Blah!

Poor Abi has been down this week with the sickness bug that's doing the rounds again. She hasn't actually been sick but been feeling it and looked so pale and awful. She's had three days off school but was feeling well enough to go back today. Tuesday after tea I felt awful and thought I was going to pass out so I don't know if I've picked up the bug or what but let's just say I am sick and tired of feeling ill and I'm so fed-up with everything. I feel as though I get no support in anything anymore and just get taken for granted. I won't say anymore as my blog will get boring ( or is it already?) so I'm zipping it as I don't want to lose my readers.

So I only have an update on Queen this week as I didn't stitch on Sea Stars at all so I reckon Karen will have got more done now:) I didn't get that much done on Queen as the cashmere stitch row seemed to take ages to finish but I had to get a bunny done at least:) Isn't he/ she a cutie!

I have finished stitching Kyrie's PIF gift but still have to make it up so I hope to get that done soon. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out as I missed some backstitch off and didn't realise until it was too late when I'd pulled fabric threads. Ever get the feeling you really shouldn't be allowed near fabric and threads?!!! I've also got half a page of Chris' RR done. The fabric she chose is lovely to stitch on and I really enjoyed the bit I got done. I may sit and stitch more on it this afternoon.

I have the February JA/S&S SAL challenge to start yet but at least I have an idea of what fabric and thread I'm going to use providing the fabric is a bit enough piece. We are doing Dragonfly Stitches Valentine Heart this time and it's really pretty so I really want to stitch it. Reveal day is 22nd Feb this time ( I think!).

I'm hoping my first Blackbird Designs Loose Feathers chart and fabby ( yes Helen I am still on the chart wagon!) will arrive this week. As far as I know Drema despatched them last week as some of the girls on the Blackbird Designs Yahoo group have got theirs. I'm hoping to take part in the SAL there starting 15th Feb but I don't think my threads will arrive in time as I ordered them in JJ's superbowl sale and haven't heard anything yet. I know they get really busy at sale times though so I will just have to wait:)

I'm going to catch up on blogs for an hour or so then I suppose I better do some housework! Hope everyone is having a good week! {{{{hugs}}}}
