…in my last post, here are the pictures of my new starts..
Firstly…the lovely chart RAK’d to me by Barb earlier this year..Filigram “Mother Hens”, I am on a no stash buying phase at the moment so I have adapted the called for threads to GAST and DMC threads which I already had in my stash…and 32c Murano Light Taupe which I had a large amount of.
Secondly…I have made a small start on this one…La-D-Da “’Tis the Gift” again I had most of the GAST threads but have made 2 small adaptations.
I had a productive weekend, school was closed Friday due to staff training, my parents kindly offered to take the children for the day, which gave me a free day to “catch up” on household chores, I did all the housework, washing and ironing and then managed to “sort my stash”. Saturday and Sunday the children were at their Dad’s so I spend most of Saturday working on my next assignment which I completed and submitted for marking. I also managed to do those “task” which us busy mums never get around to…dying my hair a nice reddy brown colour and giving myself a pedicure complete with Christmas red painted toes :0). the evening was spent with Wes, we put up and decorated the tree and had a lovely Chinese takeaway and watch X-Factor.
Sunday we went to Mass first thing and had a meeting afterwards as Isaac is making his First Holy Communion next summer, we then went to a local garden centre with my parents, I succumbed to a fresh cream scone and a pot of Earl Grey, they had a lovely Christmas section and I bought 2 new decorations for my tree. We had a lazy afternoon until the children returned.
I hope to complete my Christmas shopping this week and finish all the wrapping too…then I can get ready for the preparations for the festive season.
Just one more picture to finish the post…a little lady wanted to be featured…lol
Thank you for all your comments on my recent posts…I really appreciate them.
Hugs & Stitches
