It's been so dark.
Well I have not liked the start of this month , no sun and it's so dark . I need sunshine in my life it lifts my sprit .
So what have I been doing , still busy but in the few moments I get for myself I have been stitching cards , can't show you yet .
I have been wrapping gifts and writing out lots of cards . We have loads of Christmas get together coming up very soon. So I have to be very organised .
I have also had PC problems , so I will catch up soon with your blogs .
I have been off allot on my PC but hoping I am back now
This month is flying and there is always loads to get on with . So hoping I can find more stitching time some where.
At the moment we are having a big storm with high winds called Bert, wish us luck.
I am sorry I have not not been able to get to all your blogs the last few weeks but will try and get back very soon .
I did manage to stitch a couple of Christmas designs but no finishing again , in the new year I will try and finish my box full ! in to some nice gifts .
So back to what I have been working on .
First one is by LHN = He's a flake .
I have started to use up all my big bag of fabrics off cuts .
So sorry don't know the name of fabric.

November !
Hi all ,
It's November today ! wow the time again is rushing away with me .
This year I said I would start early for Christmas and I have , but now I think I should stitch all year around for Christmas and mix it in with my other stitching.
I am still closing the garden down cutting plants right back ready for next year and planting bulbs .
I have been stitching some Christmas designs , but missed the Autumn stitching out this year. I just don't like rushing my stitching , I like to enjoy it .
I have been planning out my stitching for next year and think I will go back to rotating my larger stitching every week with 3 smaller designs , I will see , I also want to stitch more felt ornaments to. But then I might change my mind again !
That's me all over , I do change my mind allot.
I don't like Winter and the dull days.
So this week I stitched A winter house again for the Stick , I have stitched this one before but thought I would stitch it again, for a gift .
I am looking forward to the last one which is a bird .
Thank you Martina and Manuela for the work you put behind it,
--------------------------
So this is a short post this time I will leave you with some stitching from the past.
Sorry about this but a very busy time for me. Enjoy hugs June.

It's been wet .
Hello friends ,
Our weather has been very wet again, I might buy a few ducks soon they would love it here.
I have stitched another Christmas ornament and a few more cards . I need to get in front this year last year I was so late starting I did not enjoy the run up to Christmas .
I like to be organised but sometimes it hard to stay focused .
From Cross Stitcher October 2019.
Designed Cheryl McKinnon.
Went out for lunch yesterday , and what did I see ?
Christmas it's here already .

It's getting colder.
Yes I find it so cold and wet , but they say it's going to get warmer!
Our weather is up and down so you never know what to wear.
I have now got all my holiday cloths all washed and ironed . Now I am getting my head around Christmas , I have started to stitch a few cards , and started a few more ornaments.
We had lunch with our daughter and GD also two of our GGDs
The little ones oh they are so beautiful .
I am looking forward to cosy nights with my stitching now .
Day times when I am free will have to start writing cards out and wrapping gifts .
I have already brought a few gifts and need to find more so I can get things posted early.
The family will have money so they can buy what they want , easy for us and they like this better .
So I have made a start , towards Christmas early, but I am always rushing come the end.
So first up is a nice little stitch by Faye Welsh , she also designed last weeks .
I got last weeks designer wrong and they were both in the Cross Stitcher mag.
I found my little box again that I stitched back in 2011 , thought you might like to see it again.
