I have a childfree day today so have spent some time deciding some of my stitching plans for 2012. I have decided to stitch at least one Christmas ornament a month…a personal SAL! I have listed them all in my sidebar to keep a track of them.
I have also pulled out quite a few charts to stitch for me, ones I have been wanting to stitch for a while but not quite got around to stitching them. The four Sampler Girl designs will be stitched for the weekly TSG SAL at Needlecraft Haven, the others I will work through throughout the year, once I have completed them I will pull out some more to stitch.
I have now emailed my 4 private exchange partners and have chosen the designs I am going to stitch for each of them, I cannot reveal these until they have been exchanged of course.
Here are the designs I have decided to stitch for myself…so far…
CCN – Sheep in the Meadow
Shepherd’s Bush – Dancing Lambs
CCN – Summer Strawberries
CCN – Ladybugs & Bumblebees
TSG – Coasting Day
TSG – Witch School Sampler
TSG – Jane Austen Love Letter
iStitch – Sew Lavender
Milady’s Needle – A Gift From A Friend
The above design was a Christmas gift from my treasured friend Michelle, along with a beautiful Cath Kidston mug in a tin and some pretty thread.
I received some lovely gifts including a Friends charm chart from Kath, Downton Abbey Series 1 DVD from the children, Sister Act 1 & 2 double DVD pack and lovely Ice Musk smellies from Wes, Noa perfume, a beautiful beaded necklace and a rose scented candle from my parents, stationery, calendar etc from my penpals..well and truly spoilt.
I have started stitching on “Mother Hens”…I managed this stitching on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day nights (whilst watching Downton!)
The children had a fabulous day and were spoilt rotten of course…here are a few pictures of them opening their gifts…
Modelling their Christmas scarves!
That’s all for now folks…..enjoy the rest of your Christmas
