Mooch and Earl are looking over their list that they are giving to Santa. I can imagine that it is loaded with catnip toys, lots of treats and many empty boxes for that purr~fect nap!
Santa has my list and I must have been very good this year! I left a clever comment on Catsparella blog, which entered me into a contest and I won this Fancy Feast Feline Ornament. I never win anything! Well I should say almost never and was absolutely thrilled when I got a message that I was the lucky winner. I think that it makes a wonderful addition to my feline tree. Yes BTW you do see a little red bird that hangs on the tree with all the cats? Well they need something to keep them amused, don’t they?
Like I said, I must have been very good as not only did I win that ornament, I won one of the Advent giveways that Sheena’s Sweet Stitches has been featuring on her blog. She has a new Christmas trivia question to answer everyday and then you submit your name when you answer correctly. Well I won that day! I have been answering the question every day since… well it is fun, but I haven’t been always submitting my name. I already won, so I want to leave a chance for others to be the lucky one for the day.
This is my loot! Swarovski 5mm Siam Crystals, 2 packages of brads and an exclusive magent from Bedecked and Beadazzled! Thank you so much Sheena!
Now maybe on the other hand I have to say that I wasn’t really that good afterall. I am stitching my fingers to the bone as I try to get as many of the NeedleDeeva cupcakes done as I can before Christmas. I was almost finished with the icing part of one of the tops and as came around to meet…well I am sure that you can figure out what I am going to say next. Well there was an error somewhere as it didn’t line up! Where is that mistake? I am thinking that I wandered off the count when I was with a group of sticthers the other day. I guess that I can’t talk and stitch…well at least count and stitch at the same time! It was a few hours taking it out and then 3 hours and 37 minutes to restitch it. Not to count the fact that I needed to go and buy more thread!
Okay 2 cupcakes are finished, finished and I should have 4 more ready to go to Kristine Kingston, the finisher before I leave for Christmas frivolities with my sister and our family. Six stitched cupcakes was my goal before Christmas, so I am thrilled! I have threads pulled for 1 more and can I get one more done? Not sure as they are at least 25 hours each and if I stitch 4~6 hours per night, I will let you do the math.
Guess who? You know AlleyCat, Santa is not going to leave you any new catnip filled toys or treats in your stocking if you keep this up. Just saying…
and until next time…keep on stitching
