Hi there,
My two youngest Katie (nearly 8 years old) and Cara (5) would each love some pen-pals!!
Any of my regular readers have children/grandchildren or know of children that would love to correspond with either or both of the girls via snail mail post?
I don't mind posting outside of the UK :)
If so please either leave a comment with e-mail address for me to contact you or drop me a line heatherloismail@gmail.com
Thanks!
Love me

I aim to have her finished asap!! I am just waiting on more metallic thread to arrive so I can finish her dress off and get more beads on!!
This nomination was a lovely surprise and a nice birthday gift to me lol Its my 44th Birthday today!!
Wow I am getting old haha
The British Heart Foundation and @YorkshireMOS are doing a giant Heart of Steel and by making a small contribution people can have names engraved on this giant Heat of Steal ... needless to say I am having, with Katie's full agreement, her name engraved on the heart :) As many of you know she was born with 2 holes in her heart. One has closed and in August she is due a scan again to check on her progress ... fingers crossed .... anyway click on the link and have a look at this magnificent project being organised by lots of companies!! Its amazing!!

Wow No posts in June!! .... SO BUSY and then a Challenge!!
Well Hello there Strangers!!
Wow I cannot believe I have not posted in a whole month! Well there has been so much going on its unbelievable!
well I shall try and do things in order ...
First of all I passed Uni my course on Understanding the Autism Spectrum :) I am totally delighted with myself!!
Next, I have been very busy with school stuffs and Parents Council ... Then it was Cara's 5th Birthday :D A great afternoon once she was home from school :)
We have had sports days and End of Primary school play for Ryan as he will be off to big school in September. Then End of year leavers night for Ryan's year too ... The list just goes on and on!! June certainly was a busy month all round!
The children finished school on Tuesday afternoon for the summer holidays. They have all of July and August off school so I plan on getting a great deal of stitching done in between days out and fun times :)
I did a little stitching for the teachers to go with their end of year presents
Yesterday we went into the Library and signed up for the Record Breakers Reading Challenge. I am sure we will have fun taking part!!
The rest of the day I picked up my Summer Fairy again .... I am determined to get this piece finished!! Just metallic thread and beads to go :)
That's all for now!! I will be back very very soon!!
Keep safe and well
Love me
