To get in the mood!!!
Because...
I thought I would remind you all who is coming soon ;-) I hope I didn't hear any groans?...Are you all feeling Christmassy?? I'm not there quite yet but will be soon as I will start and decorate my blog and house maybe this coming weekend :-)) I had also better do some Christmas shopping before there is nothing left...there is still plenty of time though, isn't there?
Whilst I am still doing secret stitching I thought I would show you this picture that I must have stitched about 9 years ago for the first Christmas in our house. It is from the St.Nick Folio by Shepherds Bush. I stitched it on 32ct that has a silver lurex thread through the weave so it sparkles!! I really love the buttons on this, it does also have white beads on it but my pictures are a bit rubbish and I couldn't decide which was the better one so have put them both on ;-) I framed it myself as you can probably tell!
I am nearly finished with my secret stitching for the exchanges and now only have the Valentine one left to do. I am really looking forward to stitching that one and have very much enjoyed doing the stitching for the other 3 exchanges. I only have one to post this side of Christmas but wanted to do them all early so I could take my time....correction.... to make sure I did actually have the time, as it has taken me nearly 3 weeks of the time I have, to do what I have done, if that makes sense...lol
Now I have some finishing to do but I really enjoy that part. I think my plans for any Christmas stitched gifts will not happen, I will have to see, but if I do any I will have nothing much stitch - wise to put on my blog until January as it would be a secret. Then again, I am sure to find something else for the blog as I will put some pictures on of my tree and decorations when I have them done ;-) plus anything else I can think of :)
Have a lovely week and I will be back in a week or so and hope to catch up with all your blogs and my emails and all the other things I am supposed to be doing. That should happen towards the end of the week and I really don't mean to be neglecting anybody in the mean time :)

Groaning? Me? LOL! I wish I could stitch with my toes, though!
Your Christmas picture is just lovely. I've been getting Christmas cards, so I'm getting in the mood!
That Shepherd’s Bush design is adorable, the buttons are great :) I am excited for Christmas this year, the ornaments, the gathering of family and friends, the pine smell… it just makes a girl happy.
Good to hear from you again! I love that little SB piece! Yep, just about getting ready to accept that Christmas is coming. DH wants to buy the tree this weekend. He has to wait until I am home - the darned trees just don't fit in his Corvette - LOL!
I'm definitely looking forwards to Christmas, although I won't be accomplishing too much Christmas stitching. But there's always next year....;-D
Your Shepherd's Bush Christmas picture is really pretty. I know it is supposed to be getting close, but I don't feel Christmassy yet either. Where I live it is warm but we have real cold weather coming in tonight so maybe it will feel more like it in the coming days. I am working on this lighthouse project for my MIL for Christmas though. The holidays will be here before we know it!

What a lovely piece Helen.
Am I right in thinking that your blog name used to be Homespun Elegance? I'm sure that is what I have saved on my computer.
Finished my shopping - na na na na na!! LOL!!!
Hopefully Mark will get the decs from the loft whilst I'm away this weekend for me to start putting up on Sunday when I get back.
Love your pictures by the way - have I seen this piece???
What a sweet Christmas piece. As always your presentation is amazing.

I love your piece of Santa's coming to town, it's adorable.
Oh what lovely things! See you in a bit!
Very sweet, Helen! I love your vintage-looking Christmas decorations, too. Tell that sweet daughter of yours that we would love to see another post soon!
I will confess to an inward groan escaping as each day in December passes. I have a hard time keeping up normally, but Christmas just throws me for a loop. But today the kids' tree went up in the family room and they've happily decorated it. Yay!
Lovely work Lena-Lou! It's nice to have memories of past years owing to what we made for previous Xmasses. I'm astonished that you're already stitching for valentine. Congratulations from France.
