The last 2 weeks have been very busy, Extra hours at work,equals  less stitching time.A  Major earthquake 7.8 hit the east coast of New Zealand. I was woken up just after midnight on the 14th November, by the violent shaking. Lucky no damage, other then lack of sleep for me. But the region that I grew up in Marlborough was hit badly. Large cracks, large land slides and major damage everywhere. There is even parts where the road has been uplifted several meters.

So the only stitching that I have managed to get done is to finish stitching some Christmas ornaments. I have also completely finished them. They are hanging on my light tree for a little bit.

 I also made the fabric balls for the tree a few more of them to finish yet, but they are coming along nicely.

 I have also managed to achieve a bit of work on my mirabilia "Rose Arbour" first photo starting point, second photo  where I got to.

I also spent a few evenings working on my ink circles design " circus of the hearts" 

I managed to also stitch a little ornament by the little stitcher "cookies"

 my progress from another couple of evenings on the scarlet letters by black bird designs.

When you look at it I actually got a lot done. 

Its time to start thinking about decorating for Christmas, so may show so of that next time. 

Keep stitching all the things you love,

I have had a busy end to the month. My granddaughter Mila was born on the 19th October. A sweet little girl. So my stitching time has been a little shorter then normal. But I have managed to get  quite a bit accomplished.

Achievement 1: Dusty Rose (Heaven and earth design) I have made it all the way to the end of the top row. I am happy, that I have reached half way thru my goal for this wip, for the year of wips challenge.

Achievement 2: Another Heaven and Earth Design - New Owl, Only a little bit of progress this month.

Achievement 3: another Heaven and earth design "French Filigree" managed to complete 3 more pages, so 5 out of 30 pages done. This one is stitching up quickly. I am really happy with my choice of purple for the second colour.

I have also managed to achieve my second year of wips challenge finish.
