Almost A Week…

….since I last posted….some stitching has taken place, but not a lot I hasten to add. I have finished a small birthday gift which of course I cannot reveal until after the day and also made a start on a little birth sampler for my friend, who has asked me to stitch it for her sister who has a little girl due in November, it is all ready apart from the name and date information which I will stitch once she has been born.

I have worked some more on Princess Parade…

with the progress I am making, I’m hopeful it will be ready for Martha’s birthday late November.

Becky has let me know that the piece I stitched for her for the Seasonal Exchange blog has arrived…

Bent Creek Autumn House

Bent Creek “Autumn House”

28c Brittney Mushroom – DMC, GAST & WDW threads

Finished as a hanging ornament with an acorn button!

I have a busy week ahead, my first assignment is due to be submitted by the end of the week, I have prepared my first drafts, my Mum has kindly said she will take little Miss Martha one day for me so I can get a solid 4 hours on the re-write and bibliography…thank goodness, I feel less stressed now I know that I have that extra time childfree.

I have a new gentleman in my life, we have been “seeing” each other a while but I wanted to keep it quiet until I knew it was going to be a “real” thing….and yes it is :0)! The kids love him and he loves the kids too, which is very important…and now to make you jealous he is 7 years younger than me…so yes a toyboy…lol…life certainly does begin at 40!

X-Factor, takeaway and a bottle with my man this evening…what more does a girl need!

Enjoy your weekend….
