Big Ben at Midnight - welcoming in the New Year
(Stitched 2011)

I hope you all had ...

A fantastic Christmas

We had a lovely time, simple but lovely :D

I think the biggest task was all the cleaning up and making sure nothing got lost in the mountain of wrapping paper lol Not many presents but they sure produced a lot of wrapping paper lol!! This was me by Christmas night ...

Christmas Jumper Photo :)  I just love this picture!

Baby Abby is trying to 'escape' us crazy people lol

A family photo using my 'Selfie-stick' that Santa
brought for me!!  Santa knows how much I love my photos
I think I need a bit of practise though!!

So, today I am going to finish sorting out my stitching list for 2016 then get some studying done!! (That's boring and not as much fun as stitching but hey ho it needs done!!) 

I have joined DUCJFC2016 in memory of Debbie.  This group has been set up and hosted by Linda. This challenge starts on 1 January 2016 so i had better get my skates on and finish my list!!  

Then do the usual ... out with the old and in with the new for New Year!!  I love going into the New Year with everything neat and tidy!!  Maybe I have a touch of OCD!!  

Have a safe journey into 2016 everyone!

Have a good one ...

From our house 

To 

Your house 

At such a magical time of year...

Merry Christmas Everyone

Seeing Santa :)

Good Evening,

This evening we went up to the local Youth club for a Christmas party and to see Santa! (Ryan and Conor were 'bar-humbugs and didn't want to go!) 

Katie with Santa

Mark with Santa

Cara with Santa

We had an excellent evening!!  The youth Club is on the housing estate that we have moved to so it really is local ... all out neighbours!  I think we have 'hit the jackpot' with this house!!  Maybe all the stress was well worth the wait :) 

I am in the process of sorting out my stitching list for 2016. A lot on my list will be to finish off WIP's that I have on the go for me and the kiddies, start new projects that the kiddies have wanted for a long time and teacher gifts for end of the school year in June!!  

But for now ...... I think it is bedtime!!  

Goodnight all xxx

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

H-E-L-L-O!!!

Oh what madness there has been here but hey we are nearly all ready for Christmas and are very excited!

2016 had better be a great year for us as 2015 was just a little too stressful for us all!!

I have had a play about on my sewing machine in between my Uni assignments and the children not being well!

I made Mark a tunic (well thats what its meant to be lol) as part of a Viking costume that he needed for school!!!

I must admit I am pleased with myself!! Not bad for the first 'proper' thing I have made!

I have also managed to pick up my stitching again .... whooop go me!! With luck I will be back to my normal self in no time ...

Take care
Love to all
Heather

I'm Back ....

Hello Hello hello!!  

Oh boy oh boy I have missed my normal life!!  Never again am I moving!!

Total madness and chaos this time around as it wasn't a case of move in and unpack ... the whole place need scrubbing and rooms painted and the whole house needed carpet or flooring of some sort!  

So, not only was it a case of 'hump' the belongings from one house to another, it was then a case of 'hump' the belongings from room to room whilst we decorated and carpeted!!  With a great team of work men, family and friends we soon had this place ship-shape and ready to unpack!!  

My girls modelling the carpet! 

All I can say now is ... Pass me my stitching stash cos I wanna stitch!!  :)  

Speaking of stitching, my mum and dad have sent me over my Christmas present super early ...

I am absolutely delighted :) I have been saving up for one for ages now, but they decided to help Santa out!!  I can't wait to have a proper stitch on 'her', I just need some bigger pieces of fabric rather than just scraps that I have had a play about with :) 

No news really other than unpacking etc!  

Its great to be back :)

Love and hugs me

Just a quickie ...

Hello everyone!!

It has been a long, hard and very bumpy 'road' the last 4 or 5 weeks ... Not a stitch done ... BUT we finally have a house that we can move into!!

We shall be moving on Tuesday 27th but we will have no internet for a few weeks!!

Why do companies take so long to connect a service??!!  

I will have e-mail on my phone so at least that's something .... for all my pen-pals and Katie's pen-pals we will be in touch asap with our new address :) I have got our mail redirected to our new address so anything that has been posted to us we will get to our new address :D 

I have never felt so stressed and worried in all my life like I have been the past month or so!  The house we are moving into is one we can stay in for many years to come so at least mow we have the security over our heads knowing a landlord cannot make us move!

The kids are so pleased ....

So from all of us to all of you ... see you on the other side

Take Care

Love and hugs
