WIP update - finally...

Ok, so I can't show how I am doing with my model stitching, but I can post pics of my other WIPS...
 you can see in an earlier post how the cactuses will look when they are finished. I am not sure I will include the figures or just leave it as the cactuses, but that will be for later to decide:)
I am quite pleased with the color choice. It is not what the pattern called for, but I am happy. I thought I had enough beads for the corners as well, but I think I am out 2-3 beads, so I will probably use white beads for them instead. I have a few bits to finish off and then I can finish it into a needleroll...which I have never done before, so that will probably take a bit of time:)

I have probably one or two days left on the first model, and then I will take a break for a day or two and get some other things done before I start on the second piece...I have some finished pix that I want to make into Christmas pressies...

Other than that I am trying to move as much as possibly upstairs to the loft to make the living room less cluttered, which I am hoping will make my head less cluttered...and I am gonna get the stuff in the loft organised and packed away as it is not long before we move again now...and most of it I won't be using before the move...I will leave the boxes open just in case, just packed and ready to be closed up...then I can start packing away things that we are not actually using at the moment, which would mean we don't really need to have them cluttering the place...just trying to be prepared so that the move when the time comes goes smoothly and less stressful...considering I will be looking for work from December onwards...we need to go to Inverness to look at the areas to see where we want to live...and we need to decide on if we are gonna buy a property to have as an investment for later, or if we should rent for the time we are in Inverness...considering we don't know where we will end up after that time...

Time will tell...

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:)
