Well That Will Teach Me ...

to be looking on a on-line stash shop when Ryan is sitting next to me because I have been ropped into stitching him this ...

The Dragon Ryan wants me to stitch
for him

Going to take me years to get through my 2013 To-Do list lol

Mind you Ryan has good taste because the Dragon is designed by Joan Elliott.

Happy evening to you all

Joan Elliott Summer Fairy and a Life update!!

Hello there friends

How is everyone today?  I hope everyone is fine and being good lol  Nah good is boring!!

I did a little of Summer Fairy over the weekend and did some lovely reading too

Here is Summer Fairy's progress

Summer Fairy as as
21st April 2013

I will have to make a move on the teacher stitching as i have a few to do for the end of June so I think I will stitch them or a while now.

Life has been crazy this week with appointments and poor mark and Cara had to have injections.  It does not seem to have bothered Mark but poor Cara has sore legs now as the injections were in both legs.  Poor girl is in pain and having problems walking because her legs are stiff!  At least all her injections are up to date now which is good.  She will be fine in a few days but it is heartbreaking seeing her in pain and so sad!

Whilst I was at the Dr's the nurse 'grabbed' me and got all my health checks up to date too lol!!  I think she had a lack of appointments so she 'grabbed' me for something to do!!  Oh well at least everything is done and I now don't have to make an appointment and wait to go the Dr's :-)

Towards the end of the week and at the weekend I am helping out at the little ones school so I am and have been a busy bee this week!!  I'll be glad of a rest next week lol

Have a great day all

Bye for now

Love me

IHSW Hermit weekend and more

Good Afternoon all,

How are you all doing today?  Good I hope!

All wonderful here the last week.  I cannot believe how the weeks are flying by.  Before we know it the school summer holidays will be upon us once again.

I got the school photographs back this week so I feel a trip to the framers coming on lol!

I finished another book Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson last night so I will have to pick another book to start this evening.

  

This weekend the kids are away which means I can stitch my little heart out plus it is IHSW Hermit weekend too!!  That was handy lol

So I am stitching away on Cara's Summer Fairy :-)  I am doing her wings at the moment.  I was going to do my Fairy Grandmother but I already had everything or the Summer Fairy at hand so it was laziness that decided what I was spending the weekend doing haha!!

I did a little more on a teachers stitched end of school year gift yesterday.  I only spent a short time stitching but I got lots done so I am very pleased with myself!!  

I will post an update photo tomorrow or Monday.  In the mean time I hope you all have a fantastic weekend whatever you are doing

Love me

A finish .... yay!!

Good Afternoon all,

I hope you all had a good weekend!  I had good news on Friday ... Cara has been accepted in the Nursery Unit at the other kiddies Primary school .. oh yeah!!  She starts in September and she is more than ready for it.  back to running up and down to school doing drop offs and pick ups as the Nursery day is shorter than a normal school day plus the nursery kiddies are not allowed on the school bus as they are not yet Primary School age but i sure miss the hum of school life so it will be good to be back there every day.

Over the weekend I finished off the first puppy in the Margaret Sherry Lovers Blog SAL.  He is just adorable :-)  One down a few more to go lol!!

Puppy No 1 completed

No other news really!  I started stitching on an exchange at the weekend but I cant tell you ... just yet!!

Keep well

Love me

Mummy's Little Helper

Hello!

I got a new thread box to store my Anchor threads for my Margaret Sherry projects.  I normally use DMC but the colour conversion isn't always the same so I treated myself to the correct Anchor threads.

The box came and Cara has helped me bobbin an store the threads away!!  Well sort of ....

Cara helping Mummy :-)

I have been busy doing 'Puppy Love' for the Margaret Sherry Lovers Blog

I hope to get this part of the SAL finished this weekend.

Happy stitching and crafting all

Love me xxxx
