Isaac went back to school yesterday…I can’t believe how grown up he looks in his uniform, he is now in year 2, lots of hard work and homework, not sure who is dreading that more….erm me I think!!And here he is with a cheesy grin and a big one from Martha to match!
I’ve managed to do some stitching over the past couple of weeks (we’ve had a few drama’s but I will tell you that later). Firstly my progress on CCN “Little Ballerinas which is part of Martha’s birthday present, it’s such an easy stitch and the colours are so girlie!!
I have also managed to keep up with my LHN Monthly Ornie…this months is so far my favourite…”Peppermint Twist”
I just love the sweet candy cane button….so cute!!
LHN “Peppermint Twist”
32c Murano “Beige” with DMC threads
Finished as a hanging ornament with ric-rac and bead trim
Mark and I took the children to the park at the weekend and for a walk along the riverside ( I unfortunately was eaten alive :0()
I won’t bore you all with the little dramas, but the nasty horrible one…for about 2 weeks I had been hearing noises above my living room ceiling…I thought it was birds, then the noise became scratching, the next door neighbours have a house full of cats and kittens so I thought it must be them…but alas no, the noise got worse until one evening there was squeaking and scratching under the new boxed in with tongue and groove bath…the noise went on all night, running around under the floorboards all under the bedrooms, as you can imagine I was so freaked out. I called the council the next day who very nicely (as I have an infant) sent out the pest control that day…10 blocks of bait into holes under the bath and holes in the airing cupboard…”if you still hear noises in 7 days call again” he man told me. So several sleepless nights later…due to night time rodent activity I called the council again, he man came out again and laid some more. He told me that they go a bit crazy after 4-5 days…thank goodness he warned me, it sounded like an all night rave for a couple of nights, then on night 7….SILENCE….and it’s been silent for a week now. They are not sure whether it was mice or rats, but by the amount of bait they laid and the noise they think it may have been the larger of the two…brrrrrr!! My next door but one neighbour had a problem with one about 4 months ago under her stairs…all the houses in the block (4) are linked, but we think we know where they have come from…the house in the middle of us both is not know for it’s cleanliness….they have a problem with clearing their rubbish..so maybe that could be it. We hopefully have solved the problem for future have a go rats…expanding foam…it’s now under the floorboards in the bathroom and airing cupboard!!
No more scary stories now…I promise!!
Have a great weekend all!
