Panic!!!!!!

Daughter on the loose ....
Amy has used all her savings and bought herself a secondhand car, we collected it this morning. She's chosen a KA2 in panther black. Dad and I went with her and she drove me home. I was very impressed. She's been out with a friend for an hour and now gone off to work, her first solo trip. She's rang me to say she got there safely so i dont worry (like that will stop me). At least now i can take the 'mums taxi' sign out of my car and maybe i can be driven around like a lady LOL

Happy and safe driving Amy xx

LHN SAL Week 6

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14, yes i can count to 14 with no mistakes! Why then, when i came to take an update pic of this did it look wonky ... 4 squares at the bottom only had 13 stitches in them!!! It must be the work of the visiting froggie, he looks mighty smug and pleased with himself this afternoon. Today i've put right the mistake ready for next Friday, hope you had a better week than me Karen LOL

Needleroll reveal ...

Fast post from the UK to the US (5 days only) and i can reveal the needleroll i stitched for Katrina in the exchange at TS. I think Royal Mail must have heard me ranting about their bad service and done something about it LOL

Design - Just Nan old freebie 'Dragonfly Summer'
Fabric - Wichelt 28ct linen 'waterlily'
Thread - DMC & Mill Hill beads
I did use a different charm than the one it asks for, you can see what should have been on if you scroll down the page here

Royal Mail gets it right!

2 more bunnies have arrived with their new mummy's. Peggy (blue) arrived in the US with Karen on her birthday, perfect timing Royal Mail for a change! Irene (yellow) arrived with Brenda in the US on the same day. There is still another one out there not arrived yet and 2 more knitted in my workbasket ready to be made up this weekend - are you fed up seeing them yet LOL

DD went to the city post office to collect the letter for me. It was from my mum, she had won a Good Neighbour award and there was a pic in her local paper showing her receiving it, she wanted me to see a copy of it. She had it weighed at the post office so goodness knows who made a mistake there.

Enjoy your weekend, it's supposed to be a wet one here so guess what i'll be doing?

Rippit Rippit ...

I was stitching away like mad at the club last night then suddenly realised that i was one stitch out, i tried to undo it secretly but that didn't happen, i was spotted and awarded the 'club frog' for the week - it's given to the person who has done the most frogging in the previous week or at the club that night!! He's now at home on my citrus candle bucket in the conservatory for the next week and he better behave as i dont want any more frogging visits! I'm pleased to say the front of the surprise is all stitched, i just need to do the back and make it up so not really too much of a disaster more like a little ripple in the pond.

Postie brought me a nice surprise today, a cheque for £5 which i won in the local hospice lottery last week (so yes last week did get even better lol). He also brought me a card from Royal Mail that tells me i need to pay £1.06 for a letter that has been sent to me with 6p too little in stamps on it, and they are charging £1 for admin charges, wonder who sent that??
