Good day today:)

Hubby had a day off today, so I got a lie in. Most of the time I get disturbed in the morning and cannot sleep long, but today I was pretty much unconscious until 10am, eventually getting up 10.15. I know that meant I really needed the sleep, and I feel really good now.

The rest of the day was mostly spent working on my folksy reindeer, and I finished it just before dinner:)

I will be making him into an ornament of some sort, but am not yet sure what kind...either a standing one, or a hanging one...or, possibly one of those adorable small pillow ornaments I've seen on blogs but never made myself. Wondering if I should be doing a poll, but am not sure enough people are actually interested enough to read my little blog...lol

So, tomorrow I will try to focus on finishing a few of my little projects. Of course that means I will have to move hubby's laptop and paperwork from the kitchen table so I have somewhere to put the sewing machine, but that should be doable:)

Tonight I may start on another little project that I have already set up...or possibly spend with hubby if he is not planning on studying/working in the kitchen...

It is windy here today, has been all day, and we have had rain on and off, but when I took Tara out this afternoon it was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! We walked along the road down to the water, I threw the ball a little for her, and then spent the rest of the walk trying to persuade Tara to walk and not lie down and chew her ball...hence the walk took quite some time even though it was a short walk...she can be very stubborn...she just stops and stares at me as if I can read her mind...of course in a way I can...I know she just wants to chew her ball...lol. I did let her stop quite often as I enjoyed looking out over the water:)

  1. Love the reindeer - those antlers are so cool! I think that the pillow idea is really neat. Just like you, I have seen them on-line but never dared trying my hands at one. (If we are talking tuck-pillow that is...)

  2. I think that is what they are called...just a tiny ornamental pillow (of course the size of the reindeer). I did nothing useful today unfortunately...some days I just can't seem to get my finger out...I need to get myself in order...sometimes it is not very good being without a job...

  3. Grats on the little finish Ylva. I can't wait to see what you make of him. Or for him. Or her. Whatever, lol. Glad to hear you had a nice walk with Tara. Whenever I walk Vin, he's all about sniffing everything. He would no more think to lie down than you or I would think to take our clothes off in public. He's very busy on walks as he doesn't get them much. David usually takes him out in the back yard and puts him on his run. Then he plays with him and runs him around for exercise. I occasionally take him for a walk, and he's very good for me. Probably because he knows I'm strong enough to be in control, lol.

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:)
