Sun , Sea , Sand and Stitching :)

Hi every one :)  coooo I didn't realise until I checked when my last post was, that it is two weeks since last I squeaked .... blimey you had better get that kettle on with a large mug and something yummy to eat along with it heheheheh ....
soooo the time has flown as we have been having lots of fun around the mouse house ....
Firstly there was the jubilee weekend where I sat and stitched the next few parts on my Dawn of Spring SAL :) Part four went out on Sunday and they are all looking gorgeous :)


then on Jubilee Tuesday that week DH and I escaped to the country with Master Bentley to take him paddling  .... we went to Hutton le Hole , were we spent many a weekend taking over the museum there when we were in the Sealed Knot many years ago ..... the weather was fine but a bit cold and once Bentley got used to the stream he loved it  and it was funny watching him paddle ..... we had a wander around the village and went to look at the craft shops and found the perfect one for every one ...... (just wait until you see the photo ;)


Wednesday I had a happy dance as I finished DJ's picture whoop whoop and it is now on its way to her on a wing and a prayer :) I decided as I was on a roll on finishing things I got out my cut and snip scissor fob from the Needle and thread LHN chart and proceeded to make a good inroad into it ..... some time around 11.30 pm that night I realised I should have been doing the SAL with Sally  eeeekkkkkk .... I tried to put some stitches into it the next day but I felt sooooo guilty it wasn't done on the right day I couldn't continue !!!!!! will show the photo of my effort ..lol


swiftly moving on with another cuppa .....
 I decided it was time to get March's cottage finished by CCN .... well I stitched and I stitched at the weekend  and boy .....for a small piece 5 x5 it certainly took ages to do but was worth it in the end as I finished and started April's just as June's dropped through my door ....lol. so that is a little bit further on phew :)
this Monday I made a card for June as it was her birthday the next day and I am pleased to say that it turned up on time .... I am in the middle of stitching her something so that her birthday lasts that wee bit longer ;) she does know this btw ..lol and while I was on a roll did the floss toss for Pappilions Around the world in eighty stitches .....  and that's as far as I got hahahah


and on Tuesday (this is the sun , sea and sand bit ..lol) DH DD2 Master Bentley and I drove to Sunny Blackpool to go and spend the day with my Dad so that he got to see Mr B and also my new car ..lol  I drove there and the traffic although heavy was steady away and we got there exactly on time according to the sat nav :)
Bentley wowed my dad with his good behaviour and his cute ways ;) We took him for a walk on the sands and got him to see the sea for the first time .... while he loved the sand the sea was a different matter ...lol he didn't want anything to do with the wet stuff ..... DH while walking and watching the dog took a slight graceful fall into a hole that some one had dug and then Mr B decided to make it that wee bit bigger  .. he came out covered in sand but with a grin on his face ..lol
Dad treated us to some ice cream from Notriannies ice cream parlour on the front ... sooo I had to take photos to show you YUMMMMMMM .... we had a walk down the prom and went into the South Pier amusements and spent the princely sum of £1.00 on the two penny machines  and had lots of fun with them .....  out side there was a doughnut booth and I couldn't resist getting some hot sugary doughnuts to share with you all .... I took some photos of them being cooked too :)


We had a lovely day and got back quite late ... I switched on the comp to see what every one had been up too and found out ...... I had won Belinda's of Blue Ribbon Designs fame , competition on FB..... WOOOOO HOOOOOOO :) 
ooooo did this mouse do a happy wiggle as the charts I had won were all ones I hadn't got too ..... 


I was still beaming the next day when the postie brought me my goodies I had ordered from Karen at http://www.wasatchneedlecraft.com/ in her sale ... the Family Sampler LHN and February stockings BBD ....
and then the phone rang and I got invited to an interview on Monday for an admin assistant  soooo fingers crossed third time lucky :) 
ooo also got my results from the xray .... no acute injury to the bone .....:)
well you had better get another cuppa while you browse through the photos .....
