Mystery Advent Stitch-Along - Days 11 & 12

Woo hoo! Finally caught up with myself and even going out for lunch (again) I managed to get the little stitcheries for yesterday and today finished on time.




Was in a quandary as to what colour to make the snowflake and after several attempts came up with a variegated white (DMC #4015) and a very, very pale blue (DMC # 775) which gave the white just that tinge of colour on the white background.


Have a couple of extra small 'Santa Sacks' to make to take out to lunch with us (yes another lunch) on Sunday with some friends. We will still have two more dinners out next week with other friends - I reckon Christmas is a season of weight gain and then we take the whole of the following year to get it off before we start all over again next Christmas. One could honestly think it was a conspiracy of the weight demons - but they shall not win! I am determined not to go overboard at any of the morning teas/lunches or dinners we are going to.


For now though I shall head for the craft room and cut out those extra santa sacks ready to sew up tomorrow, along with doing more on my Secret Santa project.


'Til next time, thank you for dropping by, keep stitching and take care.
