Harry Potter Tag

I got tagged the other week by Liz over at Travel in Retrospect to do this. Her post on it is here. And I was happy because, I mean, I NEVER turn down an opportunity to talk about harry potter so obviously here it is....   What house are you in? Slytherin. When I was…

Personality or Circumstance? (The one where I take the same test twice)

I was reading through the blogs on my dash the other day, as you do, and Sarah over at A Life Less Physical had a very interesting post about changes due to chronic illness (click on the linky to go read it). Her post was about taking a test that determined the best work situation…

Another mini finish

I have another small finish to show you all! I'm really quite enjoying having small projects on the go whilst I'm doing a large project, it's great to have some finished along the way. The Ravenclaw pin cushion that I had started for the last update is now done. Here it is fully stitched: I'm…

Amazingly I have managed to squeeze in some stitching around Christmas. I've manly been going back and adding back stitching (there's a lot of it!) and details which means it…

Cross Stitch Pin Cushion

I have done more stitching than last month but not as much as I wanted. Life got in the way and by that I mean making dozens of Christmas cards takes up a lot of time and energy! I started on the lovely Christmas ornament kit that Claire sent me as part of her giveaway.…

Hello everyone, time for another update on my current cross stitch project. I'm actually traveling this weekend so this is a queued post but I'll tell you more about it when I'm back. For now back to the update. This is what I had to show last time. I was hoping to get the whole…

Butterbeers on me!

  It was my 23rd birthday on Saturday and, after having had to rest and do nothing all week in an attempt to not be too ill to enjoy it, I had a great day. Mum had made me some amazing nutella pastries that we had for lunch (fresh out the oven and lovely and warm).…
