Don't you just hate it when life cuts into your stitching time? Just as I was getting ready to start my Christmas stitching, a hefty Drama essay comes flying my way. It's not too bad really, it's only 1,500 words. And I've got plenty of time to stitch during relaxing evenings.
I've finally decided on my first ornament for the Christmas Ornament Challenge; it's Lizzie Kate's Merry Friends. Here's my small progress so far . . .
Whilst stitching on this, I plan to continue on my other Lizzie Kate piece as well as complete smaller Christmas designs, like the redwork snowflakes I have my eye on. November is going to be full of stitching for me!
I enjoyed a wonderful trip out shopping today with one of my housemates. We had lunch in Cafe Monde, one of my favourite places in Winchester and the most perfect place to go to lunch if you ever happen to visit. I had a chicken and BBQ sauce panini and it was the best. Didn't buy much, but my mum is coming to visit next week for a shopping trip.
I had a wonderful time at home, thanks to those who asked. I was well and truly spoilt with a big chicken and salad dinner, and then chocolate cake for pudding - yum yum! It felt very strange being back in my own bed actually, and I was actually a novelty to have cereal in front of the TV on a sofa. How surreal.
I would very much like to get back into my cooking soon. I absolutely love proper home cooked food, like stews and pies, but often a quick stir fry is just so much more practical. I'll have to mix it up a bit. Do you have any recipes that I should try? I would love to hear your suggestions.
I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful week,

It'll be too cute, Bekca :)Looking forward to seeing it finished up :)
ooo lovely start :) and glad you enjoyed your visit home ... as to recipes mmmmm can't think of any that may help that are quick and easy ?? mmm chicken pasta and pesto ?? love mouse xxx
Great pattern, happy stitching! For quick and easy stuff I usually went for stir frys like you, pasta like mouse suggests or homemade egg fried rice!
Oh, what a sweet start, Bekca :) I'm sure you'll do well on your drama essay and I'm so glad you're finding time to continue your stitching while you're at university!
Sounds like you had a great trip home--I'm sure your mom loved spoiling you :)
Great new start. Good luck with stitching plans and essay. Sounds like you had a lovely trip home.
Good luck on that pesky essay!! Cute start!!
Love the ornie project you picked.
There's no place like home!!!
I love your ornie choice! It's very cute and you're off to a good start. For a quick meal I love to mix some bread crumbs with parmesan cheese, oregano, basil and garlic salt. Then I dip my chicken breast in the mixture and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 min. It's quick to prepare and you can adjust the recipe according to how much chicken you prepare. Five minutes before serving you can drizzle the chicken with either apple juice or white wine. Yummy!
