January w.i.p's...

...aren't i at a good start for January???? Just smalls to begin with but hope these all be done before the end of January though especially the Valentine's designs! Let's see how far i can get with my stitching this year. Last year was very very POOR!! Too busy and un-organized!!!

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my previous post!! I do hope you all have a lovely start of the week!

"Nieuwjaarsduik 2013"(New Year's Dive 2013)

Yeeeeees! I did it again!!! I wasn't planning too when a friend called a couple of days before the event. It was rainy & strong winds so i said i rather not but during New Year's Eve it was dry and wasn't so windy anymore i decided to join for the dive the following day!!

Here's a couple of pics....Brrrrrrrr, it was coooooooooold when we arrived at the beach, outside temperature out there was only 2 degrees celcius because of the wind and sea water temperature was around 6 degrees celcius!

I wish everyone a great start for 2013!!

Wishing you all a....

& all the best for 2013!!

I'm leaving soon....

...for the airport. Flying home tonight to visit family, my parents especially due to their health issues. Kind of unexpected so it has been very very busy lately.

 I do feel guilty i haven't made any (ornaments) to send out for Christmas, just really haven't had the time for stitching. I am so sorry. I am back here the 21st and just me and the kids for Christmas as hubby is away for work and be back the third week of January.

 Picture below was taken this weekend, Chris and i celebrated our birthday together last saturday, his actual day & me in advance...

Hope everyone have a good start of the month! See you all in three weeks.

...and the winner...

Congrats! Please send me your address info and will post it as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for stopping by and all the best wishes. Had the colds for about a week it sure not pleasant especially when there's a lot to be done and going to work. Glad it's over, though the kids have it on and off. probably from school and they sure take it home....

No stitching done for a couple of weeks so nothing to show for now.
Hope everyone's having a good week.
