Sorry for not posting much on here, after being done with Cinderella I now have to focus on learning and playing some games. I’ll also be starting to stitch my SAL soon. The patterns are already printed.
My MS Outlook is going all crazy. I don’t know why. It worked alright for the past 3 or so years. hmm. It works somehow ok, but keeps shutting down. I should run a virus check and hope it’ll go away. However, if you don’t get any email from me, don’t wonder why …
As for good news, we now have WiFi for the DS Andy and I got each other for Christmas. Anyone who wants to play Mario Kart DS with us, just hand over your friends code and we will add you 
Aireen, Andy and myself went outside to have some fun in the snow. It was really nice and Aireen enjoyed herself a lot. Sadly there are no real pics of Andy and me.

It snowed from when we got up till 11 AM ish very hard. It was pretty to see, except that my mom and I walked (!!) to the grocery store.
After a longer while, I thought I’d go outside to check the mail box and - boing - fell on my back. Hurts pretty bad, but ah well. The joys of winter …
It’s snowing since a while now and it stays! Aireen is really thrilled as she loves snow. I wonder how much snow we will be having from the looks of it, it won’t stop anytime soon …
After two days of beading I got that far last night. I had put the beads in a little box, so I won’t lose them, and I think someone puts new ones in that box every night …
Hmm .. still not the best pic, but at least you can see most of it, it’s not blurry and not too dark. Hooray! Enjoy it.
As promised, here’s the pic of Cinderella. She’s coming along wonderful, but I am really hoping she’s done soon. Those beads are driving me crazy - not in a bad way, I just want to be done 
The in the last post mentioned key did fall out of my pocket and was laying somewhere. When Andy and I went into the car to go once more to where grandmom lives, I saw it in the car - phew. We still went to her place to leave her gift there and took Aireen with us for a little walk I am so relieved!!
Our Christmas Story:
Andy and I went to buy a “topping” for the tree yesterday. We decided on a Star and to my suprise my parents actually liked it. I think it’s the first time we ever had a star! You can sort of see half of the star in the pic. It’s the best one I have and it’s not blurry (!!), but I will take a real good one when it’s bright outside.
After finishing the tree, watching some tv and all, we headed to pick up my grandmom and took her home. It was all fine until the three of us got out of the car and my jacket pocket leacked the key to the house. The car key for the VW are on one and the key to our house with the Pick-up car key were on another seperated chain. Obviously the one with the house fell out of my pocket sometimes. Andy and I rushed back but it was not on the street or anywhere were we walked. It might be at my grandmom’s, but I doubt it. We will be going there later on to check it. Pray that it’s there … I can tell you, I did not feel like Christmas after it 
Anyway, once we got back home, my dad put in a Christmas CD and childishly waited till 6 PM to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and we handed out the gifts. Sorry no pics from that.
After putting the gifts on the floor to eat, Aireen had to carefully protect all of them. Of course, she was the most interested in her boot with tasty dog treats and the bone Andy got for her. She got 3 treats, but wanted more …
Here are the family pic. They’re sort of funny and I do not think it’s how we really look like, but ah well. That’s us (in order: Andy & me; mom & grandmom; dad):
Aireen, of course, wanted more of her treats, but she did not get it. She was on a diet for the past couple of weeks and really lost some weight. She’ll be enjoying some of today’s bird with us.
I got more work done on Cinderella, but did not get to take a pic yet. I will do so when it gets brighter as the flash pics never really turn out ok.
The first few hours of beading was done and - oh boy - it was hard. BUT it looks great and I enjoy working with those tiny things.
PS - you might want to click on the pic to see the beads better ..
Mom, Andy and I set up the tree earlier. It was pretty funny. Last year, we bought brand new candles for on the tree and we just unpacked them. They’re very bright as our past tree was so dark and not to be seen at evening/night. Sorry that the pic is not so great. I just did not get a better one for some reason. I will take one later tomorrow when the tree is all done - the top still needs some work …
I just finsihed all BS on Cinderella and she’s coming along wonderfully I will sort out the beads now and start the beading work - very excited. I can hardly believe I got that far in such a short time.
While stitching, I remembered every min of it
Look what lovely ornament I got from my dear friend Val in the UK yesterday. Isn’t it lovely? I was so suprised and pleased with it. Thanks so much Val. I shall drop you an email later today.
As you can sadly see, I did not get as far as I planned to. I blame my hand on it, I guess. It really hurted to hold the picture. Luckily, it feels ok today, though still hurting.
