Mary

I dont really have much to blog about! Just been busy spending the days with Caleb, meeting friends and i was at camp for a week. Ive been putting stitches into Mary Wigham when i get the opportunity last thing at night, here's how its looking.

A main water pipe burst in the village yesterday so we were without water for the day. Its back on now but the road has collapsed so to even get to my mums house (5mins away) i would have to take a 45minute detour. The only road going out of the village in that direction is one way and apparently the police are sittting waiting for cars using it and issuing fines. Disgraceful! Its the only road out and they should be putting up traffic lights so it can be temporarily used as a 2 way road so that people dont have to take massive detours.

Baby got teeth!

As of this week, my baby has teeth! 2 teeth! Look

My baby has also started being able to push himself around the floor. I left him on his playmat, came back into the room and this is where i found him

Time has really flown. He's great fun. My friend has a newborn baby and wow, how different! I can only vaguely remember that stage now.

Anyway, i started Mary Wigham. Progress will be slow because i dont get much time to stitch, just late evenings for half an hour at the most

Im off to camp on Saturday for a week. This is a camp our church runs. We have a boys week, a girls week and a mixed teen week. I help run the girls week. Theres about 60 of us this year. Its hard work but i love it. Ive been every year since i was 10. Im not sleeping there and i'll be travelling back and forward a lot during the day to help out with Caleb but the campsite isnt far from my house.

Busy day

Had a busy, productive, good day today. I hung out 2 loads of washing, then we went to church, then the 3 of us went and had lunch outside at a nice restaurant that has outside heaters (because the hot weather has gone), came home and baked a banana loaf, brought my washing in, put my washing away, put another load in, emptied the dishwasher, washed and sterilised bottles. Tonight i plan on sitting on my butt, scoffing my banana loaf, watching the apprentice final on tv and stitching....of course that plan involves Caleb being a good boy and going to bed early!

So, now Caleb' s sampler is finished i could work on one of my many wips (oh so many wips) but then i read Hazel's blog and now i just have to start this, which i know you've probably all seen by now but im always behind in blogworld. Gorgeous eh? Im gonna order my linen this week!

Barbara's comment on my last post made me laugh. Yes it was brave to let Caleb hold the sampler but believe me i was quick in taking the photo...and i was worried about him puking or drooling all over it!
