    Been thinking of you today Soulie - hope it went as well as it could xxx


    The birthday fairy came today and brought me three Michael Powell stitchy sets - 3 little lighthouses, and some girly treats as well so am a happy bunny indeed.

    Birthday tea was a bit scuppered cos we had a power cut so we all ended up at Morrisons for tea instead.

    Have deliberately left all work stuff at work and planning on drinking and stitching (power now fixed) and watching some programmes I've recorded just for tonight:T

    Happy Birthday Dora!!! balloons.gif

    Best wishes with the pregnancy Caroline, and wow that's the fastest stitching i've ever seen!! shocked.gif

    ~~~~~

    i'm feeling more perky, and put all that nervous energy to good use scrubbing the bathroom and sewing a little retro style wooden circular handle bag to take my Xstitch tomorow. so i feel productive, even if its not quite what i should have been doing! 4u2ap3b.gif

    On another note, does anyone have the full Dictionary of Love (that's the only one I'm missing:()

    Everyone's pics look really good. Will try and add some of mine, when go through stash tonight.

    Ruth-honey - wondering where to build my extension or whether to make my 2 boys share, would be Armageddon though :rotfl:

    I've only got the top bit of that one that was featured in the magazine a while ago-sorry. It would make a great Valentines present for any hubby's/boyfriends/kids that are reading this over shoulders...;)

    You could make the boys sleep in the garden. Camping is fun, right??? LOL! Then you could have a huge craft room...

    Oooh, we like birthday fairies. Shame about the power cut. Glad it's all fixed now & hope you're enjoying your evening of stitching & TV.
