Half way through 2026 already

Goodness me , we are half way of the new year 2026 and I haven't done a blog update ... sorry if the font is a bit off , I seem to be unable to change it ( finally fixed it) ... any way I digress , pull up a chair , grab a brew and I will begin ... 

Some of you may remember that I was having a lot of issues with my back and legs , well on the 22nd April I was operated on and for 6 weeks ( still in this period) I cannot bend, lift or twist and then for 3 months after light duties .... well for the first week it was bliss ... then my symptoms came back :( . and now I have now got an infection around the scar area  Sigh ... I go and see the Consultant Thursday to see what happens next .... on the plus side I have got lots of stitching done , some I cannot share as they are for a gift for DJ ... and because of my operation I haven't been able to drive soooo anyone's birthday's I have missed , going to miss please do mot panic as it will be an IOU ...lol .

Sooo with out further ado here are ones I can show you ... as well as gifts I made for last Christmas , which I don't think I did show you ....

Sooo there you have it ... I think all caught up with the stitching I can show you .. I have done more of Feed the Soul but no up to date photo of yet .... ok I have made you all another brew as you will be thirsty after reading all of this ... and got some cookies too for you :)

We have had the munchins over quite a lot and they are growing so fast , We got for Master B an archery set for his 6th Birthday and he loves playing with it on our field at the back, we had them the other night and had so much fun having a go .

We also have a new puppy on the block,  a wee cocker who is the munchkins new friend. He is adorabubble but all the puppy wants to do is play with Master Cooper and as Master Cooper is an old bear he is like nope ...lol but the puppy is getting better with him and not pestering him as much ...

 Right I had better finish now and get some much needed shut eye ...lol  Take care one and all and squeak to you all soon ... honest :) xx

Almost the end of 2025 - catch up

 Heloooo everyone , its Christmas eve here at the mouse house , dawn is breaking and I have a robin singing to me outside in my front garden .... beautiful ...

Its been one of those years , time has flown and before you know it , I haven't blogged in months ... between hubby being ill and off work for 3 months , my health issues too its been a busy ole year ... Hubby is loads better from that but has now come out in sympathy with me and having a few back issues ... I have to have an up to date MRI scan and depending on the results possibly having an operation on my back ...

The grandkids are fabulous and growing up so fast ... we are seeing them on Boxing Day with Great Grandma as they are going to their other Grandparents on Christmas Day ...

I have been sewing and stitching lots ...lol especially sewing gifts for my friends right before Christmas ...lol .DJ and I went for having our birthdays and Christmas in July and sending things as flat as possible ( unfully finished) to keep the post cost down and we both agreed to continue this new tradition as it gives us more time to chose what to stitch 😊

I have almost finished a crochet blanket for Miss Bobbi , was hoping to get it done by now but hey ho she will get it soon ...lol 

Let me see if I can find you photos of stuff done ... kettle has just boiled so grab yourself a brew and a mince pie or

My mum in law who is 91 and a half is having a few health issues too ,we normally are ladies who lunch and shop on a Friday but not sure when we will be resuming that at the moment ... 

My craft room needs a serious tidy up , it seems to have exploded into stuff everywhere and I am too tired or too busy to have some proper time in there to sort out so I sit and stitch ...🤣🤣🤣 I will get round to it ...lol 

I have been working on Humming of the Bees by BBD , Feliz Navidad ,Maggie Mae which I finished Monday , and started One stitch at a time ... plus gifts I cannot show yet ...one is an Easter Exchange and not sure if my partner follows me on here ... Also going through my photos realised not shown my model stitching so these are shown too ...

So until next time , take care on and all and happy stitching 😊 love mouse xxxx
