Off he goes...

Ok, so off he goes towards the hot sunny homeland of Sri Lanka, to spend 5days with his mum and other relatives. He spoke with his mum yesterday, and she was giving him a run down of the "schedule" when he gets there...he is pretty much gonna go from one of his relatives to another, eating his way through the days. I admit, he was nervous about seing his mum, asking if he should wear a suit when he goes...I said that she would not care if he wears a suit or a jute sack, all she cares about is that he is gonna spend time with her:)

So, here I am, having been out with the dog for a 90minute walk, watching CSI and potting about the computer. I am gonna try to make somewhat of a schedule for myself, so that I don't just waste my time...and to make sure I eat proper meals and not just silly quick snacks...starting tonight. I have taken salmon out and am gonna do salmon and noodles:)

I won't be working on finishing the little project today, but am gonna work on the Monopoly board. Tomorrow, once I've done the work, dog walk and lunch, I am gonna go to my room and spend time working through things...

Wish me luck:)

    Good luck Ylva!!!! (Vicki told me after you came down to see her how to pronounce your name, and now I want to spell it phonetically, lol.) Glad you have made a schedule. I'm sorry you couldn't go with as I know you would have really liked that. But you'll enjoy Orkney more, so if you only got to go to one, I know which one you'd pick!! Can't wait to see your Monopoly progress. Mine won't be picked up for quite a while as it's pretty far down in my rotation!

    I have to admin that it would have been nice to go on a holiday, but to be honest I feel quite good him going on his own as he has not been home for so very long. His mum is really happy...he said she is starting to smile:) But he is worried as she has not been taking care of herself. He says that the heat, humidity, flora and fauna is very similar to Barbados where we spent a month. I loved Barbados, but the humidity was horrible...I handled the heat in Israel much better than the heat and humidity of Barbados...and when I was on top of the Massada rock, they told us it was more than 45degrees centigrade in the shade...but there was hardly any shade...but I managed ok. I can handle dry heat which is what we have back home in Sweden:)And, as far as the Monopoly board goes...it is still in the project box...I am doing a little folksy bird from the Gift of Stitching instead at the moment...just want to do some small projects...don't want too much pressure on my shoulders...

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

Notice

So...I have told people at work that I am leaving, and feel sooo relieved:) Did not enjoy it for a second, but the reaction was ok, and the fact that I am gonna hand my notice in tomorrow (still won't leave until middle/end July) is gonna help my manager start looking for a replacement straight away, and hopefully I can train my successor before I leave. Other than that I am just potting about looking for inspiration even though I have way too much to do already...been out wtih Tara for walks yesterday and today in teh drizzle...halfway through today's walk the sun came out an dit was really warm, but now it is grey again...I am not complaining too much as it is a relief after so much sun...the ground needs it as well. Am gonna take my sewing machine down to the kitchen table tomorrow, and my fabrics, and am gonna play around a bit whilst my husband works nights over the weekend...am hoping to have some pictures to show for it:)
