Long long time no post!!!

Hi peeps!

OMG so much has gone on since I last posted here...where do I start? Well Jack and I are no more (for various reasons) we split up in November just gone and I moved out into my own little flat in the December as I was living with Jack's Mum. I love my little flat. It's ace. Has a garage and everything & in such a nice location too. Here's a wee picture -

I've also got a new car <3>

I also have a fishtank (tropical) with 5 baby tetra and 1 baby catfish (pleccy) in it so far. I'm really getting settled in :0) I love having my own little place. Again please see photos below -

(This is my tank whilst it was 'settling' before any fish were added.)

This is my catfish or pleccy as they can be known. He's called Delap and he's ace. So docile and pleasant - the Tetra's just swim around him and he's not bothered by anything. Just chills a lot of the time.

I also have a new boyfriend called Tom who I've been seeing for a little while now, he's such a sweetheart and treats me like an absolute princess. No day is boring with my Tom. We do loads of things together such as snowboarding (wheee!), going to Chester Zoo, he surprises me with flowers all the time, he booked a surprise meal for Valentine's Day - I could go on and on but I wont. Just letting you know I'm all happy and may have found 'the one' eee! Hehe. Here's a sweet picture of the two of us -


Needless to say I haven't been crafting much lately. Although now I feel settled in my environment I have been working on my HAED the past couple of days and have put just under 1000 stitches in in the past couple of nights. I've been working on the massive blocks of black and navy that are around the edge of the piece. I reckon probably 100/200 more stitches and I've got one page completed. Just a reminder...I am working on this -


That's it really. Just a bit of an update on my life. Going well so far. Hope to be back with an 'update' photo of my HAED when I complete that first page!!! ;0)
I'll write again soon...

Long long time no post...

It has been ages since I have posted. Lots has gone on since then. I have stitched quite a bit more on my HAED Moon Glow, completed a free kit, made a few decoupage cards and stitched Winnie the Pooh for a baby sampler!

I am out of work at the moment due to my previous area manager not treating me as well as I think I could've been treated. She preferred my supervisor in my eyes and my supervisor got extra training days and went to stock takes etc that I did not even get invited to or consulted about. Things would be organised without me being considered and I would not find out about things until the day - for example I would expect to be working the day with my supervisor and I'd get in to find another one of my staff members there to work etc...ALSO I was put through meetings up to a disciplinary hearing about cash handling and banking (of which I did nothing wrong) I appealed against this and got the outcome (which was a verbal warning) overturned. So I left there on June the 5th and have been applying to various jobs since then with NO luck.I am hoping that this situation changes asap!!! Although in the mean time I have been doing odd bits of craft work (as detailed above...) please see pictures below - I hope you like them...

Long time no post...

I've been rather busy recently. I have just moved (well beginning of Feb) up to Stoke on Trent to be with my boyfriend and to start a new job. I am now manager of a 'The Works' store in a local garden centre. We sell books, art and craft stuff, stationery, kids books & toys etc... it is great and I love it. Although not much time to do any stitching or catch up online. However the other day we got a wireless router so I can be on my laptop again - so more time to catch up with the things I do online, yay!!!

My HAED has progressed a little bit since I last posted - here are some photos - here is a photo as it looked on 18th January!
This one is a little bit closer -
This photo is how it looks now (taken on the 18th of March) -
And here we have yet another photo which is a bit closer -
Here (just as a reminder) is what Moon Glow will look like when she is completed -
I hope that anybody looking really likes my progress - it is not coming on quite as fast as I would like but a lot of changes have taken part in my life over the past couple of months so I have to cut myself some slack really =0)
