TUSAL 10th February 2013

Good Morning bloggers

How are you today?  All is calm and too quiet here with the 5 little kiddies away.

I stitched away most of yesterday from about 3pm for a good few hours then watched a few TV programmes then carried on stitching til about 1.30am!!  I just did realise the time lol

I will be stitching again very soon until the kids home at 5pm.  I thought I would get my TUSAL photo posted whilst I have a computer I can use without 'Are you nearly finished Mummy?' hahahaha!!!

So here is my TUSAL to today's posting

Project Rotation

Morning all :-)

I hope everyone is well.  This weekend is the weekend the 5 younger kids stay overnight with their father.  So from 2pm this afternoon until 5pm tomorrow I will be stitching away on Cara's Summer Fairy by Joan Elliott.  I may eat and sleep some where in between lol!!

I have also been thinking about the number of projects I have on the go as I have quite a few projects on the go at the moment but the main ones I want to get done are Summer Fairy and exchanges.

I will put some sort of rotation in place over the next week, once my Uni Essay is completed and sent off then I don't have any study worries for a few weeks!!

I'm not going to give each on a time dead line becasue I know I wont keep to it or something will happen and then that project gets forgotten about until 'its turn' comes up again lol

Whilst I'm stitching away i will have a think and make a plan!!

Fancy joining me in a Stitch a long (SAL) this weekend?  Love you to join me!! xxx

Dont forget my LHN and CCN chart giveaway too as the closing date is 12th Feb 2013

Most of the last 2 weeks I have done stitching for exchanges but I cant show you photos of them yet so here is a lovely picture of something lovely ... by the way NOT up for exchange lol!!

Hello blogging friends xxxx

Just a quick update and to say "Hello!!"

Hope you are all well and surviving all the strange weather changes lol

We had snow last night but now its all gone ... phew!!

I spent ages last night organising my WIP's and I must say I have way more than I thought I did :-0  I am totally shocked lol!!

After Summer Fairy no more new starts for me until I clear a WIP or two first!!

I am all set to get started on Cara's Summer Fairy ASAP ... Fabric and threads have arrived.  So many threads to bobbin up so I might do them later on after homework and tea is done :-)

Threads, beads and bobbin box for

Summer Fairy by Joan Elliott

I am made up with myself because I actually did some stitching on mt The Universe in a Jar last night :-)

All but Ryan are back at school but James came home early today as his temp is very high!!

Better get myself ready to get the children form the school bus stop.

Be safe all and happy crafting

Love me

Another Child For Me ....

Well what can I say ... I'm now a mother to 8!  

If my children have their own way it would actually be 9 lol

Ok let you in on the secret ... I have sponsored a child in Lusaka Zambia.  Her name is Josephine and she is 4 years old.

Josephine Aged 4

From Lusaka Zambia

Child we have sponsored through World Vision

I used World Vision to sponsor the child through.  I did sponsor a child many many years ago for a long time and once he became of age the sponsorship automatically ended and I never did get around to sponsoring another ... until now :-)

My kiddies are delighted they have a Sister in another Country and cannot wait to start writing to her.

Before we can do anything we have to wait for all the details to come through and this should be within the next week.

My lot now want me to sponsor an older boy so I will 'have a look' on the website again later on.  Little Josephine just popped out at me because she looked so sad.  

I have a few things to do plus get Ryan some medicine as he is really bad with the virus.  The others seem to be over it but Ryan got it last and its hit him hard!!

That's what got me thinking about children not as fortunate as mine, medicine made them better in days but many children don't have that advantage.  As I was thinking that a sponsorship advert came on TV!!

I call that FATE!!  I'm a believer in such things as there have been too many coincidences in my life to say 'it just happened' lol

Anyway I will stop rambling on and on and get some things done lol

Bye for now

Love me
