Older and tireder

It was my birthday on Friday...hooray I love birthdays. I got a lovely necklace, Grey's Anatomy Season 4 on DVD, and lovely bowl and a massage. Brilliant! However, I am now excruciatingly tired...I had a pretty big weekend...went out on Fri and Sat nights, had an aerobics workshop on Sunday, had to prepare a presentation for a conference next week. Too much. Now that I'm 25 I can't quite handle as much...whinge whinge.

But, beside that I have done a bit of stitching.

I am currently participating in a Christmas round robin and secret santa. I finished my Secret Santa piece, but have decided not to show it on here for the moment. I will wait till I send it out. Needless to say, I am incredibly proud of myself. I sewed my little christmassy piece into an ornament and made and attached my own cording! I'm beaming :)

I have done a bit more work on my puss cat for my other round robin. He is below.

Isn't he cheeky!? Loving him to bits :) Should finish him in the not too distant future, then I can get back to Stroke of Midnight...I am actually missing her and very much want her finished.

Paris is also coming along. I'm a little bit nervous that I won't get it done it time...but I must remember Christmas is still a good 5 weeks away.

This probably doesn't actually look that different from my last post. There would be more white, and more backstitch. Looking forward to getting this done so I don't have to work on things in secret (I think it also means that I am spending more time on this when I should be studying...naughty).

I have also done a bit of spending. I bought '501 Cross stitch designs' by Sam Hawkins. I used to borrow it from the library when I was a teen. I feel all nostalgic now owning. Plus it will be great for my Christmas round robin :)

I also bought the lastest editions (available in Australia) of Cross Stitch Gold and Cross Stitch Collection. I have a problem. As we have all thought at some point..."when will I ever have time to work on all these?!?!"


Anyway. That's probably about it. Thanks so much to those who have read and commented on my blog. Keeps me motivated. Have a lovely week! :)
