Well it certainly won't be me!!
I think I mentioned last time I was going to stitch Gone Sledding by The Sampler Girl .It was a quick stitch but I only got it finished this morning.
Looking at the pics now the snowman seems to have veered off a little on his sled.
Perhaps he has been on the boozy juice,Barb you must not judge everyone by your own standards! I jest of course.
Well folks are you all prepared for the day itself, I still have things to wrap and one thing to post ,but all in all I have got everything anyway.Just need to rob a bank as the grandchildren (older ones)want money.
I have not been stitching this last few nights, I have been -- knitting-- do you remember I started these socks for Martin a while ago. That long I could have sworn I had finished one and told Julie so. However I had not , and only got down to the heel on the first one. So thought I would get them done. Martin is a hole in the sock man ,forever getting holes in his socks. So I have told him with all the loving effort ( wink) gone into making these he had better get his mum to darn them if he gets a hole in them. He says they are lovely toasty warm,tried them on when Ifinished them last night and wouldnt take them off. Now have I started something here,am I going to live to regret it!!!!!!!!!
So here are said socks
Perhaps I could borrow Martins socks to rob the bank lol.
That is my makes for this week .
I did have a couple of little gifts this week though. One is still under the tree which was from Angi, and argh it is tempting me so badly. So cannot show you that .
The other was from my friend SAL Sally , isn't it cute.
I did say to her though I think you are all stuck with the old one I don't think there is anychance of a new me.
It is a Tanya from the sampler girl design in the Gift of Stitching Magazine. Sheep too so well ,what was there not to like. Thanks again Sally a friend indeed.
You may (or may not )be wondering what I have propped the pinkeep up on with Winter Woolies on the inside it is this-
Just had to show you that didn't I.
Well the mug is empty and I really must drink more,forever being told,just not the Gin mother! Hee hee I am now going to put the kettle on and make a cuppa ,want to joing me. If I do not get here again before the 9sleeps are up ,stay safe and have a good Christmas .
Hugs n stuff

Your Gone Sledding ornament is fabulous! The pin keep is absolutely adorable. And the socks look so toasty warm! It's freezing over here, wish I had a pair like that (and not to rob a bank with, although that's not a bad idea!).
Merry Christmas!

That ornament is beautiful !!
A lovely finish Barb. We could go sledding up here as the snow really came down yesterday afternoon and with temps donw to -10 last night and not getting above freezing last night it is still here!!
Glad you liked your little gift!

Oh Barb...that is SOOO cute with your additions to finish it! Humm....I will go sledding if you will. We can roll down the hill together laughing. :-) We might look like giant snowmen ourselves by the time we get to the bottom. Lol!
This year has been extra special with you as a part of my blogging world!
Merry Christmas dear Barb!
Christmas hugs,
Heidi
