop!

Until then!

A Wonderful Gift

Good evening all!

I hope you are all well and looking forward to the month ahead - December tomorrow! Eek!

I arrived home tonight to a wonderful gift I had to share with you all. This year I was one of the lucky winners of Andrea's annual event whereby she stitches ornaments throughout the year and then very kindly sends them to new homes each Christmas.

Here is mine...

Isn't it wonderful? and so perfectly finished too!

It also came with a very nice handmade card, thank you so much Andrea :)

The card is now sat with my others (I have received 5 already!) and the ornament is hanging proudly on the tree along with some other handmade ornaments - I am getting quite the collection!

I can't wait to see what the other winners got too :)
