I am Still Around!

Sorry for the lack of blogging since Monday, or whenever it was I last posted:) Thank you Nicky ( on the SMO board) for getting in touch and wondering if I was OK. I haven't had any stitching to share or anything to say really. It hasn't been a particularly good week as far as my mood goes but I shall leave it at that and say no more!

On the stitching front I have had a brilliant week on HAED quick stitch Summer ACEO, so much so that page 4 is finished so I only have about 17 rows on the last two pages to do and she is finished! So I have tonight and tomorrow night before I should move on to the next piece in my rotation but I have decided that I will carry on with Summer until she is done:) I don't think I will manage it by the time my stitching goes away tomorrow night but I don't think she should take much longer ( finger's crossed!). I have also done a bit of "secret stitching" this week. Mwah-ha-ha!

One more week and it's school's out! I can't wait! No more getting up early if I don't want to, no more nagging at Abi to get her bag sorted, no more homework etc! Lol! Bliss! Well bliss until her and Jess start arguing and niggling at each other!

We've had yet another wet week up here in East Yorkshire. The promenade road has been closed all week, but I haven't worked out just what for yet! There are pipes across the road, from the dyke that runs from the mere to the sea, over the sea wall so am guessing it's something to do with the dyke. Maybe the pipe that goes under the road is blocked or something. Fire engines are out pumping out behind the post office and newsagents. The water has never really cleared properly since the original heavy downpour the other week and this is the second time they've had to pump out. The problem is the land falls away quite sharply behind there and at the back is the park which is terrible when it rains as it's so boggy. Oh well we'll just have to have whatever comes!

I've been tagged by
Julie to list 7 things about me and then tag 7 others ... I always really struggle to think of things so if I repeat myself I apologise!
  1. I love chocolate brazil nuts!
  2. I love all three CSI programs.
  3. I passed my driving test first time.
  4. I am addicted to cross stitch and love buying stash ( unbelievable huh?!!)
  5. I love hand dyed fabric
  6. I love anything to do with Christmas
  7. DH and I honeymooned in Tenby ( very exotic!)

I'm not going to tag anybody as lots of people have already been tagged.

That's it from me. See you again when Summer is finished!
