Evening everyone
My haven't you all been busy?
I have not posted in awhile, but have been lurking, and keeping an eye on all your progress.
Been having a bit of a rough time lately, and it doesn't seem to be improving at the moment. I think it is stress making me feel so rough.

Belated anniversary wishes to all those with recent anniversaries, hope you all had lovely days with your other halves.

The up dates have all been lovely, especially love PP Louise :T.

I have been doing a little bit on the fathers day fizzy moon for the kids. I will do an Up date piccie asap!

Right best sort tea for the kids
AMx

Louise. Happy belated Anniversary!

Sweetcarer. Nice progress on your Lavender.

Mags. Nice progress on your scene too. The horse really puts life into it.

Chicky. Love Princess Palace. Can't wait to see it finished.

Mrs mp. Hope your niece is well again soon.


No stitching done here today though I did get some done at the weekend while F1 was on. I think all of the Tigers body colours are done, just grass left now.

lol it's ok am.

fos jealous.........much. I'da LOVED to see the JCS live but the tickes were mucho out of my price range and hubby wouldn't have gone so I would have had to find someone else

Chicky - Princess Palace is looking good, you'll have it finished in no time.

Mrsmp - sorry to hear about your neice, hope she pulls through and makes a speedy recovery.

sweetcarer - made a good start on your lavender - looking forward to seeing it 'grow'.

mrs.m - thinking of you and your family. x

chicky - PP is looking good.

AM - sorry you've not been feeling too well. Hope you pick up soon.

I find the tv adverts really frustrating too. I tend to set the recorder in the morning for the rest of the day and when I settle down at night time to watch stuff I can just zap through the ads. Family members have a laugh when, on the rare occasion I'm watching 'live' tv with remote in hand grumbling that the damn thing must need new batteries as I can't fast forward.

Still no stitching done here. Can't see anything getting started before the weekend.

Seems much cooler here today and looks pretty grey outside.

Take care everyone,

Louise Hope you both had a good anniversary
sweetcarer Lavender is coming along
mags_cat the horse is great, white on white is horrible to stitch and black on black is worse, I think.
mrs m big hugs for your niece
chicky your palace is looking good
shelly cant wait to see an update of the tiger

I have just been watching "the hoarder next door" wow some people have loads of stuff in their houses. I thought I was a hoarder, but not anymore. I maybe a little hoarder with magazines and stitchy stuff :rotfl:and clothes lol

Just a quick hello and hi and hugs to all. Have been lurking last few days and reading all your posts.
Wow keeping up with all the forums etc is taking hours, lol.

Stitchy news:

Almost finished summer exchange piece just need to decide on finish, thinking coaster,notebook or passport cover.

I am tempted by Around the world in 80 stitches sal that ppl seem to be doing, just discovered the papillion site I really love the concept of learning diff stitches from diff countries.

have subscribed to 19 stitchy and crafty blogs last day or so, and still haven't managed to start mine

I have also received charity kits which I have said I would do, they're bigger than anything done so far, slightly daunting for a newbie so will approach with a little and often attitude to start I think.

Need to start Oriental exchange...

Phew, think that is all

Hope everyone else is well and enjoying this lovely weather.
Loving all the updates and the princess palace is looking brill. Also the wedding sampler looks lovely too. ooh and Circe is also looking fab. Sorry prob missin out on lots of update comments to other well deserved ppl but brain is fuzzy at the mo.

Ciao for now xx

Dorastar

Not been stitching but looking after ds who has gone down with scarlet fever - very red and very itchy and very nangy and very "mummeeeeyyyyyyyyyy!" as soon as I dare leave his side. Has been better today but has spent most of day just in his undies to try to keep cool poor thing.

Am going to see if he'll let me do a bit tomorrow especially if I start one he likes.

augustsmummy

Dorastar - Hope your DS feels better soon, and that the antibiotics start to improve things very soon. I had that as a child, its horrible - I had it really bad, but my GP didn't diagnose me till I was very ill and dehydrated (ended up in hospital) despite my mum ringing him all day, and him doing 3 home visits!
Best thing is fluids to avoid dehydration, and keeping the fever down.
