November Wrap Up
Well… November happened. On a personal level, it was far from a great month, I’m afraid. Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my beloved pupper, Barney. He was the sweetest, gentlest bundle of scruff, and I’ll miss him every day, but I know he had a long and happy life.
I felt I had to acknowledge his loss, but in the spirit of normality, here’s a quick wrap up of the reading and embroidery projects I managed throughout the month during happier moments.

Favourite of the month: You Better Be Lightning
Aside from a distinctly summery beach hut scene (which was a commissioned piece), most of my embroidery and weaving projects for November had a distinctly cosy and Christmassy feel. I particularly enjoyed working on the little robins, which I have a real soft spot for. Some of these pieces are still available to buy over on my Etsy shop if you’d like to snag one in time for the holidays!
There we have it! What was your favourite read in November? Are you on track to hit your goals before the end of the year?
