I've been doing quite a lot of research online in preparation for my Egypt trip in January. I just realized that there are less than two months till I leave, and we haven't made any plans except for buying our flight tickets there.

Luckily I took the initiative, because apparently for the Nile cruise (from Aswan to Luxor), we need to book the rooms 45 days in advance! This is the boat called the MS Sherry that I'm hoping to go on, it's one of the cheapest ones, with quite good reviews. At the moment, the travel agent is checking whether there are cabins available. It only leaves once a week on Fridays, so we only have one date when we can go.



Another place that we want to go to is the White Desert. It's not one of the standard items offered on a tour, so it was only by chance that we got to know about it. It looks like a Christmas place in the desert, and we get to camp overnight in the desert with a barbeque dinner.



I'm starting to get really excited about this trip, it's going to be really fun, even though a big hole will be burnt in my pocket. We're trying to do as much as possible, because I don't think we'll go back to Egypt again, there's so many other places to go to.

HAED-wise, more confetti stitching. I'm now stitching on three pages simultaneously, one which has lots of confetti stitches, and two others because they have bigger areas which can save me from boredom.



It doesn't really look like there are that many colours involved, here's a closer picture of the fairy's head. Just look at her hair! Imagine, the most of the same colour is probably three to five stitches, so I need to keep on changing colours non-stop. I think the most time taken is probably flipping my Q-snaps back and forth to start / end the threads!



I'm hoping I'll have that page finished by the next update, but I have my doubts, there are just so many one stitches I can do, and so little time to do them in!
