Boo Hoo..

Not lost a thing this week, now to stay positive. Have CT tomorrow, so feeling a tad wound up. If result is not favourable, I have some decisions to make. Send me lots of positive thoughts, I sure need them.

Grandma Irene again!


I looked after Sam yesterday, what a live wire he is. He has just discovered there is life beyond the floor. He like to pull himself up using your trousers or ought else thats handy! lol Here he is, can't miss a photo op.


Quaker progress..


Stitched a couple of nights on this one. I started it in 2006, just hoping I have enough floss to complete the design. Fingers crossed.

On to MB Four Seasons now, I am loving this one.

Struggling tonight...

How to combat emotional eating? I am a tad stressed at the moment, so what do I turn to...Yep, you got it FOOD. No damage done so far, hit the fruit instead! I have my CT scan coming round again on Tuesday. How I hate the waiting. I will take myself to bed now, out of harms way. Send me lots of those positive vibes.

Its Monday again..

I have lost another 3lbs. Whoppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeee. Not bad considering I went out for a 3 course meal. I was very lucky to get away with that, lets hope it dosn't show next week!
Had a good week stitching wise. Finished a Mailart & a Hardhanger Biscornu. Pics to follow, as they are for an exchange.
Not long to go before the Crafty Natter stitching get to gether, I am so looking forward to meeting all the Gals. Just imagine a whole day of stitching chatter!!

Week 1 of Weight Loss

I am over the moon, lost 12lbs this week. Now whilst I know this will NOT happen every week, its still a very good start! This was done following the WW programe. Its given me such a boost to carry on. Whooo Hooooooooo

Good Neighbours progress


I am putting this to one side for a bit. Need to get some smalls stitched for exchanges. I have managed to complete the first page & start on the next one.

Fours Seasons rotation finished.


I've put this one away to stitch on PV's Good Neighbours. I enjoyed stitching on this one.
Now Good Neighbours is another matter, lots of 1/4 stitches and back stitching! The chart is Card & opens up to revel 4 pages, not easy to work with. I fancy it will be in bits before its finished. lol

Today is D day..

I am going to take control of my weight in 2009. I have been a serial Yo Yo dieter for years. Now weigh more than ever before. WW meetings are too expensive for me, but I do well on thier weight loss plan, soooo my Sister is going to join me & together we will win! 2 years ago we did really well, Liz lost 5 stone & I lost 4.5 stone.. Sadly we both fell off the wagon & are suffering for it. So wish me well. I have taken a before pic, but its so awful I am not going to post it till I have lost a stone or two. Fo health reasons I really need to make it this time. I am looking at 50lbs loss for my first goal. Then I will go for the next 50lbs. As you can see I have a daunting task ahead. Wish me luck.

Thank you Ladies


For the wonderful welcome to the Blogging world. Kim I fully intend to post pics of Samuel. He is growing like a weed & looks very grown up these days. Last week saw the advent of his 6th tooth! Did I mention he is gorgeous, but then I am biased. Here he is his first Christmas dressed as Santa.
