Jingle Bells #7 & Movie Review - The Butler

Last night we had a date night and went to see the new movie - The Butler. It was a good movie with lots of well known actors in it. Oprah Winfrey played the main character's wife and we both thought she did a great job, as did all the actors involved. It was an overview of the black civil rights movement in America from around the 1920s to present day through the eyes of one man who eventually became a butler at the White House. It never ceases to astound me how horrible people can be to other people, based simply on something like skin colour.

Once we got home, I only managed to do a little bit of the next ornament before heading off to bed...

Happy Stitching,

Jingle Bells #6 & New Stash

Finished off the second ornament last night and I really like the bright blue background.
I also got a delivery of some new items from my recent order:

Some new small Christmas tree ornaments and a Heartfelt set which I think I will stitch for my new library. That's right - our library is moving locations to a new address early next year and I think these will look great.

Happy Stitching,

Kerrie

Paris Market #42 & New Stash

Wouldn't you know it! The moment you complain to someone about things not turning up, they turn up. After I'd been told I would get a refund, I got home and guess what was in the letterbox - my Christmas Ornaments! Now I've cancelled the refund and got my ornaments so I am quite happy. I'll just have to remember that anything coming from the US takes 7-8 weeks, not 4-6 weeks, and to remain patient!

These Jingle Bell Ornaments from Dimensions are done on plastic canvas again so I am looking forward to getting them done once Paris Market is finished off.

Did a bit more of the next shop front along last night.
Happy Stitching,
Kerrie
