IHSW

I managed to get a bit done but not much.I'm hoping to finish it in the next few days.

We have been to the pictures a few times in the last week.Me and Simon went to see Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn on Friday.Then last night we took all 3 kids to see Arthur Christmas.
As it was Simon's Birthday I made him steak, mash and stuffed mushrooms.Then after gluten free chocolate cake it was sooooo nice.

I'm looking forward to Friday, I'm have my brows waxed (not all of them) and a luxury manicure.
Off to look at all your work now.

Treat-tea

I managed to stitch the second tea pot, it made me want to eat cake, it looks so yummy. Strangely stitching this is making me drink more cups of tea too.
It's my Birthday tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it :0). I know I have some stitching goodies.I will post a picture of them next time.
Simon said, "Whatever stitching you finish before Christmas I will get it framed for you."So I want to get this done and maybe another one.The weather looks terrible for fireworks, so might stay in.

Tea

This is what I got done over the weekend.
I'm so pleased I managed to finish this square.As I was ill all weekend!
I will be having a look at every one's progress very soon.

We have just had Sophie's parent's evening, she is writing her name and other things backwards so I will be helping her with that.She had a lot of time off last year from illness.

My first IHSW

I have joined in with IHSW.

For me it's a good excuse not to feel guilty about sitting down to stitch, I'm always thinking I should be getting something done.

It's the first time I have done this :0). I have chosen Dictionary of Tea by Bothy Threads.So here is the before picture, I will post an update on Monday or Tuesday.

Since I last posted we have had two Birthdays Sophie is now 6 and Stephen is now 15 and Katie is 13.

Living with two teenagers is interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun stitching.

We all had fun this weekend.Went on a date with Simon to see Final Destination 5 on Saturday night.

On Sunday we went to the zoo with his work place.
Then today all of us went bowling.
Planted some new flower's in the garden too.

The Garden

Here are a few picture's of my garden.

My favourite is of Sophie on her bike, we found out a few month's ago that she has coeliac.She is now on the gluten free diet and doing well.She will have more test's in November to make sure everything is ok.

I decided to make my garden a bit nicer, most of it will be in pot's like these Lilly's.We do have a small raised bed but the soil is all clay.So we are getting most of it out and starting again.I might plant some Rose's in there, as they are ment to like it.I have got few book's from the library to help me.

I love bright colours.

The smell of theses Lilly's are so lovely.

I haven't done any stitching latley, but hope to soon.
