Boxing Day....

As Boxing Day is DS2's birthday (24 this year - oh, my baby is definitely all grown up!) we traditionally go to the movies as a family.  All I can say is thank goodness for film franchises: seven Harry Potter films; six Tolkien films and the various Xmen and superhero films!

This year we went to see the new Star Wars film:



Now, I would have to say it was okay.  A bit slow in parts (I must admit that despite two coffees at lunch I was so very tired that I kept dozing off during the film - that must say something about it, mustn't it?) and the heroine was too similar to the heroine in The Force Awakens, we all thought.  I think that I would give it three and a half stars.



Now, onto my Christmas Stitching.  I have joined a FB group called Stitchmaynia, which I think that some of you may already belong to or have heard of, and I decided to take up the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge.  Each of the twelve days from Christmas Day to January 5, you stitch on something related to that day's theme - A partridge in a pear tree, etc.  Being the traditionalist that I am, I am stitching, yes, you guessed it!  The 12 Days of Christmas!

Day One:


Day Two:

Mixture of suggested floss and my own choices.

Well, that is all from me for now,
