What a Day!!

Good Evening all,

Well, last night my 5 younger ones came home from their fathers after their once night a fortnight sleep over ... Conor didn't really want to go as he wasn't well but he went anyway and came home still feeling unwell. His temperature was 102°F when he came home.

Mark came back sounding and looking awful!!

He was not at all well last night. Temp of 103°F Grrrr :-(

Both Conor and Mark have been off school today.  Mark will probably be off all week but Conor has already been off since Thursday so will have to see how he goes!

Both came home with a rash too :-(

Took them to the Dr's this afternoon and they both have a virus with a viral rash.  I wonder how long it will be before the other catch the bug?

The bug is going around school and just under half of Conors class was in the other day ... shocking how quick these things spread!

Plus Cara has come out in eczema around her mouth so she is not impressed at all!!

So needless to say I have got nothing stitched today but I really don't mind!

Well I'm off to bed as I'm shattered!!

Night night all

Love me

SAL - Air Goddess Progress

Good Afternoon friends :-)

I hope you all are having a good weekend.  I have a few hours before the kiddies are home so I thought I would update my blog with my Saturday Stitching on Air Goddess by Joan Elliott.

I have started in the middle of the chart (as suggested for most Cross Stitched charts) but I hate working up the fabric so I will slowly work my way up to the top of the design then work my way down.

I don't know about you but for me I find my stitching just goes all lumpy bumpy working my way up the design lol!!  I normally work out how far up from the middle the top is and start there but I didn't want to make a mess on this lovely piece so I did it 'right' for a change lol :-)

Air Goddess By Joan Elliott
Progress after one evening of stitching

How much stitching did you get done this weekend?  Loads and loads I hope xxx

I got a little done, not as much I had hoped, but I am delighted just the same.  Tried to stitch on her this morning but the daylight is rubbish as its so dark outside and its pouring with rain.  

So I have put her away and will crack on with my Winter Exchange for Stitched With Love Exchange Blog .... oh I've just spotted a Spring Exchange on there!!!!  

Have a wonderful day all

Love me

oooo yummy threads

Wish this was my stash!!

Time to make progress

Hello All

The other evening I spent hours sorting and putting away my threads that I had out loose.  Terrible trying to find a thread and it not in my boxes so I printed off a 'DMC Shoppers checklist' of all the threads and marked off what I had and what was missing.  I have all the DMC range which I have collected over the years so when I want a thread I know it should be ... somewhere!!!

Here is the link in case anyone wants a list too!!  DMC Shoppers Checklist

Yesterday evening I had a sort out of on going projects and came across one I had totally forgotten about!!  I really need to make a full and detailed list of all projects I have started.

Whilst having a rummage through my stuff I came across this one

Stitchy Sampler from a
Cross Stiching magazine

My son Ryan challenged me to stitch this a while ago.  he gave me a weekend to do it but unfortunately something else came up so I never got chance or time to sit and stitch it. So I think I will stitch as much as I can until this weekend.

The children are away this weekend so I hope to have received my threads for Air Goddess by then and I will spend the whole weekend stitching my big heart out!!

I hope my thread order comes because it has the stuff I need for the Winter Exchange over on the Stitched With Love Exchanges blog  Cutting it fine if my parcel does not arrive on time for me to sort out what I am making and sending to my partner.

Well I had better make a move and get on with some Stitching.

Have a great day all

Love me
