I have made a fair bit of progress on the landscape I am doing for my mum and dads Christmas pressie too... I am now using a colour other than grey and am sure i can get it done in the next two weeks (fingers crossed).
In between this I did a quick stitch that was a freebie with crossstitcher UK magazine, Its hanging just now too... (again I know its early for Christmas pictures but I cant help myself, I'm worse than the kids lol...)
Jewelry wise I have also managed to get a fair bit done. I have given up on my macrame bracelet and will give the necklace a try another time, but for now it has been chainmaille practice. I made some bracelets for my girls in the byzantine weave, a bracelet for myself using mobious flowers and a pendant made from mobious flowers. Alongside this I also mad a charm bracelet for myself, It could do with a few more charms on it but I want to make some from wire. So they will have to wait till I have the time to play again.
I still have to take better pictures than this and try to get some of the bracelets I made for the girls.
Other than that I have been getting my Christmas shopping done and took my girls to see the Christmas lights being switched on in the town centre. Which was magical, if i had only taken my camera to capture the amazement on the girls faces. Especially when Santa turned up.
Back to course work for a while so it may be a while before I get a chance to post again. My course has also been the reason that I haven't managed to post much on my yahoo groups but hopefully that will change soon.
So for now Happy crafting and if I don't get a chance for another post before hand have a Happy Christmas. xx

That angel looks great framed. And right you are to hang it up. And the landscape is getting along really nice. It's such a lovely piece as well.
You do beautiful work. I can't imagine doing all that with toddlers around!
Very nice work Lou. I love the pendant made with the mobious (did I spell that right?) flower. It is not too early to have christmas stitching up, I have some up too!
All your stitching is lovely. Personally I would leave the angel up all year round lol.
Nice work on your jewlery and your Christmas finishes are really nice. I plan on getting my Christmas stuff out this weekend so you aren't TOO early!

Beautiful work, Lou! Angel looks great- Landscape will be lovely. Also love your jewelry!
Your angel looks fantastic framed. I think I would leave her up all the year round. The landscape is wonderful, I hope you get plenty of time on it. Your jewelry is lovely too!
Your angel is beautiful. The frame really sets it off nicely. The landscape is coming along nicely, and the little freebie is cute! Your jewelry is lovely.
Your work is gorgeous. I love all the cross stitch and the jewelry is beyond incredible. That flower is to die for, really.
Thank you for your kind words! The bubble wands are incredibly easy to do! Wouldn't take me a minute for you to figure it out. :-) Quick and fun. Kids love to make them too. They just need a little help with the wire wrapping.
Your angel is beautiful and it's the perfect time to hang her, not too early at all! I can see why you haven't posted much, you have been busy stitching! Great progress and the jewelry is gorgeous too!
I love your chainmaille. I have made it myself and I love the angel so pretty.
