Oh what fun ... Christmas and sewing makes!

Good Evening everyone!

I hope you all had a great Christmas!  We had a blast! James' girlfriend, Naomi, is over to stay for a while so it is quite odd having another woman in the house, but it is great!

I am so so  sew pleased with myself hehe ... excuse the pun!!

Best Day E V E R :)

Merry Christmas to you all!!  I hope you had a fab day :)  

We had the most brilliant day :D

Abby had a brilliant 1st Christmas :)

Everyone is very happy and content :)  Other than Christmas Dinner I planned nothing and we just 'went with the flow' of the moment.   I think the highlight of the day was Katie opening her present off James!!  The squeals of delight at her Frozen songs CD and the tears of joy completely took everyone by surprise lol  She was just so happy and could not contain herself at all .... bless her ;) She was so happy and quik to run off to her CD player that I never even got chance to take a photo haha!!

Welcome to 2014 :) .... NEWS NEWS NEWS!!

Hello to you all and Happy New Year :)

Christmas 2013

Posing Katie

We all had a good Christmas, 70th Birthday party for my dad, a good New Year Party and then we went into 2014 with big bang .... well should I say 'Bump' because my eldest, Laura is 16 weeks pregnant :) :) :)

I'm going to be a Grandma!!  lol that just sounds so funny hahahahahaha!!!

The kiddies are all made up that they will be Aunties and Uncles and I can say that James is totally delighted because he even went to the first scan yesterday!  He is going to be just as a fantastic Uncle as he is fantastic Son and Brother!!

James has also been offered four University places for different courses so he is pondering over them at the moment too.  I think he is even more delighted that he made the decision to take a year off school and go to University in 2015 .... he can be a full-time uncle for a year lol

Mum, dad, sister, niece and nephew were meant to be going home today but the ferry has been cancelled due to bad weather so we get one more day with them :)

'Our Grandad' say Katie and Cara

The Birthday Boy
He put his new top on and left the label

James even played pass the parcel with them lol!!  Its been a long time since he played that!!

Events of the week

Hello all!

How are you all doing?  All great I hope.

To start off, yesterday evening I discovered I had been awarded a blog award to I am over the moon :-)  This makes a great end to a great day ....

The yesterday Morning I helped out at the Year 1 & 2 Christmas play at the school ... well I dished out the mince pies but its a start and I loved doing it.

I also put myself forward for the parents Council a few weeks ago and I have been voted on as Vice Chairperson.  I cannot wait to get stuck in .... anyway back to the Christmas Play ...

My Katie is in Year 1 so she was in the play and she look adorable all dressed up.  

What a cutie she is

Yesterday evening I collected James from school and he did nothing but talk away and it was fantastic.  We went and did the shopping and once home Laura, James and I started to put up the Christmas Decorations but I must say more giggling and joking went on than putting up decorations!!  We had some good fun!!

My Stitching has taken a back seat at the moment as there are lots of things going on with school and Christmas things but by the end of next week I hope to be back with my needle in hand with nothing but Christmas Dinner to plan .... Lets hope my plans go to plan but if they don't then nothing really drastic to fuss over :-)  All school commitments will be done by Tuesday evening so its just myself and Santa to sort out and I've nearly sorted Santa out so he knows what he is delivering here :-)   

Ryan has challenged me to stitch ...

'Time To Stitch' from a recent Cross Stitch Magazine

I have made a small start but will dig into it and have a good stitching session next week on it and knock Ryans socks off with the progress I make!!

Well its bed time for me ...

'See' you all soon

Love me
