New wheels

In the morning I am fetching my New(to me) car, my beautiful Ulysse's can take no more I have had her since 2006 and no longer can I afford to run her, she drinks too much petrol, and the car tax is a little dear.
I has moved my sister so many times I cannot remember ( I can fit in a three seat sofa inside)

I will miss having a seven seater, but alas I will be the owner of a five seat hatchback again. No more moving furniture, and I will have to pay delivery once again!

So I will have a blue Kia Rio, it will be strange to drive so low down again, I was destined to be a van or Lorry driver I think LOL

I am hoping to have something to show you soon.

Door Prize and an update.

Mr postman has been today, and brought me a package from the US of A

From Lettie Eckberg of Needle's Notions

I took part in the door prize on her stall at the Needlework Show. Myself and another lady won.

I had a choice of two charts.

I love looking at charts but trying to decide just two, oh that was hard.

My first choice had to be Lucy Locket Sampler, for my DD. Of course!

and I also choose Alphabet Dolls I just thought these were adorable.

Thank you so Much Lettie!

Now on to an update on these, I have decided not to do an advent now, I am just going to make them into ornaments for the tree. I just need to find where I put the christmas fabric.

 These three are what the children have choosen for their personalised ornaments.

Lucy ~ Present, Jack ~Bear, Reece ~ Robin 

I might do the gingerbread people for me and hubby!

I have been busy the last week decorating the front room, when I remember I will take a photo to show you.

Halloween freebie

I saw that Rachel had shared this link of a cute halloween freebie, I don't normally do 'halloween'but this is cute.

UFO Sighting

Yes you heard right A UFO Sighting, a very rare sight indeed especially on my blog lately!

Back in October 2008( I think), I started a Advent Calender that was in CrossStitcher magazine. The magazine is dated Oct 2008 and I am sure I started it soon after, but I have been through my blog and cannot find any posts relating to this I wonder if they are on a forum somewhere out there in the World wide web! Strange!! Maybe the UFO took off with the posts!
Does anyone remember me doing this?

Here it is as it was when I got it out last night to take with me to Tae Kwon Do, I always try and take something to do, and I really just fancied stitching so rather than start something new which the idea was screaming at me, I thought no I will take something I haven't stitched on for quite a while.

I had already done 18 of the 25 of them.

So I finished off the tree and started on the christmas pudding.So only another 6 to go can I finish these in time for christmas. Also the numbers that go on the back.

So there you are finally a stitching post from me, see I can stitch LOL

Thanks for visiting.

For those who missed the post the fav colour was purple!

I'm sorry

for keeping you all in suspense, LOL
It was nothing spectacular I'm afraid, I couldn't decide on a wool colour for a jumper that a friend is knitting me, so I thought you all could decide for me.

Sorry if anyone thought any different!!

Ummm Purple it is!!

Looks like the overall favourite colour is Purple with Blue a close second!

New post HERE!

Thank you very much
