Hello everyone! (a wee bit of a boring post...sorry!)
It's been ages since I've updated my blog. Only two more weeks left before the Christmas break and I'm really looking forward to it. How it got to December 9th, I'll never know. December always creeps up on me then I start to feel the panic when I realize how close we are to Christmas. I've been catching up on blog reading which is great because you are all getting me into the Christmas spirit. So many wonderful posts with people's Christmas stitching and trees makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, which is a good thing because it's cold here! Freezing in fact! I wish I could share all the stitching/finishing I have been doing but since it was for my giveaway winners and an exchange, I can't. Meari and I are doing a mailart exchange. I had so much fun putting it together and can't wait to show it!!
As of late, I have been on a crochet kick and have been steadily working on my granny square afghan. It got a little wonky in the middle but after researching why, I figured out how to fix the problem. I don't mind it being wonky since it's my first one and we all learn from our mistakes. It really bothered me at first but I think that after it's complete, it won't be so noticeable. The other night I made a cute little mug cozy and fixed it with a button. I think I'll whip up more of these since it was so fast to create.
I did start the Magic Garden by Shakespeare's Peddlar a few months ago and just picked it up last night. It's slow going on 40 count fabric and I feel weird stitching something unseasonal right now! I should be making Christmas gifts!!
Very little progress on the chicken...reports and giveaway gifts got in the way of finishing this handsome fella
Today my hubby and I went for a winter walk down to the quay. We saw a murder of crows in the trees and I took a lot of cool photos. Too bad I didn't have a good zoom lens to get great close ups.
Of course I had to take photos of my favourite logs sticking out of the river. I love the mirrored images on the still water.

Pretty ornaments in trees
Cute Christmas tree in the Quay
We still need to put up our tree. I am hoping to do it tonight if hubby will be up to getting it out of storage. He's still not all that well. Loads of appointments in our future. Let's just hope for some answers soon.
Thank you for all your comments on Hannah. I feel somehow lost a bit without a sampler to work on. I have two other big WIP's (Tea bath fairy and Knotgarden) that I should finish before anything else, but I am too addicted to samplers. My husband is getting worried about my addiction...lol! He should be worried since I have many more I want to stitch up!!
Take care everyone!
Hugs
