So first up we had FNSI and Friday Night Frolics......
Friday night's stitching was all about the creepy tree and friends that I have been trying to get finished for the November and December Hallowe'en SAL Blog themes.

The pic above shows you where I was at with this before Friday night's stitching and the pic below is the creepy tree finished.... along with the raven, cat and resident ghosts!

I didn't really need to do too much on Friday night - just finish the branch off near the left hand ghost... I still need to add beads and a bit of backstitch but that will be done at the end when everything else is stitched.
Did you notice my lovely new needle minder? Just perfect for Halloween stitching - a spider in his silvery blingy web!
The tree on this piece was the big hurdle to get done and now the rest will be easy to pick off one piece at a time! But for now "Dancing in the Moonlight" will go away until I am ready to do some more Halloween stitching :o)
So that was Friday night's stitching..... I didn't get much of a chance to do a lot of stitching on Saturday as it was a busy day with a visit to the hairdresser, washing and other "exciting" things and then we went out for dinner.... but Sunday afternoon I managed to get some Christmas stitching out of the basket again.
The last time I stitched on Nora Corbett's Christmas Eve Couriers was quite awhile ago so I thought I would bring "Prancer" out to play.

While not a lot happened on this one yesterday the ribbon has progressed and it now looks a bit more like a ribbon! (the fabric colour looks so much prettier and more true to life in the photo below for some reason!)

You may have also noticed another new needle minder in the picture above....
Remind me to post a picture of all my new minders... they are so boo-tiful..... ♥♥♥
That's it for today.... the countdown to Christmas is on and I only have one more day of work to get through before having 2 and bit weeks off work! Hopefully during that break I will actually be able to catch up on my blog reading...
Til next time, happy stitching

They look great! I love the couriers series and hope to have them to stitch someday. I did the opposite lol I'm caught up on my blogs but haven't done much stitching. I have the same time off you do so hopefully we can both catch up!
You made good progress on both the pieces. Hope you have a merry Christmas and get lots of time for stitching.
Beautiful stitching my dear ..I love them so much
Big hugs x
Your fabrics are beautiful and the stitching just as lovely.
Progress is progress and they both look terrific!
Have to agree with Bea and aren't needle minders great?
Your stitching looks great and I love the colours in the last one .
Merry Christmas.
Beautiful progress on both pieces. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Lovely stitching on both projects.
Blessings to you this christmastime x
Nice progress.
Great stitching progress. The needleminder looks great too!
Lovely stitching and good choice of fabrics, they look great.
It's not the tree which is creepy but your spider needle minder, lol. But the other one is funny. Needle minders, an idea for the letter N? Not for me as I don't have any. I don't use them, I always stick my needle into the fabric somewhere.
Nice to see the Prancer has received some attention from you.
Nora Corbets Chrats are allways wonderfull and your "Prancer" will soon be on his Duty With The Father Christmas !!
Your stitching is so pretty--just love how Prancer is turning out!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
It's good to read you are so happy with your progress (and needle minders) I love the ribbon effect too and can't wait to see more (hint hint!) :)
