Slight Trip Up and Other Stuff!

I have no stitching to show today but thought I'd blog just quickly:) I have almost finished Just Nan Spring in the Air and should get the last few stitches and beads done tonight providing I can stay off this darn PC! Once that is done I'll finish off part 10 of Chatelaine Christmas Mystery IV before moving onto Papillon Creations Serendipity. If I finish that before the end of my rotation I'll probably go back to the Christmas ornament as I'll have had a good rest from stitching on the linen then:) Then I'll have to sort out the next round of my rotation but I'm thinking of making it a short one this time and making it mostly small stuff other than the two HAEDs. Speaking of HAEDs I am taking down the poll now and there is a winner! LOL! Putting together the results from the HAED forum and the poll on here the winner is.................... ( drum roll please!) Winter! Yes I know there will be some of you who will be disappointed that it's not Guardian ( waving at ya Paula!) but he will be coming out to play again in a while. I'd like to get a fair bit done, if I can, on Winter as it's nearly a year since I started her and I've not even managed three pages yet which is rather bad! I think I have just had too much on the go which is why it might just be a good idea to have a smaller rotation for a while! I'm certainly not giving up on the rotation as it's worked really well for me:)

Thank you to everybody who has entered the drawing for the pillow in my last post. I'll pick out a winner on Monday:)

I ordered my fabby for Just Nan Queen of the Needle yesterday from Polstitches. I looked at a few before I decided for definite to go with Dusky Rose. It should be OK for the design. God knows how long it'll take to get here with the postal strikes ( I won't get started on that!) but I'm hoping it won't be long:)

Well I have had slight trip up on the chart wagon:( Only slight and I do feel a bit guilty but when I explain I know you lovely stitchers will agree with me! LOL! In my obsession mission to get the Needleprint Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler ( still no luck {sob}) I found myself looking longily at the Needleprint website and fell in love with the Sarah Moon sampler. Well it was sold out so I thought there's no way I'm waiting until December then not being able to find it anywhere so off I went to Needlecraft Corner, found it on there, emailed Drema to see if she still had, which she did, so I have ordered it. Again I don't know how long it'll take to get here with the postal strikes ( can you tell I'm miffed about the strikes?!) So it's only a slight trip up and well within reason I think, don't you? LOL!

I am a wee bit worried about Abigail at the moment. I took her to the doctors last week as she had a really bad throat and had lost her voice ( it's been heaven! LOL!). Anyway she was given an antibiotic and the practice nurse said she should be getting better in a couple of days. Well she has now finished the antibiotic and is no better really so I'm taking her back after school. Those of you who knew me pre-blogger days on MSN Spaces will know that she had glandular fever a few years ago ( she was only just 10 so was rather young to have this) so I am worrying that this could be a recurrance of it, although it is doubtful I guess after nearly three years. Perhaps the infection is just being stubborn but I need to put our minds at rest and rule out the GF rearing it's ugly head again. Please keep your finger's crossed for her.

Well time I went and fetched my washing in I think. It's looking a bit dull out there. Thanks for reading:)
