Stitching

So...did some housework, spoke to hubby who is doing alright. Well, he is doing a lot of eating...he is going from one relative to the next eating his way through the family (so to speak)...I was sitting here working on a folksy bird when my cat decided that the pattern is the perfect place to sleep, so she is now curled up on top of the pattern, and the other cat is on the next seat curled up. It is strange to see them so close together as they really only tolerates eachother...Darwin just stretched and almost got Pearl's ears:) If I get up now, I can guarantee at least one of them will jump and the peace is gone...but I have to go to bed...I am really tired...

And, tomorrow is my weigh in, and I have no hope whatsoever that I have lost...more than anything I am expecting to have gained for teh third week in a row...

Wish me luck...

    Oh, Ylva, I'm sorry you're having a bad day. It sucks to gain when you want to lose. I know this well. I tend to gain too! As soon as I lose it, I gain it right back. UGH!!! Maybe it's partly that you're just missing you dh. And you know he's far away, and he's somewhere you wish you could be too. Can't wait to see piccys of what you're working on. Next update, maybe? (I routinely harass Vicki for pics too.) BTW, I am now on Skype. Vicki was gonna give you my username, but since I'm here, it's the same as my name here. Come say hello someday!

    Well Julie, it is partly that I miss hubby, but the main thing seems to be that my body goes on strike every time I try to loose weight. Last time I lost 2stone, I ended up with a 7week period, and very wonky periods ever since...this time I am not giving up however. And today to my astonishment I lost 2pounds:) Yey me:) I will take a pic of the birdy tonight or tomorrow...it is really cute even though it is so not my normal colours...:)

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:)
