Deck the Halls....

Hello everyone!

That for the kind wishes when I was sick, I am much better now, actually it only lasted 12 hours, so I was lucky.

This weekend I am at my Mum and Dads to put up the Christmas tree which I do every year. Lots of fun!
This is the stocking I made a few years ago for myself, so I am making another one (which probably won't be finished until next Christmas!) for my SIL.

On to some sad news, I recently broke up with my BF which was very sad, so I feeling a bit depressed and sad which is always worse leading up to Christmas, but I'm trying to be Christmas happy! I am also looking at a change of career, from dental assistant to quantity surveying or engineering technology. It's a bit scary changing careers but I really have had enough of dental after 13 years! So I guess I have lots to think about over the summer/Christmas holidays.

Anyways here is my happy pictures!-
The Ginga's favourite chair! He's just so cute

happy stitching!

Image
In March I went to Egypt. This had been on my list of places to visit for a long time, and I absolutely loved it! The view from the hotel room, you can imagine how excited I was when I saw that view! The wonderful Egyptian Museum  We spend 4 fabulous day on a Nile cruise Me in my galabia Anyway on to stitching, and since I had been to Egypt, I had to start my Egyptian Garden Mandala by Chatelaine Designs. I have been rather remiss in my posting so I shall try harder! I do enjoy watching flosstube though, maybe one day I will do my own. I am going back to Egypt in December so I am very excited about that! Happy stitching! Michelle

My Little French Obssesion

There hasn't been a whole lot of stitching going on since I finished Tuscany Town, I am now back at work so   even though that's good because I get a decent pay packet now, I don't have the time I use to for stitching! I have how ever been working on the Multiplication Sampler, and this actually stitches up quite fast because you only use one colour. Before- After- I have also brought another Chatelaine! The new addition is Lake Como I already have some fabric - 32-count white sparkles from Country Stitch, so all I need now is some threads... I have started a new project, it's called Je T'aime by Anette Eriksson, out of the February issue of the Cross Stitcher magazine. Fabric 28-count Linen DMC thread It uses 3 strands of thread so uses up a lot of thread rather quickly, but looks great! I will be making it into a cushion (one day...) I was having a clean out of my cupboards the other day and found all sorts of trea

Trophies and a Party

Well I had an interesting weekend, we had our prize giving for the Time Trial club and I won a trophy!

Needless to say I was very pleased with myself and it was fun seeing MY name engraved on the trophy! Here I am feeling very pleased with myself... You may remember from my last post I was going to my friends 40th birthday party, well we had an awesome time and stayed up until 4am! A good time was had by all and I have one or two pictures to show, some of them aren't fit for general viewing (I don't really need to say more) This is at the start of the night, so were looking pretty good Lucy is very talented and plays the drums, piano, sings and can also play the ukulele! (think I spelt it right) Anyway onto the stitching. I have still only been doing the Holiday Cookies so not much to show other than that.. Before- After- I
