Well, I thought I'd make it official: Yes we are expecting our fourth child in September. Four kids won't be any more difficult than three because the three I already have are wonderful. I would guess that, until this all day morning sickness is gone, this blog will be a pregnancy one rather than a stitching one. But bare with me. I will be back. I have already a few things waiting to be stitched. Next week I am going to visit Mary my lovely midwife for the first time this time round. She seems to be very busy. There are 16 expecting mums before week 12 in my surgery alone! Mario is going to have another bloodtest on Friday next week. We still haven't heard from Physio which is getting silly.
Now back to hugging the loo. LOL

Well, I don't seem to be able to concentrate on anything at the moment. I just feel really queasy.

Maisie is ill yet again. It seems to be happening every other week. This time she has an eye infection. Poor girl looks like she has been in a fight.

I'm trying to finish Maisie's Winnie the Pooh cushion. I don't know. Normally it would have been finished within three days.

Kath is waiting very patiently for her Winter exchange. Fortunatly it is stitched but I don't seem to be able to put it together. Again the concentration. It's as if I can't think in a straight line. I wish I'd dare to make a pinkeep out of it but I don't want to spoil it.

Hopefully I'll be able to put in picture of both items all finished up soon. I'm sooooo pleased that I have finished all the stitching on the WWRR!

Hi everyone!



I have been very busy this morning (even though I'm full with a cold) and I have finished the last piece of the WWRR. I really can't believe it. It was so much fun stitching all these lovely things which I doubt I would have normally stitched.

The last two things were Pamela's little shoppe


and Alison's pink cow.


Mario really loved the cows. So I have had to stitch him a little ladybird one

Now after I have finished Ali's cow for the wwrr I am fighting with Pamela's little shoppe. I can't believe it: only a few more stitches and then I'll have finished the wwrr. I don't think I'll be able to another one in the next couple of months. We have a lot going on at the moment.

Oh, yes I have worked out why I am not loosing any weight on the Wii Fit plus. But I'm going to have to keep you all guessing for a little longer. I'll still will do the excercise though. Last week I only managed one day because Maisie and Mario were ill. Now I'm down with it. Don't you just wish the Winter will be over soon?

Have a wonderful weekend. (It is nearly over though)

Here is my latest finish: another Humphrey's Corner design. This one is called Baby talk. I'll soon have enough to make something out of them :-D


Well, I'm doing okay on the Wii Fit. Don't seem to be loosing any weight but at least I'm not gaining any either.

I still have to finish off the little "Let it Snow" sampler. I was going to do a cushion... but I'm not too sure yet. Cushions are really the only thing I CAN do without being too worried about showing myself up. Well, I will let you know what I'll decide.

Here is a photo of the Christmas stocking. Now comes the hard bit: how to finish it without spoiling it....
Right then. I have finally finished stitching Maisie's Christmas stocking. I'll put in a picture when the battery of my camera charged :-)

It is awful here today. Our road and Beech Road is covered in black ice and it is raining. You can imagine how difficult it is to walk on this. But we did make it to school even though it took us best part of 45 minutes (normally 20 mins) I'm dreading picking up time if that stuff is still down then. Charlotte has her last maths tuition tonight. So Maisie, Mario and me will have to hang around there somewhere. Lets hope the cafe on the main road isn't too busy.

My next stitching project will "Baby Talk" from Humphrey's corner. It reminds me of when Mario has a little chat on his red toy telephone!
