I HATE being sick! I have had a headache and general achiness for the last 2 days… can still function but I’m sooooo tired!

I couldn’t even concentrate on stitching…… instead I have been doing something I have been putting off for ages… unpicking projects so I can reuse the fabric…. I had a couple that I didn’t end up finishing……. fairy moon, cause the fabric was too small, and waiting for ships…. cause I wanted to do it on a different colour……… I can’t believe how many hours I have now spent unpicking :)

Does anyone know if it is possible to get rid of the stitching marks? Maybe washing the fabric? They are both hand dyeds from Countrystitch…….

Guess What?!! I got the job!! Went back today for a second interview (feeling crap) and got it!!! I start tomorrow!!!! YAY! That will make life more interesting.

And what would a post be without mention of Mike?! LOL He is good….. He loves me :)

Thanks everyone for your comments :)

What is this you may ask?

March 28, 2006

This is my latest badness….. Spring Queen after 2 hours…….. I have sorted out a new rotation LOL lets see if I stick to this one :)

Week 1 Mirabilia
Week 2 L&L
Week 3 Passione Ricamo
Week 4 Other

My theory is that as I get to each group I can pick which one I want to do from each designer….. we’ll see how it goes LOL

This week I am doing Mirabilia and I need treasures and big beads and Krenick for Mermaids of the Deep Blue (which is what I wanted to work on so, as usual I indulged myself and started a new one)

My job interview went well….. I think that I pretty much have the job if I want it :) I need to ring on Thursday and let them know how I got on reading through the paperwork.

I am feeling very happy, contented and peaceful at the moment…. I believe Mike will come home earlier than expected so heres praying that is so :)

I am thinking of working out a work project too, just ornies or something little :)

Hope you all are well :)

Things are going

March 27, 2006

pretty well :)

I got a phone call today from a supermarket about a job interview tomorrow… at 10:30, I am a bit nervous, but if I don’t get it, I don’t get it…. I might not want it anyway LOL it is only 21 hours a week, but with Craigs child support and family support I will be better off than I am now anyway :)

Things with Mike are the same… I have kind of reached a numb phase… which is good, as I couldn’t continue on the way that I was. I hear from him everyday… but its just not enough.

I have still been working on The Teacher, but I must be feeling better as I am thinking of moving onto something else LOl Either that or my low concentration span has come back LOL

The Teacher is looking good though :)

Not much else to say….. life has been pretty ho hum

I love her designs… I want all the fairies and any more princesses that come out :) The new release coming soon The Night… looks intruiging :) I am starting Winter Beauty Princess soon….. maybe I will put the teacher down for awhile no that I am feeling so much better and move back to my rotation… I really should!

Bye for now :)

I have posted out some job application forms with my C.V I will keep on looking around and sending my C.V into any place thatI can think of that might be worthwhile :) Hoping hopinghoping… things are looking really sad with my bank account at the moment :( Hopefully it will be a quick job hunt

below for a picture of the Teacher this is at 10 hours!! Either she is growing really fast or my needle caught fire!??!!

Life is continuting on :) I still miss Mike a lot and cry every day… which I hate, cause I don’t usually cry…. but at least I am now not crying ALL day!!

I wish he would come home… but I have to leave that up to him… which I find really hard as I am used to ordering the events around myself and being in charge LOL

Tarissa had the sleep over for her birthday last night….. 5 pre-teen slightly catty girls…. yay! NOT!! LOL At 2.30 am I came out and got them to go to sleep finally… they had woken us all several times by then.

Wade had stayed at school for a sleep over for the famine, and Christian got invited to the Barnes house for the night at the last minute, so that made it easier… 2 of the girls are staying on till tomorrow morning…. I must have lost my mind!!

Today Elle woke up and said…..”I 3 now!!” and she was right…. today is her 3rd birthday… where has that time gone?!! She is having a joint afternoon tea with my cousins son today as he is 3 today too :) She enjoyed opening her presents…… my house looks like a bomb exploded in it…. with all the stuff in the girls room and the lounge from the sleepover…. Be glad it isn’t your house!!! LOL

Well thats it from me…. I’m going to continue on with the teacher for awhile since she is being so nice to me :)

The Teacher is

March 15, 2006

looking really good :) I have now stitched on her for 7 hours. I will post a picture when I get to 10. I really like her.

The kids and I and my Mum went out to dinner tonight at Janet and Phillips house. It was a very nice evening.

Tarissa and Wade have swimming sports tomorrow. I don’t know if either of them will enjoy it as neither of them are very good swimmers…. but it will be good for them anyway…

Wade has decided not to play soccer this year and he is going to continue on with his double bass lessons instead…..

Christian is his usual same old self….

Gabrielle is still a little sweetie, we missed kindy this afternoon, but I have a plan of action now so I will move on with it :)

Hope you are all well!
