I have been diligently working away on a few things over the last few days but nothing finished yet. I have the day to myself today so after a quick trip to town I plan on getting creative so hopefully today will to the day of finishes.

In the meantime I have recently been tagged by Melinda, Tracey and Leah to share 8 random things about me.

1. I love walking in the rain

2. I really detest doing the ironing.

3. My favourite TV program is the Ghost Whisperer.

4. I try as stay in bed as late as possible on a weekday, so rarely have time for breakfast.

5. My eyes are a funny grey colour, sometimes they look more blue and other green.

6. I really don't like my nose

7. I love Pizza!!

8. Even though it's been three years since she died, I still religiously watch my Mum's favourite TV show, I figure if she is anywhere watching me then the least I can do is make sue she keeps up with the show :)

And just because I don't like to post without a picture here is a snap of some lovely silk threads I purchased in a bargain bundle off Ebay recently.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Seven things about me

Jacqui has tagged me to share 7 things that people might not know about me so here goes.

• My favourite books from childhood are the Mr Men. On my 21st birthday Mark got my name published in the Mr Men magazine amongst all of the birthday wishes for all the little kiddies, lol!
• I used to play the clarinet
• I am very clumsy and when we're out walking I invariably managed to trip up, twist my ankle, fall down a hill, slip over and get covered in mud, the list goes on ....
• I have a very weak bladder and wherever we go I always end up needing the loo. Mark thinks I should write a guide to the best and worst public toilets in Britain :)
• I accidentally caused the death of my pet Guinea Pig, Woody, when I was a kid. My brother and I spent ages arguing over whose turn it was to put the pigs out and they overheated. The vets managed to save my brother and sisters animal but mine had a weak heart and didn't make it. 20 years later I still feel really guilty about it.
• In another freak accident when we were kids I managed to chop off my sisters little toe (don't ask!) The doctors stitched it back on but it never grew since so she has one freaky 7 year olds toe on her 25 year old body (hmm maybe that's where my phobia of feet comes from!)
• If I ever ended up on death row my last meal request would be cheese and baked beans on toast followed by chocolate cheesecake, yummy the perfect meal!

I am supposed to tag 5 people but I have seen this on many of the blogs that I read already so I'm going to say that if you are reading this and haven't yet taken part well c'mon dish the dirt and share your 7 things!

On the creative front, I still haven't gotten very far with my TIF project this month. If I've any hope of getting in finished in the next few days I think I will be burning the midnight oil. I have though ticked off one thing from my to do list.

This cross stitch really is so easy to pick up in the car at lunchtime for 20 mins on while watching TV and before you know it another kitty is born.
I can't believe there are still 6 more of these critters to emerge before the kit is done.

I've been tagged

I can't believe how fast time is disappearing at the moment it's been well over a week since I've blogged...

I've been tagged by my wonderful friend Vi, to write something about myself for each letter of my name so here goes

A - Adventurous, I love to try out new things or go new places. Even a walk down a well trodden path can be an adventure as you never know who you might might or what you might see.

N - Nice, well at least I hope so. I like to think that others see me as a nice person, I try and be as helpful and kind to others as I can.

G - (good looking, lol ok so one can dream!) Generous, I'm happy to donate my time to others and if I have money in my pocket I'd much rather treat friends and family than spend on myself.

E - Eager, to learn new things and seek out new experiences.

L - Lustful - ok now I don't mean in the X rated sense, I mean in the sense that when it comes to crafts and creative things I'm always wanting new toys to play with, sadly my budget is not as limitless as my lust!

A - Always grateful that I have been blessed with a wonderful family and many great friends.

Ok so now I have to tag a few people. I've never done this before, so am not really sure who likes to play along with these. I'm going to tag Helen, Terri, Kate, Ali and Melinda, but don't worry if you ladies don't want to play I won't be offended.
