Hello I been MIA

I just realised how long it is since I posted here, really done a good job of hiding hey! I have nothing to report, I am working my butt off expecting inspection in school and have set up a new BTEC in Health. I am down 103lb now and train 6/7 times a week still. Ellie is 9 next month and life trundles on you know  - no textiles to report but when GCSE's end maybe I will. This is me now :

and we have had another addition - milly cat :)

Waaaa! It's my bloggyversary and I nearly didn't even notice!

I nearly missed my bloggyversary! I haven't been a good place sewing wise lately, not in the mood ? Done some bread and butter selling of buntings and bags but nothing much.

I have been dieting and exercising again, and re llost my last stone, to be at my lowest weight - 5 stone off!!!! so I thought I'd show you : (hate a post with no pics and as I have nothing to show!!!!)

Got pink hair while I am off school, going in tomorrow so preparing for the looks/bollocking!

Stripes

Been playing with laura's stripy challenges - keeping me sane since craig's op has been a tough one - about 5 days of nursing and I am glad he is partially on the mend cause I am tired!!! That coupled with wisdom tooth extraction leaves me very tired today :( anyway here they are

Developing work

So the embroidery I showed you has come on a pace since hub went to hospital and here it is now :



I am doing this for me :) I am going to mount it on canvas to have a piece of my work in my house. I was embarrassed when a friend came to my house and all the art on my walls were gifts, one tiny painted canvas of mine! So this is gonna be for me! Karyn of contemporary embroidery blog challenged me to work in whites - I managed neutrals! I am loving working on this :)

Laura's challenge

Laura has given a set string this week and after a few weeks of being under pressure at work and home it was a joy to just play yesterday :)


Here are my 2 efforts but I can see more play on this this week as I have a week off ! Might try to catch up the ones I missed.


My hubby Craig has had a mega eye op this week in London - quite far from me in Swansea, my lovely mam looked after him as he wanted things normal for our baby! Who turned 8 last Saturday! He is doing really well sight seems good already and should prolong his sight we hope.

Ellie had a ball horse riding


And check out her Katie Perry California gurls inspired cake!!


Made by me of course!!! Don't look at the joins too close!!!!!
