Sunday Stitching

Well, after a very busy Saturday (which included: a scrapping class on Twinkling H2Os, lots of noise from 3 children (we had visitors), chocolate, sudden silence (one child sleeping, the rest gone home), un unexpected cybercrop MSN chat and an almost forgotten online class) Sunday has been comparatively very restful. I have caught up mostly on the washing up and have done 3 loads of washing (due to the girlie wetting the bed after 2 completely dry months - even Jarmie Bear was soaked! - I had to wash ALL of her bedding.) And I even got to do some stitching! To the left you can see the start of Barnabee's Quest designed by Nan Caldera of Just Nan. I have wanted to do this design for a while now and it makes a nice change from Teresa Wentzler's dragons!

Of course, I didn't get all of this done today, just the flowers and the stems, but with any luck I should get the other side done tonight and then do a bit more border perhaps.

I am only working 3 days this week - then it is off to the Big Smoke for some Professional Development looking at libraries in the Digital Age. Should be interesting! At teh very least I might get some good shopping in...LOL...

Hooray!

I have my freezer back!!!! It still needs to be carefully wedged between the wall of the laundry and the washing machine so I haven't actually pluygged it in yet so I don't really know if it works. They say they fixed it so I will give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Of course, when I rang them this morning at 8.30 and said "I will be in all day" and they said "Good, we'll drop it round this morning then" I didn't think they meant STRAGHT AWAY! I looked at the clock and decided that yes, I did have time for a speedy shower. Lucky it was speedy as as I was just finished drying off and thinking about my toothbrush I heard the van drive up. Five seconds later I have my tracksuit on and my towel off my hair. Unfortuantely I had forgotten to pull the zipper of my top up so it showed a little bit more of my chest than I bargained for as I opened the door. Luckily for me it wasn't x-rated footage. The delivery boy was a lovely lad I remember from year 12 a couple of years back and was just as polite as I remembered him. Thank goodness! :)

Well, back to work again tomorrow after spending a snotty day with the girlie. Why do kids never drink enough when they have a cold??? Or full stop for that matter? I have had to fight her every step of the way with fluid today. Oh well, she's not my problem tomorrow... he he he...

Some scrapping

Here are a couple of challenges I did as part of the cybercrop at The Little Scrapbook Shop last weekend. The box is about 2x2 inches and the LO is the normal size.

Enjoy!

Movies: 57 out of 239

I found this one on Teresa Wentzler's blog...
“It’s been said that allegedly if you’ve seen over 85 movies you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, go to your own blog, paste it in and put x’s by the ones that you have seen. Add them up, change the header adding your number, and post it.”

For the record, Teresa got 30.
