Good morning everyone, I hope you've all had a wonderful week. I'm very happy that it's Friday for two reasons. Firstly, that's means I've got my Scriptwriting lesson today which I thoroughly enjoy and secondly, one of my best friends is coming to visit me tomorrow for a shopping trip and I'm very much looking forward to it :) Do you have any lovely plans for the weekend? Apart from stitching of course!
I finished my Heart in Hand bird! I'm so very pleased with it. I changed most of the colours to fit with what I had in my stash, but I still think it looks pretty good. It is a bit of a squeeze on the fabric, but I think I'll still be able to finish it how I want. It will definitely be ready for Christmas.
Who else is joining BeckySC's Christmas Ornament Challenge? I for one am very excited about it. I wanted to stitch lots of ornaments this year anyway, so this is a perfect excuse to finish lots of them and gain a chance to win a Gift Certificate! I've already been through the freebie patterns I've got to see if I can find designs to stitch. Might have to pick up some patterns next time I visit home, my room at Uni is just too small to fit all my cross stitching stuff!
Since the challenge doesn't begin until November 1st, I'm spending my stitchy hours till then trying to finish All Things Bright. I managed to get in a few stitches last night and I might squeeze in a few more before class. I really do love this design and I would love to get it on my to-be-finished pile very soon. My plan is to do mostly stitching whilst I'm away at Uni and then do the actual finishing at home where I have the majority of my supplies.

In other news, I'm saving up for a sewing machine! I've wanted one for so long so I'm saving a bit each week so I can get my very own, brand new sewing machine :) And then they'll be no stopping me making ornaments!
Have a wonderful weekend,

Sounds like great plans for the weekend! Have fun with your friend. I'm moving out of my uni flat tomorrow and hopefully watching New Zealand smash France in the rugby world cup final.
Very cute finish, I love the birdies long legs - great progess on the LK too. Good luck with your sewing machine saving - definitely worth it. I don't use mine often enough and whenever I pull it out I wonder why I left it so long!
A gorgeous finish. Great progress on your L*K. Have a lovely weekend. Hope your saving for your sewing machine goes well.
I'm so excited that you are saving for a sewing machine, Bekca :) I still have mine that I received when I graduated from college 34 years ago!!
Lovely finish--such a cute long-legged bird and nice progress on the LK. Of course I'm joining Becky's Christmas Ornament Challenge--you know how I love my ornaments :)
Your bird looks great as does your LK :) Oh, you will so enjoy having a sewing machine...we'll look forward to it as well so that we can see all the creations you make with it :)
Have a great weekend, Bekca :)
((hugs))
Wonderful stitching Bekca! Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned with your friend!

Cute stitching finish! I can't decide if I want to do the ornie challenge or not, but good luck to you with it.
Wow, that finish didn't take too long! It looks fabulous!
I joined the ornament challenge too. I'm not aiming to win because I've already won her pumpkin challenge last year but I hope this will spur me on to get a least a few ornaments completed.
Cute finish!!
That's a fabulous ornament Becka!! So adorable! You are a very fast stitcher I must say!! Hope you have fun with your gf shopping. I just came back from a shopping trip with my gf at a fabric store! Got some cute new fabby's :D
