We've been to Ibiza

Es Cana beach from our favourite beachside restaurant

Well we are back after a fabulous week of sun, sea and sand (and Sangria for Jeff...lol) in Es Cana in Ibiza. I feel refreshed and relaxed ready for the busy summer months getting the house ready for baby bump!

The resort was geared to couples and families...not a stag group in sight (apart from the numerous groups on the flights there and back!!) With lots of restaurants and shops, a beautiful sandy beach and clear electric blue sea. We ate out everyday; breakfast, lunch and dinner and sampled the local cuisine, paella, spanish omelette, aliolli, fish and chorizo...delicious!

We visited the famous "hippie market", where I was in my element...lots of jewellery, leather bags, batik style goods, furnishings etc. I also treated myself to some lovely perfumes which were quite a lot cheaper than in the UK.

I was pleased that I almost managed to complete the stitching on my peice for the Stitch & Stash June Monthly Challenge. I managed an hour or so most afternoons whilst Isaac had his siesta and late evening as we returned to the apartment most evenings by 9.30pm as the little man was shattered.

I am now in the middle of a mammoth task of washing and ironing...good job I seem to have started "nesting", which is quite early but I was like this last time. I have spent the morning sorting out and cleaning all the kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer, in between loading the washer and hanging out the washing :) I the sky keeps coming over all overcast I am praying that it stays fine until teatime, I can't be doing with the airer up.

On the baby front I had my 17 week check up with the community midwife yesterday and all is well, it took along time to find the heartbeat but she perservered and there it was beating fast and strong. My next scan is 15th July and we hope to be able to find out the sex of the baby. I have a very short shortlist of names too!!

I received some nice stash today in the post, my monthly peice of hand dyed fabbie from Jayne and also 5 skeins of Carrie's Plymouth Red as I have an urge to do some redwork peices, possibly in Asissi style. I seem to be happy doing smalls at the moment, WIPs have taken a back seat whilst I am having the smalls urge...lol. I may try and sort myself out a proper working rota so that things don't get shelved.

Well all this chatting will not get my ironing done so I better be good and go and do an hour of it at least, before preparing the dinner, I fancied a roast dinner with all the trimmings, so that is what we are having.

Happy stitching

Hugs
