Chicks

Arent these cute? I bought them in a craft shop in my local town, Largs. A lady knits them. Inside there is a creme egg! I bought these 2 to send over to my niece and nephew in Canada for Easter.

The clocks changed this weekend. British summertime apparently...theres snow forecast this week!! What's that all about?

Did anyone watch the BBC show lastnight called Enid? A drama about Enid Blyton's life. I loved her books when i was a kid. After watching that show i really dont like her though! She seemed to be all about her fans and her glory and the public perception of her, to the detriment of her husband and kids. Ive still got 20mins left to watch so maybe she redeems herself but it doesnt look likely.

An almost finish

Why does blogger switch photos round? I give up trying to get this the right way round. Ive nearly got this one finished anyway. Just the beads to add and im just trying to decide whether to do the faces or not...what do you think? Its french knots for the eyes and then a red bead for the nose/mouth????

Its been one of those weeks here. Caleb was sick for 3/4 days, with some kind of stomach bug. I was worried about him. He wouldnt even drink so we kept having to syringe water into his mouth to keep him hydrated. Then i had a couple of days of feeling rough. Then we had some bad news about a friend. Just one of those horrible weeks you know?

Work this afternoon...enjoying my job at the moment. Its busy and challenging with lots of responsibility. Sometimes i think im a little out my depth but my boss seems to think i can do it....hey, im a quick learner :)

Happy Mothers Day!

March

After my moan-about-the-snow post last time i thought i had better show just how beautiful it has been the last few days! Blue sky, sunny and cold - perfect days! Looking over to the isle of Arran in this picture
So March doesnt "blow" like my recent finish suggests. I dont like this March design but hey ho, its finished anyway

So whats been happening recently? I got my hair cut short into a bob (cant decide if i like it but its easier to get ready in the mornings, so thats good), i started my new job and im really enjoying it, it was my 29th birthday on the 1st, my friend came up from London for 4 days and Caleb has started saying lots of words (his favourite seems to be bubble). Life is busy but all is good :)

Snow, snow go away!

Im really sick of snow. When will spring come? This much snow causes chaos here. Which is quite funny i suppose but annoying when you get stuck in your house all day and have to cancel your first hairdressers appointment in about 6 months aaaahhhhhhhh

New job - hurray!

Happy Valentines Day! I got a bunch of lovely Roses and a box of chocolates which we ate last night whilst watching the olympics. There's something not right about stuuffing your face with chocolate whilst watching all these elite sportsmen/women in tip top condition LOL DH is most unhappy with the BBCs coverage of the Olypmics...mostly because they never show any ice-hockey games. As a Canadian he's not impressed at the British lack of interest in his beloved national sport!

Still loving this rotation. Here's my update on CDC (turn your head to the side, i just cant get blogger to post this horizontally). I really want to finish this this year! I have a big space on the wall in my lounge where it would look perfect all framed.

I got a new job! Wooo Hooo! It is such great news. In terms of funding it is no more secure than where i was but i am just so glad to be away. Its terrible to work for a charity where people (i.e. the boss) dont turn up for work, lie, manipulate, bully, make terrible financial decisions etc etc She was not happy when i gave my notice and to cut a long story short i just have to go in for a few hours on Wednesday to wrap up and then im done! Its a great feeling! I start my new job a week tomorrow. My new job is sounding great. The boss has been emailing me lots of stuff already, including a few training courses she wants me to go on. That looks promising!

February glows??

My rotation is working a treat. I highly recommend it! I finished February. I put the snappers on the wrong way but now i'm thinking i prefer them like that and might leave them. Here's how my Bent Creek months are coming along so far.I dont think i would describe February as Glowing or March as Blowing but hey ho, it looks pretty anyway. Today, in the words of Barbara, i plan on getting Stitchers Butt LOL Bent Creek is back in the drawer and im moving on to work on Cirque.
