New Goodies

Hello and how are you today?

It was a very cold frosty morning here.  A thick fog seemed to have rolled in last night and the temperature dropped very low brrrrrr ... where are my thermal vest and knickers lol

This morning brought me lovely post :)

I got 4 new Polstitches Fabric which was my treat to myself after Christmas

I got Mellow Moments (yellow)
Addiction (Greeny blue)
Sniff and Sneeze (Pinky shades)
Icy Waters (Blue/white)

The Mellow Moments is all for ME!!  I just love yellow .... I should have been a banana haha
The Icy Waters fabric is to do Conor a massive Penguin scene with lots of penguin charts all stitched on the same fabric ... now all I have to do is hunt down some charts lol

The other two pieces I'm not sure on.  Stash them away and see what other lovely things i can find to stitch.  i might see what the Addiction fabric is like once unfolded and maybe, just maybe use for Laura's Baby Sampler.  But there might be too much blue on the fabric for this and she then have a girl hahaha!!  I'm not re-stitching it!!  Maybe just best to stick to white fabric the kit came with!!

This is the sampler that Laura chose:-

Baby Sampler to be stitched up

I will be making a start on this afternoon :)

Now off to collect Cara!  Have a great day all!!

Love me

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

Hello to you all and Happy New Year :)

Christmas 2013

Dancing Cara

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
hanging from the button lol

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

Christmas Tree 2013
with Katie and ORT Jar

Cara wrote some Christmas Cards and put them under the Christmas Tree lol! She is a little Cutie Pie!!

Today Cara went to see Santa with the Pre-school she attends.  She totally loved it and all the little preschoolers looked so cute on such a big bus. Katie did her school play today and she did a wonderful job with her speaking part!

Well better get some children collected from the school bus stop as I don't think they will be impressed

Happy stitching and crafting

I spent the weekend battling with metallic thread stitching Sliver and Gold for the Pre-school Colour of the month table ... well worth the 'naughty words' when the thread kept snapping and fraying lol!!
