December GG

Hello again everyone it's time for our last Gifted Gorgeousness of the year.  GG is hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching.  Paradise has suffered greatly in the last few weeks.  Between the holidays and me starting school I've barely touched it.

Last month I had finished the page:

This month I'm here:
Not even a page.  And most of that was in the first week.  I think my education killed my bug lol.

However Halloween Banner Green has seen some love

Last time:

Now:

This was done in the car on the drive down and back from Seaworld.  Around 6 hours total.  And some was done a week before that at a group with some local stitching ladies.  

Alas no more will be done for a while as this weekend I have my sister in law coming to stay with us and then 2 days after she leaves we have my mom coming to stay with us for Christmas.  I'm going to teach her how to stitch counted.  She's only ever done stamped so this should be interesting.  She chose HAED's You Can Leave Your Hat On as her first piece LOL!  I got my mother in law started stitching too she's working on a Tilton Crafts piece which is the Dalmation (sic).  I'll update you all as it they go!  

Thanks for stopping by I hope my bug comes back soon.  I think once the holidays are over I can find a routine with my new job, school and stitching.  I've had my eye on HAED's Falling Snow for several months so once we play catch up with my paychecks I may have to get it.  

See you all next time with hopefully a large update.  I probably won't be back until the new year though so just in case Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Nice progress on both GG pieces. Just wait until after the holidays, then you will find some leisure time and I'm sure your stitching bug will come back by then.

    Beautiful stitching!
    I think it's great that your Mom wants to jump right in with a HAED. Happy stitching:)

    The holidays are always tough on stitching time. It's fun watching more words pop up on Paradise. Merry Christmas!

    I tried the same thing with my mother and it failed horribly, so I wish you better luck than I had! Oh, and check your inbox.

    Great progress on both your lovely projects. Wow, a family of stitchers. If mom gives up on her "HAED start", well, that's one more HAED for you, lol. Have a wonderful Christmas:)

    Great progress on your Halloween banner! It must be good to have a break from Paradise now and again.
    That's a very cheeky design your Mum is planning to stitch! Nothing like jumping in both feet first.

    Sadly we have all been bitten, and some recover faster than others!

    Thanks for taking part in GG this year. The Hallowe'en banner is looking amazing. It's nice to have a monochrome for travelling.
