My current WIP

Just thought I'd pop in and do a quick update on my current WIP. This is Lizzie Kate's Santa's Got the Goods which I'm enjoying stitching. Well, I was until I hit that #^$@ wisper! Note to self: don't use wisper on the next LK! It shreds and is hard to thread into the needle and then it gets chunky so I went completely off the correct thread. Egh. Hence this is how he currently looks.



I'm hoping to get a bit more done this morning as I'm off to the hairdresser for a much-needed cut & colour (I recently discovered I have grey hairs!!).

I've kitted up another LK for my plane trip. Cannot actually believe that I fly off on FRIDAY! Yes, 3 more sleeps then I'm off in a huge plane (A380) to LA where, hopefully, we will be having dinner with Mel. We're only staying 1 night in LA and then flying to Portland, OR for shopping! Woot! Can I say smoking credit card? Actually I got one of those pre-paid Visa travel cards (not sure if you have them in the USA) where I buy my US dollars pre-loaded on the card. Then I can use it in shops like a credit card or get cash from an ATM. Fabulous! Plus you get a spare one in case you lose it.

Anyway, if I finish this LK I'll update before I leave but otherwise, see you on the other side!

It's coming along great Alison. Yes the Wisper can be a pain but it really adds to the piece I think. Looks like you'll have a finish to post soon.
