Gosh it’s been almost 3 weeks since I was last with you…sorry but it’s been busy here with it being the school holidays and trying to fit chores, studying and playtime in!
We have been lucky with the weather here, mainly sunshine with an odd shower thrown in for good measure, we have had a few trips out to Harrogate, which was lovely, I used to live there about 20 years ago and it’s changed so much, it’s a place I would love to live again, if the opportunity ever arose. I searched for the Cath Kidston shop for ages and finally I found it, being honest I was rather disappointed with it, not as nice as ours here in York and the Leeds store, so I won;t be rushing there again! Trips to the park, into York, the Designer Outlet for school footwear and the 2 out of town shopping centres for uniform and housey bits…it’s been fun but rather costly!
I was flabbergasted last week when I received my latest assignment mark back, I received a mark of 90/100, I can tell you all I was whooping around the room and danced a little victory jig! But alas it couldn't last for long as I have a deadline for my final assignment for my second module on 6th September so it was back to the books…lol.
I have finished up some stitching which I showed you in my last post…
I’ve started stitching my Mums birthday gift which is on the 4th September so I need to get on with this PDQ…it’s going to be a lavender filled pillow, the design is from this free book from Cross Stitcher magazine.
My kitchen is finally on the road to completion…I have managed to save enough pennies to order my new oven which will be delivered mid September, I’ve also ordered some lovely flooring and bought a table and chairs set which fits perfectly….happy days!! With the few pennies left from those purchases I bought a few brighteners for my lounge…
Next week is the final week of the summer holidays, the kids…yes kids (plural) start back on 4th September, Martha is starting school, she will attend 5 mornings, she has a little uniform and looks so grown up in it…of course I will share a first day picture with you all!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend….thank you for all your comments and continued reading!
