Happy Dances!

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been away so long. As we're getting closer to the end of the first semester, all of the assignments and projects are coming to a close. I got so busy, I didn't even have time to blog read, let alone stitch. I'm looking forward to catching up with what everyone has been up to :)
On Friday, I had my scriptwriting presentation where my group presented to a "producer" our idea for a comedy series. The first feedback the examiner gave us was; "I am immensely impressed." I was overjoyed that our hard work all through the week. This was the reason I couldn't fit in as much stitching time, but sometimes that's the sacrifice you got to take to make the grade LOL
I spent the weekend with Lawrence and got to attend the surprise party his friends were throwing him. A good time was had by all. His birthday is actually next week, and we're going out with his family to a posh restaurant in London - I am very much looking forward to that!
So, onto the part of the post you actually want to read, my happy dances! I have two to share today, well, one and a half really. I finally put the seed beads onto All Things Bright so this can officially go on the "finishing" pile . . .


This week is quiet for work so I've had a lovely time putting in some stitches into Merry Friends. I finished it tonight, here it is! . . .


I added a little heart charm I said that reads "Made With Love."
I don't have any lessons or lectures on Thursday afternoon so I'm planning on spending some quality time with my sewing machine. I bought it to use and so far, it's been stuck in its box, time to change that I think.
I have missed blog reading and can't wait to see what everyone has been stitching. Why not tell me something that's happened to you in the past week in your comment? I would love to be nosey :)
Best wishes,

It sounds like you've been busy with good things! Your stitching finishes look great. Pop over to my blog and check out my non-traditional Turkey Day. LOL. I just can't be like everyone else I guess. Giggles!

Lovely finishes! Especially the Merry friends. So glad to hear that your study is going well, even if it is keeping you busy! I've been enjoying settling in too a surprisingly sunny France, learning to get on in a location where I really don't know the language!

I'm so pleased that you've been able to still stitch and blog while at university, Bekca!! That is wonderful news about your impressive scriptwriting presentation--sounds like you're in the right major, that's for sure.

Enjoy your time with Lawrence and his family at the restaurant--can't wait to hear all about it :)

Your finishes are so cute--love the little bunny next to Santa.

I had all three of my sons home for Thanksgiving last week--so nice to be all together again!

I don't know how you manage to fit your stitching in with your studies but I'm so glad that you do. Stitching can be a wonderful stress buster!
Your finishes are fantastic! That LK Santa is just adorable.

Congrats on your finishes!! It's amazing that you can manage to be busy with your assignments and stitch too! When I was in university, I had no time to do anything. Then again, I had to travel up to three hours a day to go to school :( Enjoy your holidays when it comes!!
