Well hello all...I am still here after a very busy month, with a birthday, baptism and house move it has been hectic and crazy...even for a very organised me!! The above and below pictures are at Martha's Baptism...she was slightly grumpy after the water situation...lol...and then you catch me having a crafty glass of vino!! It was a special day with very close family and my friends who are Martha's Godmother's...all 4 of them...."Martha and the Vandelas" as they have been nicknamed!!
Here is a picture of my big boy who was 5 at the end of April and he celebrated with 2 of his schoolpals, who have their birthdays in the same week, it was a busy old day but they all had fun...here he is a Sportacus helping Boxo the Clown!! I needed a HUGE glass of wine that evening!!
I have managed to do some stitching during the packing and house move, the main finish was my LHN Traveling Stitcher, I used the recommended Crescent Colour threads, but with an alternative fabric, I have not started to make it up into a stitchers wallet and needlebook as yet, but will get around to that eventually. I have also just completed my alphabet themed piece for the Exchange Heaven monthly exchange, it just needs to be finished now, a job for the weekend. I have been plodding away at my BP sampler but stitching over 1 is a tough old slog, but i am keeping going.
Now onto life stuff, the new house is great, a few little niggles to iron out and a serious clean and decorate required, but it is very homely and comfy and it just feels "right"! Shaun is moving up here next weekend and starts his new job on 1st June, driving one of the open top tour buses in the city, it is a seasonal job until October, but hopefully something else will come up in the meantime more permanent at one of the main bus companies. Shaun and my Dad have spent the afternoon putting up blackout blinds in the kid's rooms as there was no curtains and I have been woken up at 5am every morning for the past 2 weeks...so fingers crossed a sleep in until at least 6.30am tomorrow!I hope to find my camera this weekend and take some pictures of some exchanges I have received....so watch this space...
Hugs & Stitches
