Winner, winner, turkey dinner...

Good evening folks, without further ado, the winner of my hexie giveaway is…

No1!!!  Love that.

Congratulations Helen!  Feel free to pass them on ;)

And thank you all for letting me know I am not alone on the long-standing WIP naughty step; I am feeling a little less sorry for myself now!

I hope I get to count this as a FAL finish, otherwise I will score a cool zero this quarter!

Well I can't promise that you will hear from me again this side of Christmas, although I am under the hopefully not too misguided illusion that I am on schedule, all sorted and prepared.

I finished up all my festive makes on the weekend, and stoopidly wrapped most of them up unphotographed, so I will try to get some snaps on the day without looking too weird.

So have a very merry, relaxed and happy Christmas everyone.  I hope Santa is good to you and that you and yours get at least one quality nap in front of the TV!

See you before the year is out my friends, joyeux noël xxx

Surfacing...

Just popping my head above parapet to say 'Hello' and hoping that you have all had a wonderful week.

I have ignored emails, haven't checked out any blogs and have only perused Instagram in the infrequent quiet times, but everyone seems quite content.

I have managed a tiny bit of hand-sewing, making slow progress on my Amitié Mystery BOM, but that's about it, other than full-on family fun, food and games.

Although it is currently below freezing, we have remained snow-free, fully electrified and without illness.  We still have ample treats to eat, and the last of the turkey will probably be used up tomorrow.  We have braved the sales, and spent Christmas vouchers, my post-Christmas contribution to the economy has been a half-priced calendar and a Uni-Kitty keyring/torch.  Success.

I do need to start working on summarising my year, checking my FAL finishes and preparing my 2015 plans.

I will be back in a day or so.  Keep eating the chocolate xxx
