NaBloPoMo Day 19 and IHSW

Do you give a gift when you buy it for someone or do you wait for a holiday/birthday?

I do both. Most the time it seems to be around the time of a holiday or birthday cause I have a reason to be thinking about giving a gift. But sometimes it just happens. I like it both ways. It's nice to do nice things just for no reason every now and then.

This weekend was my first IHSW - International Hermit Stitching Weekend. I decided to start of my Biscornu Christmas Tree. I started the 2nd from the bottom. On the left is the top part finished. I added white beads where I thought they would pop. I started on the bottom piece but don't have very much at all on it yet. Mom thought I was finished and I said no I have to do the back part and she realized after I finish I will have 16 panels. I really enjoyed it though so that's good haha.

We had a WWE Pay Per View last night. So that meant good stitching time haha. We screamed and yelled at the TV a lot like that helps or something haha. Jeremiah just loves watching WWE.

My Day 6 gift from the ESC 12 Days of Christmas exchange is YUMMY Warheads. I LOVE sour candy and already ripped the bag open haha. They are very yummy indeed.

I can't believe this Friday evening we start our Christmas tradition. I'm so excited about Christmas. Jeremiah really is too. He better be I wrapped some of his gifts yesterday and told him he is totally spoiled rotten!!!

I can't wait to see your finished Biscornu tree! I've always wanted to work on a Biscornu, but they look so complicated to me!!


Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you, Jeremiah and Fred! :)
