Home Again, Home Again, Jiggedy-Jig.

Helloooo!

Finally, five minutes to sit down and make a blog post :)

The kids and I had a fabulous time in New Zealand.  Spending time with my parents, my sister and my nephews was wonderful.

Now, before I get sidetracked, I need to say a big thank you to Sharine.  She drew my name as the winner for her 123stitch voucher giveaway!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have a 123 shopping cart filled with the floss I need for the January "Crazy 15" so it will be going towards that.  Yaaaaay!!!

Now, being on holiday and having nothing that I had to do, meant I was able to get a wee bit of stitching done!  I took the L*K ABC with me and managed to stitch a little on the plane, quite a bit over several evenings and one morning, when Lily decided it was a good idea to be up at 6am, I got a fair bit more done then too.

Yes, I did stitch on the plane.  Yes, I was allowed my embroidery scissors and No, customs officers have no idea what a needle threader is.  LOL.  They stopped me to search my bag, not for scissors but for this:

Jacob and Lily were absolute angels at the airport and on the plane, both directions.  I'm so proud of them.

Have just realised I missed IHSW this month but I did get a satisfactory amount of stitching done anyway.  I'll endeavor to catch up on all your blogs over the next few days.
