Christmas Eve Eve

Hellooooooo waving a wee paw at you all .... hope you are all well and surviving the run up to the celebrations ..... I will apologise in advance that no cards or presents have been sent before the big day ... I have two excuses ...lol 
1 ) lost my address book with all your address's in it ... it is somewhere in the craft room sooo if any one spots it squeak loudly ... but in the mean time can you resend me address's via my email
2)  * sigh ,I ran out of time, energy and tea bags ....

Soooooo I will be doing wee gifties throughout the year  as RAK's  and starting the preparations for next Christmas  on New Years Day heheheheh. 
My needle has been busy and I have finished the Holly and Ivy by LHN , managed to find the poinsettia button that has been missing for weeks in the hunt for said address book soo not all doom and gloom ..lol, I have also finished stitching my secret piece and hopefully with the few days I have off over the Christmas period I will be able to get more work done on finishing finishing ....and then I will be able to start my Quilt .... there is still plenty of time left if any one else would like to stitch a square for me :)
Hmmmm what else have I been doing ... quite frankly apart from work not much else, I've not even been on walk or anything with my camera or Master Bentley... but hoping that will change soon, I keep hinting at work I would like to drop a day in spring .... you have to break it gently heheheh I have now been given a posh title of "Auditor "  I said to one of my work mates it sounds like the terminator I will be back heheheheh. We had a christmas jumper day at work and a wee buffet and the money we paid in is going to be given to charity , I even sang for the office ... I think I surprised them heheheh.
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
I have decked the mantle piece out with all my christmas ornies and it looks lovely,I  even remembered to take a photo .... so now I am feeling a wee bit more festive ... the DD's and I tackled the last bit of the food shopping tonight and couldn't believe how busy it was , we actually got through quicker than we thought and should quite happily hermit for the next week on what we got ..lol 
and that is exactly what I am going to do is hermit in my craft room from Saturday onwards till Tuesday soooo if any one cares to join me feel free to pull up a chair with your stitching and I will supply tea and cake :)

Wishing you a merry Christmas love Master Bentley
