Just to update you on my job search - it seems that I've put the stitching to the back ground and got stuck into application forms!

And today I found out that I got an interview for one of them!

Happy Stitching!

Page 4 is Finished!!!

Well after the month I've had, I've finally finished page 4!

So here it is:

Hope you like it.  So page 5 here I come, however with me being busy applying for jobs etc it may not be as quick progress as I'd like.

Also I'm starting a little business Arty Sam - not even had time to finish my blog for it yet that's how busy I've been!  I will post here to let you know when it's up and running!

Happy stitching!

I'm back!

Well it's been a hectic September! I was made redundant and my last day was yesterday and had to prioirtise Baby Friends (below) for a colleague - she loved it and I really enjoyed stitching all the detail and even the french knots!

I also did this piece of charity stitching as a square on a quilt.  It's a child's drawing converted to cross stitch.

So what next I hear you ask! Well going to be putting in lots of hours doing Curl Up and hopefully catch up this month in between looking for new jobs.  I will also be making Christmas cards to take around to friends and hopefully sell some!  also going to look into starting some new crafts too!

Updates will be coming more quickly now I'm a lady of leisure or housewife!  Oh and will also be making lots of cakes and cooking in general - I love to cook but never seem to have time!

Could life be more cruel to me?

well after everything - the MS and all that brings only to finally get a grip of my life and then being put at risk. I have 30 days and 2 of the 3 managers must go... all I can think of is how do I get a job where there are no jobs for the fit andf able let alone those with a disability.

The only thing I can think of to chear me up is that I have enough crafty stash to keep me going for a while. I created this department from scratch just to be thrown out with the dishwater. writing this blog cos can't stand to be around anyone. Even though I should be with my team to help them. How selfish of me.

Happy Stitching xx

Q:How excited can you be about an elbow???

Answer: Very!

Did loads of stitching yesterday and really enjoyed the fact that the dragon is making his full appearance since the begining of the year!  The hand that I've just done today was full of confetti, but enjoyed it just the same.

I also thought I'd sharte with you some of the other things I've been getting up to:

This was a leaving card for one of my team - she's gone doon suth! Not the most complicated card I've done, but I just loved the card and rub on combo with a butterfly I had in my stash!

Well gotta go - Durham CCC on TV - hope they win!

Nearly the weekend!

Well, it's been a long one, but at least my MS has calmed down now, I'm going to take myself upstairs and stitch Curl Up to my heart's content and then I'll have another update pic for you all at the weekend!
Happy Stitching!

Stitchy bug has come back!

Well it's been a while, but after my loss of charts I felt that I didn't want to stitch!

Good news the bug is back and Curl Up starting to take shape:

I haven't taken off the frame as it's a pain to get it all nice and tight again.  Am really looking forward to seeing the dragon appear (you can just see his elbow at the point I'm up to.

Happy Stitching!
