Well, as much as I’d love to push it back as much as possible, it’s just come creeping in… I know you know what I’m talking about, and I don’t want to upset anyone – Halloween hasn’t been yet for goodness sake! But the thing is, if you’re a little crafter like me, planning and organisation are essential skills. So as much as I’d love to start on another blanket, Christmas is calling. Only a faint little cry for the moment. Just enough to get me thinking of potential presents, ideas for cards, new decorations to make. So last night, I made a start on this cute little cross stitch number which I’m sure will look rather dainty on a card.
But then again, I just can’t get myself to use the “Christmas” tag for this post. Can we please wait a little longer? Until the start of November at least. And then, it’ll be full on extravaganza. Just wait and see…. Actually, no, don’t wait and see!! I’m totally making this up, there won’t be an extravaganza this year – will there even be a tree? Oh the dilemmas I face when I plan on going back to my mum’s in France rather than hosting the whole shebang over here!!!! Then again, I'm told there are worse things in life... ;-)

I'll go to France for you if you like - sounds a much better option to me! xxx
Ok, stupid question time...
What thread is that you are cross stitching with?
It doesn't look like my usual two strands of DMC...
Oooh Christmas in France!! How lovely. You can always have a tree up here as well. I have one especially for my stitched ornies. xx
Oooh, just found your blog - lovely!! I'm new to Blogland - finding it very addictive - so much lovely stuff out there! Your blanket is to die for - I live not far from Brecon.... And your crumble looks yummy! Well done on starting on stuff for C - as you say, if you're going to make things, then you do have to be planning it now, which is not exactly living in the now! Great blog - I shall be bacK :)
ooo the little heart is so cute! Yeah people on the blogosphere - especially the crafters - are all thinking xmas! I'm still focused on halloween but I'm already organising our uni xmas party...and a cottage weekend for feb...and trying to get out and see things here - too hectic! xxx
It's totally ok to talk about Christmas in mid-October I think. I only baulk when it's August and people start producing stuff.
My crafty Christmas is going to be substantially reduced this year, no home-made cards but hopefully a couple of blankets as Christmas presents, I thought it was an ok trade off!
