Not as an amusing title today as the other day lol! My snowman is still headless and handless and the owl still blind but next Wednesday they should be better! Thank you for all your lovely comments.
Yesterday Chris came for the afternoon and we had a lovely afternoon chatting, having cuppas and buns I'd made fresh that day. We were good and only had one each! The last few years we've done a private ornament exchange and this year was no exception. This is my ornament for Chris which I've happy to say she loved.

For Chris
And this is what Chris stitched for me which I absolutely love! I don't have any stockings on my tree so this is perfect and it's a Blackbird Designs too:) Thank you so much Chris xxx
On Thursday I stitched a bit more on Tra La La Snowman , the December SAL with Chris and Lesleyanne, which I love! My snowman addiction is well and truly coming out again lately!
Last night I finished a gift which I can't show yet and then picked up Renato Parolin Joy again and am hoping to have it finished tonight while I watch Strictly Come Dancing. I've never watched it before until this series as it's always been X factor for me but I'd rather watch Strictly and would love Harry to win!
Finally here's Father Christmas again with days 9 & 10 of my lovely advent calendar from Lisa. Yesterday was the SB Red Snowman chart ( a must stitch in 2012!) and today was some gorgeous silver Madeira metallic thread:) Thank you so much Lisa {{{{hugs}}}}.
That's all for today! I'm getting excited for my birthday and at last I'm getting excited for Christmas! I thought I was going to feel numb about it right through ( won't go into detail here as I've written about it on my other blog) so am happy to start feeling excited!
Take care everyone.
Until next time.........
Lots of love and hugs
Sally

The ornies you and Chris exchanged are wonderful. Love your advent calendar from Lisa; how unique and fun. And, how is the headless, handless snowman and his sightless friend, the owl? Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
What lovely ornaments you stitched for each other! That snowman is turning out so cute, love the colour of his scarf, and Joy will be a lovely ornament.
I'd love Harry to win too!
oh nice exchange Sally, I am torn on the strictly I would like Chelsea to win I think but then again Harry is so good too.
Love the gift from Lisa ,all those snowmen you will have a big puddle if they start melting.
See you tomorrow.
Great exchange and great projects Sally!
I'd say you and Chris both received perfectly lovely pieces from each other, Sally! And your newest snowman is so sweet. I was stitching one myself this weekend--they are kind of addicting, aren't they!
Both of the ornaments exchanged are absolutely stunning! Great job to both of you.
Lovely exchange - congratulations to you both!
Hope to see the snowman finished soon :)
Hugs,
Tatyana
Great ornaments,Sally
However, Chelsea to win!
