No stitching done, it has been too hot and I've had some late nights recently with DS finishing assignments - 2am on Thursday morning! He finishes for the year on Friday next week but he is going to the Gold Coast on Thursday at 7am for a 2 day maths extension program so he finishes his exams on Wednesday. I pick him up from school at 6pm Friday. He went to this program last year and this year there are only 5 of the top students going in each of grades 8, 9 and 10.
DH and I are going away for the weekend - after DD's cricket game and dancing practice, then taking kids to grandparents. We are members of a car club and this is our Christmas party weekend. We're going up to the Sunshine Coast about an hour north of here. There are about 50-60 members going so we should have a great time. I'll take some stitching but will be lucky to do any, think I'll be napping or socializing tomorrow afternoon.
I've been thinking about my stitching next year. I've decided to join Daffycat's TUSAL - it's where you save your orts and take a picture on the new moon.
I've also joined Measi's WIPocalypse to hopefully get some progress done on my wips and blog more often.
Obviously I've had too much time thinking, not enought time stitching because I've joined the Crazy January Challenge 2012 so now I have to select 15 items to start in January.
I'm hoping all the above will motivate me to do more stitching next year.
Lastly, this has made my day. My photo of Fa-La-La has made it to the welcome page of I Love Cross Stitch yahoo group Woohoo!
Right, I'm off to bed to get some beauty sleep before tomorrow. The end of school stress and concerts, etc are nearly over so I'll be able to get back to stitching. I'll have a giveaway coming up soon.
Thank you for your comments.

Oh, I remember those miserable, stay up late at night to encourage daughter to finish stuff nights. Congratulations to your son for being in the top students!
I have joined all those SALs too. Even if I don't accomplish all I set out to stitch, the fact that I am blogging again and stitching on some UFOs is a wonderful thing! :o)
Enjoy your weekend away!
Congrats to your son! Have a great weekend away.
Looks like we're in all of the SALs together - hopefully it will be a good year of stitching for everyone! Thank you for joining the Wipocalypse. It's great to meet so many new stitchers!
Enjoy your weekend away. :)
