I've done it!

I was over pessimistic this morning, honest, just look at me finishing within the day! Wow, am I pleased?


Now off to assemble the whole thing, I've got an idea in my head involving some patchwork.

I think now I am motivated to hang it up THIS Christmas!

Take good care everyone,

Almost there

I have tried all my best to finish it by now, but still a bit to go. Hope to be ready for the 1st December so I could start assembling my 12 Days!



And some lovely roses, although almost faded now, but they were a delight.



Grey and cold over here, I am staying indoors. Real wintry weather!

Keep warm, have a good week,

Advancing

... but very gently. Had a stab at nr 10 of the 12 days, last and least preferred, unfortunately.


Have to finish it! MUST!

Knitting

This weekend I tried my hand at some knitting, and made a quick scarf in pastel pink. I must admit I have not touched the cross stitch, and I must, at all cost, finish my 10th day in the Christmas series and begin to assemble my two banners. Well, more to come.


Until next time,

Have a very good week,

My 12 day of the 12th Days

Well, it took me a while! But here goes now.



And also another quick stitch for a Christmas card.



Sorry, am a bit late over here and getting ready for work tomorrow, so I wish you all a good week ahead. I leave you with a picture of my street adorned in autumn's colours.

Love to you all,

More cross stitch

Advancing nicely with my 12 days, but plagued by a heavy cold, I could not even go and see my granddaughter this week, real shame. Instead my DH went over and took a video of her for me, so I could at least see her from a distance. And not to mention my daily supply of emails with photo attachments from my DiL, I do keep in touch, but really want to keep my germs to myself.

Here goes my 12th day from the series.



And a little card for a friend called Joy!



Wishing you all a lovely weekend,

Not Sunday roast

Instead tomatoes stuffed with beef and turkey mix, delicious!



Followed by apple tart, also scrumptious.



And I got a big pumpkin today to see if I could make some soup and other recipes found in the book my dearest bought me.



And a couple of baby clothes I bought for my little Olivia, too cute, I could not resist sharing this.


Hope your Sunday menu was as tasty as mine was!

Have a good week ahead,
