I have now heard that my last two ornaments have reached their destinations.
This was sent to Joyce in Texas who was my partner on the Friendly Stitchers group. It's Noel by Log Cabin Needleworks, stitched on 18ct Rustico with DMC threads. I really love this design and will be stitching it again for myself ~ hopefully soon.
Sandra in Wales was my partner for TGOSM group's ornament exchange and I stitched Winter by The Stitcherhood. Another design that I really like ~ this one is on 32ct Sand Linen with DMC threads. I have already stitched this one for myself on a smaller scale.
I'm still stitching ornaments for the Christmas Ornament Challenge 2011 but they will probably all be staying in our home. I'm hoping to finish my Secret Santa piece for Tuesday Stitching group ~ we'll be exchanging these at our Christmas dinner mid-month.
Today has been spent shopping with the LM ~ at a fairly sedate pace I have to say, although the trip on public transport nearly ruined the day! LM doesn't really "do" public transport. In addition to Christmas things we have been investigating new phones ~ so many handsets/deals/bundles, and would you expect to hear words like gingerbread & ice cream sandwich in a phone shop?
There are those of you out there who know that in our house the LM does most of the cooking, including some very lovely cakes ~ well not today! Tonight we've had homemade roasted butternut squash & sweet potato soup and I'm feeling quite pleased with myself as it was very tasty, there's even leftovers for another day. We have a surplus of apples so tomorrow I may make Eve's pudding ~ a favourite of mine as my lovely Mum made it many times for us.
I'm off to watch Strictly ~ enjoy your evening.
