It's Nearly Xmas!! More Stash Incoming =]

When I last posted I was trying to work out the symbols for one of my new kits but gave up, well  about a week after I must have spent about an hour or so trying to work them all out only to discover that I had a set of threads missing. so I Emailed the shop where I bought them from as I thought it could just be that I had to use 2 different colour stands when stitching for that symbol. They were ever so apologetic about the missing chart and send out one for me the next day. I wondered how many of the threads and symbols I had got right and it was all but 2 that I had gotten the wrong way around. Unfortunately I was actually missing one of the colours that I needed. 
As it was black Friday I thought lets have a look to see what crafts sites have on offer and I'll get the colour thread that I need, as I didn't have one or an equivalent one in my pokemon stash. Normally at this time of year I like to do a festive cross stitch design, but this year I've not been able to find one that I really like. I did end up buying a frame for my York cross stitch to make it easier for me to do (Unfortunately it was too small for that but was fine for my tiger kit). I also bought a rottweiler chart and everything for it from one site which is going to be one of my Xmas pressies off my partner, as it happens one of the threads in it was the missing colour from my York kit. My partner also bought me a Thomas Kinkade Disney cross stitch I don't know which one as I really couldn't choose which was my favourite.

I've not done much stitching since my last post, I've had a few late nights and I've been doing a big winter clean of the house ready for putting my Christmas decorations up which I was meant to be doing today, but got distracted by craft things :D 

So here's where I am:


My aim is to finish this page before Christmas, I am working a lot so I will have to see how far I get, hopefully if I don't finish the page I will be close to finishing. I do have the weekend after Christmas off so I'll be able to do some then, though it is very likely I'll start my other kits as well.

Happy Stitching Everyone and Merry Christmas =]
