NO STITCHING update at all!! Too busy and too tired to sit and stitch. I had planned on making a couple of christmas ornaments to send out to friends before the end of November but it is now the last day of November and i haven't made any at all. Looks like not much stitchy gifts to send out this season.
Here's a few pictures of what's been done here the last two weeks. Pictures from yesterday haven't uploaded yet.
Hubby is nearly done with all the electricity wirings especially for the living room and the barn...the 'barn' acually will be turn into a guestroom.
The door from the living room to the kitchen.
The workmen are really working hard, even took overtime last night till around 10pm as they had to remove the kitchen, the wall connected to the playroom and the old cement floor as they had to place the new cement flooring early this afternoon. It was planned for thursday but because of the expected frost the next coming days the cement mixer wouldn't be able to come.
It means, i can't do baking anymore till the kitchen will be return, hopefully after two weeks if all goes well as planned with the works.
CHRIS 11th birthday tomorrow and he wants some sausages wrapped in puff pastry for treats at school so i asked one of my friends to use her oven for this. Chris is a bit disappointed that we aren't going to celebrate it as we are too busy and too small place for visitor's where we are staying so we promised to celebrate it end of January when we are settled back to our house and hubby is back from his work as he is due to leave sometime next week to Italy.
I hope everyone is keeping warm and having a good week.
Welcome!.... this is where i can share my hobbies, mainly stitching at the moment. And also just about anything....my family, my friends...

My goodness Mylene - with everything you have going it's no wonder you can't find to stitch!! All that food looks absolutely wonderful and it looks like your new home is coming along great. I'll bet you can't wait until it's finished.
As always those desserts look too yummy! The house is coming along slowly but surely, I imagine you will be happy to be finally done with it all, it sounds like it has been keeping you way too busy. Happy 11th birthday to your son Chris, I hope he has a good day. Hugs!
Happy birthday to Chris for tomorrow :-)
The work on the house is coming along great, i think the buidlers and your husband have made great progress.
I've been really busy this week and not had time to show the pyn keep i received from you on my blog, hopefully by the end of the week i will have caught up on all my jobs.
Have a great week :-)
Oooo Mylene I did not realise you were having building works too!
We are still in a mess with our extension but we are seeing more progress and hopefully will be finished by Christmas.
Looking forward to seeing the finished build.

Dear Mylene,
don`t be sad, it is certainly evident in many of these work, you can not find time and peace for embroidery.Certainly in the new year it will be better.
Congratulations to Chris to his 11th birthday
All the best to you all
greetings
