Getting ready for Christmas

Hi everyone,

THANK YOU ALL so MUCH for Happy Dancing with me on my big finish :D It was really special for me :)

Now I can't just sit back and spend my time looking at the finished project... there is still a ton of stuff for me to stitch for X-mas, I still want to make at least 20 X-mas ornies..., have to make the Orchids for my grandma, and want to make more 10 postcards xD... I'm hoping I'll have time for all...
So you can expect several quick finishes from my side and that means lots of piccies to make up for the 2 months of non progress pics ;)
And for those of you who haven't seen my Finish Project, I promise I'll post a pic of it on the day it's given ;)

Thank you for all your kind comments, they mean the world to me :D

HAPPY DANCE :D - MP finished

Yay... yesterday night (or should I say in the early hours of today) I finally finished my MP I'm so happy with it, I think it's looking amazing and it was the first time I finished a HAED so it's even more happy for me .... so from now until mid-November there will be no more me teasing you with MP progress and no pics... but no finished pic of it until then too :p

And now I'll be able to return to all my other projects and I'll be able to share some pictures of my progress :)
Thank you so much for all the cheer you gave me it helped me keeping stitching on it even when other projects were calling :D

More details on the Witches :) and a giveaway for you to check :)

Hi everyone I loved to read all your comments regarding my little witches... that was my first big project I had ever done, but then I was only 15 (before that the biggest was probably 40st x 60st , I think) and I really enjoyed it. And yes it was stitched on white Aida 18ct 2strands over 1 (it was the only fabric I  thought that existed for cross-stitching, such an inocent girl... I bet my wallet would appreciate if I had been kept unaware of the cross-stitching online world xD). Anyway I got it in one of the few cross-stithing magazines I had access to back in Portugal called "Los Labores de Anna" (yeps a Spanish magazine xD) it was the first cross-stitch mag I bought and I only bought it because of the witches and an alphabet it had with angels that I plan to stitch for my mum someday xD) but I did some research and for those of you interested it's the Leaflet No75 of Stoney Creek called Witches of Booville and if you searh online there are a few places where you can get it :)

Now onto my second topic there's a Halloween Giveaway going on the Hera Chronicles... what she's going to give is a total mistery but word is it's going to be gorgeous as she usually does... so if you're like me and just love a mistery pop there and check it out :) she also has soe amazing quotes for you to read ;)

MP nearly finished :)

Hi everyone :)

I'm very happy this weekend the weather is really crappy, so it's been quiet at work and therefore I'm having plenty of time to stitch and I'm now less than 10% away from finishing my MP (I have less than 2500 stitches to make :)) So I'm hoping my next post will be a very big Happy Dance post :)

And because a post isn't a proper post without some pictures, here are some of my favourite stitches that I 've done:

Tea tray for my godmother (she loves whiches) that I made nearly 10 years ago

Birth sampler for one of my cousins (I forgot to take a picture after stitching the details) 

stitched 6 years ago (I think)

Cover picture of a photo album for the first daughter of my godmother

Stitched 3 years ago....

And off I am for the last slice of my triple chocolate cake.... yummy....

Thanks for stopping by and reading :)

Happy Stitches

IHSW results and more goodies post for me...

Don't you just love when you return home and you have post that aren't bills or advertisement flyers?? I do... and today I had not one but TWO big envelopes waiting for me so I knew it couldn't be any of the above, I grabbed them on the spot and just had time to put my wallet on the floor before opening them (I was still with my coat and all that, but I was too curious to wait that 2 secs more that it takes to put the coat on its place xD) and what was waiting for me?
This was:

The gorgeous giveaway I had won at Between the Stitches 

and my monthly subscription of Cross Stitcher :)

I must say the threads are even more gorgeous than in the picture (I might think it's not possible but it's true) and the PM booklet will be used for this Christmas for sure (at least I hope so) it as such a cute small designs, they will be perfect for some more ornaments for my tree. And I could go on and on about every single item of the giveaway :D.... Thank you so much I really love it :D

Now my IHSW progress, not as much stitching as I was hoping for, but I did stitch, so I can't complain I've put another 800 stitches on my MP (pictures will be shown on Joysze blog, I think) and I now have a total of 23127 stitches done so roughly more 4600 stitches to complete it :)

Thanks for coming by :)

Halfway point of IHSW and a Giveaway
