Just squeaked in ..lol :)

Hi every one :) hope your week as been less hectic than mine ... honestly you would think that things would have calmed down by now but nope  ..... as the week wore on it got worse heheheh
Soooo may be you'd better put the kettle on now all ready and waiting ..lol
I was stitching furiously at the beginning of the week and also at the finish hehehe
and in between well I was playing taxi to both DD's and taking the wee DD out around lots of houses / flats to rent to find somewhere new to live .....
If anybody has ever been through this before or going to be in the future ..... I couldn't believe some of the sights that greeted my eyes !!!!


I have got my model stitching finished :) and off in the post today on its merry way and I just squeaked in ... in getting it sent today as our Post Office closes  early doors on a Saturday ....

From this this am 

And I just squeaked in with the Romantique Sal ...... you have to send your updates to the designer before you get the next ones ..... I think its a really good way of making sure you start and finish the piece but  some months there has been a lot of stitching in the sections and this month with stitching so many other things on a deadline it was a close shave .... as the new parts come out tomorrow !!!! 
But as you can see I did it :)
On Thursday I met up again with my fellow stitcher's but at a different house and we discovered that her brother works with my DH .... this world is getting smaller ..lol

to finish this pm :0

I sat down tonight and made a very BIG effort to finally decide and choose what I wanted for my wonderful gift certificate that I won from Peggy at 

http://kentuckysampler.blogspot.com/........ and my final choice was .... mmm should I tell or should I wait and show once its arrived .. ... you want to know now ??? well I shall just pop the kettle on then I shall spill the beans heheheheh
