Almost here !

 Well not long now, the weeks are rushing by, are you ready for the big day, I am getting there after very busy weeks . This morning we had coffee with friends out and did a gift swap at the same time.

It's so lovely to get with friends at this time of the year , when you only get in touch by phone or email most of the year. 

Also good to spend time with our family again after we all lead  busy lives. 

I do have some stitching to show , and some lovely stitched cards and gifts .

Oh it has been bitter cold the last week, and now it's milder with heavy rain and strong winds  not sure what I like  best , cold or rain . Our poor garden birds are not happy when the water is frozen  so we have been trying to keep them fed and watered . I have not fully decorated this year we have cut down a little .

I have planned to join in Martina's and Manuela's stitch along for the New Year looking forward to this .

I will make other plans also for the New Year , which will  include rotating my UFOs , and some new stitching of  charts I want to stitch , so lets see how I get on . 

So I did get to finish this UFO  .
