Craft Plans

MsWalsh1 Comment

I have decided that for next year (2009) I am only going to do 2 cross-stitch projects.  Like my reading I’m a slow stitcher so I’m not going to put any pressure on myself.

I’m going to get something from this page:

Dimersions Cross Stitch Company

And I’m going to give this a go:

Cirque Des Cercles

Actually I’ve a notion about what I’m going to do with the one just above so we will have to wait and see.

I don’t know what I’m going to do about crochet for next year – no doubt it all depends on what’s happening and patterns I come across.
However I do plan to complete my collection of Brittany Hooks.  They are absolutely gorgeous and I’ve 4 already.

Anyway them are the plans and we’ll see where we get with them.  Right now I’m making a hat so I’d better go and finish it.

Driving Test No.1

MsWalshLeave a comment

I know that this is supposed to be the place that makes me smile etc but I thought I’d put this in just as a memory anyway.  This morning I failed my driving test – hence the no.1 in the title.  I’ve applied to do it again so we’ll see.  I seemed to do ok all the way through until an incident with a mini-roundabout and a jeep type thing put the mockers on the whole thing.

I think I had my hopes built up that I would pass – as Dad had said I should pass if there aren’t any incidences or if my nerves didn’t get the better of me – well we had incident 😛

Next time however I really will be only telling himself and whoever is coming over with me.

So yes I’m disappointed but what harm – I had a lovely day lying on the sofa watching daytime TV and movies.

Seasons

I don’t know if it is just because I was slightly more awake this morning and noticed or if this is the first day but it was still dark this morning when I got up.

I am a Winter person but I do start to get that feeling when I see Autumn setting in.  Spring with all of its new growth doesn’t do as much for me and Summer – well if we go away then it’s a welcome change but at home it’s pretty much the same – wet but slightly warmer.

Actually that was something I noticed about our holiday to Paris – I’d move there at the drop of a hat but I think I’d miss the cool weather – in saying that I don’t know what Parisian Winter weather is like.  I know it’s odd but I like the miserable and cold weather.  I’m not sure if it’s the feeling of being safe and cosy indoors while nature is venting itself or what.

Ok it seems that I’m not that much awake as my head is still full of groggy thinking – I’d better go and freshen up before work.

Nice Niece

MsWalshLeave a comment

Well we went to see her the day before we went away and we’ve been to see her since we’ve come back and she is a little doll!

She was asleep when we arrived out so we got to see her in her cot – when Kay took back the blanket there she was asleep rolled over on her side with her little legs tucked up – she had on these little socks that made it look as if she had little shoes on – just totally adorable.

Later on her dad appeared with her in his arms claiming that she was waking up – not too sure about that but I gladly went along and therefore got the following pictures:

I have to admit I’m absolutely mad about her and so proud of my sister!

A brief – what I’ve been up to…

MsWalshLeave a comment

Sorry for not posting in a while. The smallest of brief summaries with something a bit more in depth over the next few days.

* Small bout of slight depression which was the main cause for length of time I’ve been absent.

* My one and only niece was born on 20/08/08

* Holidays in Paris – how glorious?!?!  since the 26th August.

It’s not too much but I’ll have updates on the events of Niece & Paree.
