Little progress

So, I found myself stitching like a possessed woman yesterday...hubby had done the dog walking and all I had to do was dinner...he decided on what we were gonna watch whilst I stitched and stitched...
And, just look at Tara chewing her carrot...quite amazing how she holds it between her paws...slightly upset that I won't let her out to eat her carrot as it is raining and miserable outside...
She can be so adorable sometimes...a bit on the stubborn side though...but I am more stubborn:)

    My mom always used to say, "I am bigger, I WILL win!!!" Too funny, lol. Tara is cute eating her carrot. I wouldn't mind some of that rain. It's going on three weeks of dry here. ICK!!! I like your new start. Very pretty colors!!!

    It is getting on real well this design...but I tried some beads that are supposed to be stamens or something, but they just look too much, so I have settled for my first attempt at french knots, which is more subtle and much better...can only hope they'll stay french knots...lol

    We have now had rain since Friday...today we've only had a bit of drizzle so much better, but I need sunshine if I am going to be able to clean the pots properly...don't want to be out in the rain cleaning them as I'll just end up with a cold...and that I do NOT need...

    I hope they stay French Knots for you too. I can't do them at all, so you're ahead of me, lol. I used to be able to do them, but not anymore. We had a smidge of rain yesterday, but barely enough to wet the ground. Which sucked as I didn't find out that it barely rained till late last night (elevenish) and by then it was too late to go out and water as it was dark. All my plants were parched this morning!

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:)
