Here at last ...

Hello all!

Well I have finally managed to log in and write a quick post!!  Life here is going well but super fast!!  Busy busy busy all day long helping with baby Abby and the school summer holidays! :)  We went for a lovely picnic in the park last week so I must find the photos and post a few!  We had a great time and we were there for hours and hours but it seemed like 5 minutes lol

I have finally managed this weekend to get detailed charted up for Abbys birth sampler so I will work away on that tonight and then I can get it to the framers! 

So far so good!

This week I have been sorting and organising my bedroom and I got a nice new bed too!  Cara is ready for a proper full size bed so she will have my single bed as its only a few months old so I bought a double bed .... for the same price as a single!!  Haha there was a method in my madness ... so I now have a big bed for when we have visitors. Speaking of visitors my mum and dad are coming over very soon so they can use my room rather than moving laura like we did.  So much harder moving Laura out of her room now that Abby is in there and that that would upset Abbys routine!  

The bed sheets I chose are lovely and I got some cushions to accessorise lol  I love typewriters so I really could not resist buying them!


The quilt cover has letters and postcard printed on also with 'Make Do And Mend' sayings on plus ... 'Stitched With Love' printed on which I didnt realise that was on so I was totally made up with my buy!!

I couldnt resist showing off my quilt cover with my TUSAL for this month ... a perfect condination I think!

TUSAL Stitched with love :)
 Last but not least my very slow progress on Summer Fairy

I have not really donw much else for the last few weeks!  We have mainly been busy with children lol

Have a great day all

Love me

Lots of Goodies ... (and photos!!)

Hello there!!

Not alot has been going on in my house except for nappy changing, bottle feeds and seeing to 5 other childrens needs as it is the school summner holidays here!! Stitching shall resume on my own projects asap as I am upto date with exchanges and Round Robins!

But whilst you wait for me to actually have some stitching that I can show you here are some photos lol!!

Wednesday was my 43rd Birthday ...  I had a wonderful day and I was spoilt crazy by the children!!  

Birthday Cards

Birthday Presents

My yummy cake!!

My certificate came for passing a University qualification I did a while back.

I can now have Cert Comp Sci (open) after my name!!  How posh am I now? lol  Then I discovered yesterday that I had passed my second University qualification so I can use Cert HE (open) after my name once I receive that certificate ... 

My name will be Miss Heather C.... Cert Comp Sci (open), Cert HE (open), 

Hahaha I'll need a great big line when writing my name lol!!!  I am delighted with myself I will say that.  It might sound big-headed but I did work my little socks off so I think I have earned bragging rights!!!

The other day I was out running a few messages with Cara so we just had to have a quick pit-stop at the park :)




The slide was all she wanted to play on lol  My children amaze me sometimes lol The park was empty and she could have had her pick of anything and everything but no .... the slide was the 'toy' of the day lol

I am very sure that you would love to see a few more photos of my Grandaughter Abby lol

Dreaming of more milk!!
