Well after a mad week, and a wet and wild weekend A Rugby Win and a baby, Page 5 of "Spring Explosion Mermaid" is done and dusted and I am now on the home straight!
Work is really starting to ramp up, as we head into the festive season........the Xmas cards are out and I need to find the work decorations so they can be put up..........We are also a little short staffed so the days are busy but they fly past which is great. The weather has been all over the show, nice one minute and then pouring with rain the next.......and to make matters worse, I'm not sure if the news has made it off shore, but we have a shipping container boat suck on one of beautiful reefs and its leaking oil......I'm not going to say much more then that because it makes me mad and I don't like to be mad!
The other big news of course is the Rugby World Cup that's on here, in case you missed it, New Zealand is in the Finals...........I hope it goes well..........We can be be bad losers and I fear for the coaches and players if it all turns to muck....But it wont!
Also I know I said about not having any new starts but my housemates sister had a wee baby a couple of days ago, and this means I might have to break my new starts promise and get a baby gift done so when she goes home in December it can go with her..........Does that count???? I did one for the other baby when she was born so it would be rude not do one for this......But I'm Torn.......I really wanted to finish what I have on the go....although it might be a nice break from lots of confetti.........Its a blue version of this........

So onto Mermaid....I have now stitched my first stitches on the last and final page! YAY!
I'm so very pleased with how she is going......although I have to say the "little" butterfly on her chest nearly did it for me.......Just 1 stitch at a time.............

Although it looks fantastic that small wee butterfly I'm sure had almost all of the colours in it! I'm also really pleased with the skin......I have this fear that it will look messy and the uneven.......So I really take my time to make it look good......so that slows things down somewhat. Never the less its turning out pretty good.
Tonight we had the first episode of season 2 of "Downton Abby" Holy Cow it was good! If you have not watched it please go and find it! Its Amazing!
Well that's about it for now.........Its late and I've another big day at work tomorrow......what drama will happen next, who knew a bookstore could be so full of it.....hahaha
Also of to the post office to put a special parcel in the post..........
Enjoy the rest of your week.........I will post an update on the weekend you might even have an eye to look at!
Happy Stitching All!
