Happy Birthday Mel

My Baby is 16 today, it really doesn't seem like 16 years since she looked like this

And now she looks like this, isn't she pretty

And because she's now a teenager and I've made it my mission to embrass her as us Mum's are suppossed to do, one of her as a toddler

WIP update

I finally got round to scanning Floral Bellpull, bear in mind that I haven't touched this in 10 days now so I'm quite pleased with the amount I did in 4 days

I will get back to it soon, maybe the end of this week after the funeral

Another finish

Finished yesterday afternoon, French Country Lamb by JBW Designs

A Finish

Snow Swirls from Dragonfly Stitches, finished yesterday

On Light Blue Murano and using #12 perle

I can't concentrate enough to work on my TW's right now so there's going to be a few little finishes over the next couple of weeks

Stitching helps keep my mind busy or I'd be a wreck on the sofa surronded by piles of used tissues

R.I.P Gran

Edna May Jones passed away yesterday afternoon from Pneumonia.
I was at her bedside and holding her hand when she left us

WIP Update

I should of added this last week really as a weekly update but never got round to it, any it's not changed since last Monday so it makes no difference.

It's TW SAL month on the Wagon and this is going to be my main project for the month with the aim of getting the Pansy block done, I've got 2 blocks left and 3 months to do them in if I'm going to meet my goal of finishing this year.

Fingers crossed I'll remember to add a weekly update pic

I've spent my morning at my Gran's waiting for the Doc once again, she rang Mum this morning said not well and put the phone down! Mum rang her back and she doesn't remember doing it anyway her vision is alot worse than normal and she felt really ill so Mum called the Doc.
Doc thinks that going on her past history and the last 2 visits when Gran has been very confused she has yet another water infection so she has yet another round of antibiotics to take.
It would help if she changed her 'nappy' more than once a day but we can't make her understand that, sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall with her (at times I think we'd have more luck if we did!)

It's been one of those days today where no matter what I've been doing there's been some sort of hold up.
Started out with Mum not being ready on time to go to our weekly beading class, so we were late arriving there then we were later than normal leaving so we got stuck in traffice that we normally miss.
Then on the way to the weekly thing with DD our normal route was blocked by Police so we went through the village and discovered that the other route was bloacked off by Police as well so I had to turn round and go through town which meant hitting the start of rush hour.
Then there's the bridge to get over that's traffic light controlled as it's only wide enough for one car at a time and there's always a queue to get over it the size of which depends on the time of day.
As I got to the thing my phone rang and it was someone calling to find out where we were and of we were caught up in the accident that had caused the first route to be blocked off.

Once at the thing my hands decided that they weren't going to play ball and I sat there for the biggest part of an hour unable to move more than my thumbs until a bowl of warm water was brought for me.

I'm glad I'm home with my needles and floss now and I just hope the frogs don't pick today to make a visit

Ooooo, well that was interesting
There's just been a van full of Policeman in full riot kit outside my house!
I was stood in the kitchen being nosey and one of the PCSO's saw me and said something so I went out and he said it was nothing to worry out about, I wasn't worried just nosey.
Anyway it turns out they were there to break the door down on one of the house's across the way under the misuse of drugs act.
It appears that there has been several reports from neighbours about it, well I never get to see anything because I'm off to the side and my living room doesn't over look the parking area so had no idea about it.

I've had quite along chat to him about a few things and he's told me that sometime over the next few weeks a speed trap will be appearing somewhere along the main road I live off and on the main dual carrigeway through the centre of town and it's about time too.

A second finish from Thursday, my first Biscornu. I can see there being more of them in my future
