Turtle trot Update

Hello!!

For once I am on time with an update lol  Maybe things are now back to normal in my house :)

Here is my very slow progress over the last few months but with the Easter holidays nearly upon us I have declared it a relaxing holiday as we have all done nothing but charge around like mad fools since January lol

Yesterday was James' birthday and he was a big 18 years old!!  Wow I feel very old now hahaha

For all who has joined my exchange I will get partner details sorted asap .... I'll be in touch with everyone too for postal addresses!  I cant wait, I'm really excited :)

A long time since ....

... I posted an update!!!

Hello and Good Morning to you all ...

I haven't really managed to get much stitching done the last few weeks as I have been organising the new house plus finishing off one of my Open University courses so it has all been go go go here but things have settled and all fallen into place so the stress has all gone and now back to the fun ....

I have done quite a bit on my Grandchilds birth Sampler .... oooo the time is getting closer and more exciting!  Cara was singing to Laura's bump yesterday and it was so cute lol

My TUSAL for 2014 is a little empty at the moment but once I have my next OU essay done for the 2nd course I am doing them I will have many months to stitch my heart out before another 2 courses start :)  I cant wait ...

Both pieces are in my Turtle Trot ... Turtle Trot Blog

In the background of my TUSAL photo is the lovely view we have from our living room window!!
Fantastic :)

TUSAL 11 March 2014

Last Friday James went to his formal for the School .... his last few months of being a 'school boy'!!  I cannot believe that in a few weeks he will be 18 years old!!  Time has flown over

Handsome man
going to is formal

Well I had better get a few bit and pieces done whilst the house is all calm and quiet as all the children are in school ... I've had at least one at a time off the last week or so with coughs, colds and high temperatures!

Have a wonderful day all!!

Love me
