Bad blogger!

Well I have been a bad blogger, and that is not good! Sorry!

What have I been doing since June 9th? Well, I joint a new local scrapbooking club, which was fun and great to get back into! I now attend that every third Tuesday of the month! I have now done 2 more layouts for my SIL’s wedding album so that is coming on nicely, almost finished. Just 2 more layouts to be done. So that will be a WIP for 2007 done!

I bought two wonderful new carry bags for my scrapbooking stuff as well, which are great, well chuffed with them. Will have to take pictures and post later! So spent yesterday sorting them all out! Still too much stuff to fit in them though!

Knitting, well the Forest Canopy had to be frogged a bit due to lack of concentration, so have not picked it up since. it was only 1 repeat but it was frogging, no matter how much! I must get back into it as I really want to get it finished!

I am in a knitted dishcloth swop and that is great. I am about 3/4 of the way through, and it is looking great. I am loving the colour. It is due to get posted on the 14th July.

Cozy shrug is coming on nicely and is easy to knit, did another repeat of it last night. It is growing well but it does use loads of yarn! Just as well I bought 10 balls at the start!

Socks, hmmmm not done much more as I have been doing my dishcloth! However the dishcloth should be finished tonight so then it is back to them!

What else has been going on that is not craft related! Well I went to Taverham Garden Centre a few weekends back for lunch. It was lovely. Took about 1hr 30min to get there and only stayed about an hour as had to get back home to visit MIL. It was lovely while I was there!

Hubbie and I went and watch We Will Rock You on Saturday. Our local Co-Op Juniors put it on it Ipswich and it was great. The storyline as a bit c**p, and the singing was not the best but it was good! We really enjoyed it!

Yesterday I went to a card making and scrapbooking show that was local. It was not great but it was alright. I got some bargains so that is always a good thing!

Wedding update – how you ask as it has been! Well we have been working on our album from our photographer. We had to select just 150 from all he took for it, which was hard! We have finally done that and am waiting for the draft to come through to approve. It then gets sent to New Zealand and gets produced. Really looking forward to having it back!

Well life gets a busy from here on in, till end of Sept, which is great! Not sure how much blogging I will get done but I will certainly try!

Oh and I have started a walk / jog program! I go out 3 times a week and do walk / jog and so far so good! Really enjoying it!

Well I think I have rabbited on a bit much, so still next post, bye bye.

Mid August already

Well last posted at the beginning of August and we are already half way through, where does the time go?

Si’s sister got married on the 5th and it was a lovely day and evening! She looked stunning and everything went really well. Lets hope mine runs as smoothly!

So I am currently full steam ahead in the wedding planning department, making sure everything is sorted and we are doing pretty well!

Went to a scrapbook crop on the 12th Aug, had a great day, met some lovely ladies and I am so going to enjoy going again! I managed to do 4 8×8 layouts and I am really happy with them, will post some pictures at some point.

Not done any cross stitch for a while, seem to have lost the bug, I do hope it returns soon!

My mom is having an operation on her knee on the 24th August to remove some cartlidge, she goes in in the afternoon and will be out the following day. Then on the Friday when she gets out we are off to Centre Parcs for the bank holiday weekend. Am really looking forward to that. Going with my parents, brother and Si, so it should be great fun!

Well I must press on, will post some piccies later, hopefully.

Bye bye

Been ages since last post

Well it has been ages since I last posted and for that I apologise! So what have I been upto……………

20th – 24th July, Si and I went to Lake Windermere for a long weekend. It was fantastic, we had great weather and the B&B where we stayed was just lovely. We did quite a bit of sight seeing as well as chilling out. I got to see alot of craft shops which was great, and that has spured me on to do some more scrapbooking! So that was a lovely break.

I am going to my first crop (scrapbooking) in ages on the 12th Aug, am really looking forward to it as I have wanted to join this crop for ages and never been able to get in and now a space has become free and it is mine! So that is a all day thing and I am really looking forward to it!

I have been told that I am no longer to horse ride anymore, which I am gutted about as I loved it. But due to my last fall, my neck is very weak and if I have another nasty fall, who knows the outcome so rather be safe than sorry. I guess!!!!

So I had a squash lesson instead on Friday, which was great fun, really enjoyed it and a wonderful workout!

Last weekend was manic, I decided I wanted to buy a writing bureau and they are so expensive, anyway I found one in the paper for £50! Bargain!!! So I bought it and spent the weekend sorting out my office/study and it is looking really good now! I was very sore on Sunday and Monday!

We have Si’s sisters wedding this weekend which should be great. We have the pre wedding dinner tomorrow and then the big day on Saturday. I got the framed sampler back yesterday and will post a picture on here later. It looks lovely!

Not sure what else has happened since I last posted, so will end off here and will add pictures later of my bureau and cross stitches!

Take care
