Worst night ever :0(

Sophie (4) has been ill for a few day's with a cough.On Thursday she had a temperature of 39 after nursery so we gave her some calpol she asked to go to bed at about 6.30.we keep ed checking her before we went to bed and gave more calpol.Anyway at 2am we got woken up by her screaming like I've Never heard before, I thought someone was in the house.Simon got to her first but she didn't recognise him, I got hold of her and hugged her holding her close to me I thought she must have had a really bad dream but then she keep ed looking around like she could see things and went back to being a baby screaming so much every time she thought she saw something coming near her, she just wasn't right.Simon called for an ambulance and I went with her to hospital.They said she has a virile infection and when the temperature goes to high you can start to hallucinate.The temperature went back down.They said to take her home and to let the doctor know in the morning.So I took her to the doctors and he said the same thing and that the infection can affect the brain (that's why she saw things).I have to keep an eye on her temperature.I had the day off work today to look after her. She is so sacred all the time now looking round all the time, she can remember all of it and won't go to the toilet on her own.I'm just so glad I have my little girl back, she is still ill and sacred but going to be OK.

Exchange 3

Thank you to my stitcher Edit. I received a lovely Christmas hanger and some card toppers.With it a present to open on Christmas day.I will post a photo when hubby uploads them.

I have done most of my Christmas shopping today just Simon's to get and a few little bit's.I have also ordered a new Chocolate colour carpet the old one is cream, not a good colour when you have 3 kids and pet's.it should be fitted by next week:0).

Sophie's not well again so well be off nursery tomorrow.

New Kitten

Here is my kitten he is soooo cute.We called him kitty not very original but it's just what we all keeped calling him.I have managed to get woody (my dog) in the same room and they have sniffed each other.They look at each other but just walk past.I won't be leaving them alone together though.Not yet anyway.

I haven't done any stitching for a while but have started a new book called I did tell I did by Cassie Harte, it's about a little girl who never felt loved and bad things are happening to her.Very sad and it's a true story.

We had a nice roast dinner today Roast chicken, roast potatoes, stuffing, cabbage and leek, gravy and yorkshire pudding and we had apple pie and custard for dessert yummy.

Christmas crafts

Today I went to a Christmas craft workshop, with my friend Honey.It's run by the children's centre.They have a creche for the children (in the room next door) while the mum's do some art's and craft's.

Here's what I made.

A Christmas cracker, with hat, joke, snapper and toy inside.Made from a toilet roll and wrapped in tissue paper, then tide with ribbon.

The star is lolly pop stick's glued together sprayed silver and sprinkled with glitter.

The gift bag is made from a cereal packet wrapped in Christmas paper then hole punch out some holes and for the handles tide some ribbon on, the gift tag was made from an old Christmas card cut out with crinkle scissors.

The father Christmas napkin holder is made from white furry fabric and pink felt for the face with googly eyes stuck on.

The sliver star right in the middle is my favourite.Made from a cut out star then you sick bow pasta shape's all round, when it's dry you spray it with sliver and sprinkle with sliver glitter.Then tie and ribbon at the top.

I had a lovely time and would definitely go on another workshop.They do gardening, story sacks and other's.

We also went to Stephen's parent's evening, he's doing really well in all subject's :0 ).Needs to pay more attention in English though.

Card finish

I have just finished this Christmas penguin card, a free cover kit from Card shop magazine.I love the bright colours in it.I finished it off with some stickers.I'm still stitching on Cataflute which is coming along very slowly.I will take a photo soon.I think I'm a really slow stitcher plus 3 kid's, 2 job's and pet's!

I'm getting my kitten on Friday, so I've had a clear out and put all my stitching away so the kitten won't get to it.

Seems like I'm doing a lot of picking up dropping off at the moment so in and out every few hours.It takes up so much time. Got a big shop coming from Tesco and parent's evening tomorrow.

Simon had a nice Birthday on 22nd.I cooked him a meal which everyone liked except Stephen, he is so fussy!

Christmas Exchange

Here is the Christmas exchange I received from Sadie. A lovely ornament and Christmas card I really love it, thank you so much.

It made me feel all Christmassy (I want to put the tree up now lol).

Also I wanted to show you my new kitten a Persian seal point boy, I can't wait to pick him up next weekend :o).This will be my frist cat so I'm very excited. I already have a dog and have been reading up on how to get them used to each other.Woody, my dog is a real softie.So should be ok after a week or two.I'm thinking of calling him smudge, coco or sky.

Not doing much tonight just staying in and making chicken curry, my favourite.
