lots of goodies

it's so nice when the postie comes and brings you parcels that surprise you, thats just what happened today, he thought it was my birthday LOL

I got the Cats Whiskers ~ Peacock Stitching Chair (DH bought me that for our wedding anniversary and valentines) and my monthly club of Finca Perle from Jaynes Attic, in this parcel was a freebie design from Carol Tinson at Heirloom Embroideries, it's called Darling Buds and is very pretty

I won a competiton that Brenda at TSBB held at Christmas for one of her TOPS, she mailed it out at the beginning of January but it never arrived, she kindly made me another one to replace it and i was releived that it arrived today, thank you Brenda it is wonderful and i will treasure it

Joann has sent the tuck for the spring exchange at TSBB so i need to find a nice chart to stitch for that and get that in the mail to my exchange partner

and a lovely surprise from a special friend for my wedding anniversary (that was 19th Feb) she sent me the Dolly Mamas kit 'go braless, it pulls the wrinkles out of your face' and a cute L*K chart, thank you Kathy that was a really lovely surprise and DH loves the Dolly Mama's he nearly choked on his breakfast !!!!

Stitching club tonight, i'll be taking the JN 12 Days with me, have almost finished Day 6 and then it will go away for a while so i can concentrate on Month 2 of the SALs and of course begin the little hardanger SAL @ JABB

What kind of rocker are you???

You Are a Glam Rocker!

You put the "show" in rock show with your larger than life self. No doubt, you are all about making good music... But what really gets you going is having an over the top show. Glitter, costumes, and wild hair are your thing - with some rock thrown in!

What Kind of Rocker Are You?

well i was a young girl in the 70's so i half expected this one, i'm a big T Rex and Marc Bolan fan

i'm normal !!!!

according to this quiz i found on another blog i am LOL

You Are a Fortune Cookie

You're a rather normal person, except that you have extraordinary luck in life. People want to be around you (even when they're a little sick of you), in hopes of being lucky too!

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

becoming an art critic

I went to the local museum yesterday, they are showing the Rolf Harris portrait of the Queen which he painted to celebrate her 80th Birthday. It's touring the country for everyone to see. What did i think to it? it was lovely, and great to see his work only 2 feeet away and not behind a glass screen. I sat for quite a while studying it (looking for any mistakes really LOL) and discussed it with others who were looking, one lady thought the teeth were a bit strange, I thought they were fine but her middle finger looked a bit crooked and a bit too long (sorry Rolf!) If it comes to a museum near you it's well worth a visit to see it
As you can see i've continued with the next day on the JN 12 Days. I decided as i'm up to date with my goals for February, and March is looming next week, the fun will begin again with the 2nd part of the Loopylou Hollyberry SAL, the 2nd part of the Mystery Huswif SAL, hardanger SAL beginning at JABB and the easter tuck exchange at TSBB, it's going to be a busy month .... who am i trying to kid ... i love this design and can't resist carrying on with it, Leo can wait a while !! Helen if you click on the link in stitching plans it will take you to the JN site to see the chart

getting ahead of my stitching plans

only 4 ladies at the stitchy club last night, everyone else was away sick, i did miss catching up with them and hearing about their week, but as we did less chatting and a lot more stitching, i got Day 3 finished on the JN, that was supposed to be March's goal !! It really is a lovely chart to stitch, if you have been thinking about getting it i would highly recommend it, the colours are stunning and look no where near as bright in the picture as they really are.

I've been to my yoga class again this afternoon, it was closed last week for the half term break, didn't realise how much i'd missed it, but now i'm all 'chilled out and de-stressed' and ready to face what the world throws at me .... wonder how long that'll last LOL

Thanks to everyone who reads my blog and leaves comments, i do appreciate it and like to read your opinions. Take care and Happy Stitching
