Dictionary Of Technology .... FINISHED!!! Plus Blogoversary :)

Hello all!

First of all I would like to say Happy Blogoversary to my blog!!  I can't believe another year has gone by!!! Time passes so fast these days!!  I had meant to do a give away but just never got around to it so I will do so asap!!  I can't let the event go around with out giving presents :)

Today I finished James' Dictionary of Technology and I am delighted!!  I will take it to the framers on Monday!!  What a wonderful day to have a finish to show off on my blog to celebrate my blogoversary lol

Finished 26 October 2013
Now it is Charlie Bear time.  I was going to start something else but I have an Open University assignment to put in soon so I will concentrate on that before a new start plus I got bad news the other day and we have to move!

I rent the house I'm in and the house has to be sold so we have to move :(  but there is nothing I can do to stop the house being sold so there is no point having a strop on with the people concerned... just have to get on with it!!  So there is a lot of clearing out to do and a new home to find that is close to schools which is the main priority in all of this!! I do hope to cling onto staying here for Christmas.  I suppose it all depends on when an offer is made.  Once that's done I will have 4 weeks to move.  The for sale sign goes up sometime next week, well so I am told lol ... who knows what will happen but I have to be prepared!  I just hope I don't get messed about by other people involved!!! 

Well I am off to have a coffee, raid the cupboards and then stitch the evening away!!

Have a great evening

Love me

A Finish or two and a birthday girl

Hello all

Well over the last week or so I have been busy fighting off a cold and it is starting to go around a few of us now!!  Today Conor was off school today as he isn't too well.  He has had a high temp again today so he will be off school tomorrow too :(

Katie had her 6th Birthday last week and she had  blast!!  She loved all her presents and cards off her lovely family and friends :-)  What a great day she had!!

The grand old age of 6 years old

A few days ago Cara had to take an object into Pre-School for the colour table and this month the colour is Red.  So I gave Cara something red to take in and her Pre-School Teacher seemed quite disappointed that I hadn't stitched the word red in red thread like I did for a few other colours when Katie was there 2 years ago!  I was amazed she had remembered so that night I stitched for a very long time ... well an hour lol ... and produced 

Red for the Colour Table

I have finished my stitch on Jan's Round Robin 

Jan's RR

I am in the process of another RR which has a Halloween theme and I hope to have that finished by the weekend.

I have also complete and posted off my Halloween Exchange but I cannot show a photo just yet!!

The children are away at the weekend so I am getting my HAED out and stitching on that.  I started Fireside Fairy Tales many many years ago and the fabric is quite grubby now and some of the stitching is all lumpy bumpy so I am starting again but I am doing the mini version of the chart.  This way I might actually get somewhere with it lol :)

Tomorrow is Parent-Teacher meeting for Katie.  I know all will be well as Katie is getting on really well in year 2.

I hope to have another finish to show you by Friday and then HAED all weekend long :-)  I cannot wait!!!

Have a fun time

Love me
