Hello folks, by ‘eck it’s been a bit fresh here the weekend, but it’s now chucking it down like stair rods….let’s hope it stops by the morning, I hate having soggy trouser bottoms when I get to work.
Well a few happenings here…first one is that I made the decision to defer my studies for a few years, i was a mad crazy lady to think I could manage working 18 hours, study 28 hours alongside caring for 2 kiddiewinks, managing my diabetes and keeping house….I have 16 years to complete my degree and my credits from my completed modules stand until then, which is fantastic…..I feel really relieved now, my stress levels have already dropped I’m going to enjoy my family time.
I treated myself to this lovely cheery bunch of mixed flowers….in my lovely flower jug which was my birthday gift from my grandparents…
I have felt the need for a little extra warmth these past few evenings, so i dug out one of the old hot water bottles….it was looking very sad and naked….but now look…..it’s all snuggly now…
I remembered I hadn’t showed you my stitched Christmas gifts I sent out….
For Michelle….
For Kath…
For Melanie…
Now I have a little more free time I hope to blog a little more often….until next time
Hugs & Stitches

What a lovely cheery bunch of flowers indeed! And pretty gifts sent out too :) I so wish I could crochet! I think you've adopted the right attitude with the studies....why stress yourself out like that! One step a ta time!
I love my ornament thanks so much
Lovely gifts sent. Your hot water bottle cover is great. Gorgeous flowers. I am sure you have made the right decision for yourself.
So pleased to hear you are taking more 'me' time Elisa. I think sometimes we don't realize how much we have taken on. I am pleased for you. Your flowers are lovely and thank you again for your lovely ornament xx
I'm sure your decision will mean happiness in the long term :) Lovely ornaments, and your hot water bottle looks very snuggly :)
Best wishes.
Have sent you an email Elisa.
Love the hot water bottle cover and some beautiful ornaments.
At least in a few years your children will be that much older so you should be able to cope with your extra studies a lot better. It's no fun struggling and stressing over it.
gorgeous stitching :D
Sounds like you have made a good decision for yourself! Lovely finishes ~ I am sure the ladies had smiles when they received them!
As someone who works full time, with 2 kids (one with diabetes), a husband and 2 cats and is finishing a level 3 with the OU - I really don't blame you for deferring!! It's hard work! Still come June this year, I will have finished my degree :D
