Delightful.

I've been slack in so many areas of my life, from general looking after myself, physically and mentally, to crafting, to job hunting...generally looking out for myself. So to find myself finishing off a project that was about to go on for months, at the rate I am currently working on was an utter delight. It took a bit of working out in the end, in order to achieve the right look, but I am rather pleased with it. Now that I have it done I am keen to get on with pulling my finger out and getting on with things. Work has been testing for me lately, no idea why, it's not exactly taxing, but I feel slightly trapped, and I just want out. I want to be where I feel I should be in my career. I know I am not alone, and I will get where I want to be, (where ever that maybe) just mean waiting a little more.

Patience, isn't my strong point.

Side note has anyone, Brits mainly, worked overseas, USA? How did you go about it, it's a dream of mine that has taken a back seat in order to be realistic, to work overseas. I just still don't have a clue how to go about it. So thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Anyway, back to what everyone that follows this blog wants to see, more stitchery...behold...

It's a bit special this clock, isn't it! Available for purchase today.

I end this brief blog, because frankly desperate need of a cuppa and a yum-yum, with something I found in amongst a pile of oddities that never were finished, it was a patch I think I had destined to adorn a tea cosy naturally hasn't made it that far, now I am toying with the idea of doing it. However, I'm sure I could use it on something else, thoughts appreciated? Of course I could mount in a hoop frame and make an instant bit of artwork for a kitchen, or attached it to a canvas bag...but I don't know sure I could do it better justice.

Happy Moo-Tard Day

Ginger Bread Loaf

Yep, it's not Mothers Day in our house, mum doesn't like being called Mother, so me and my sister call her Mootard, not sure why, and where it came from, but it's sort of stuck.

So Happy Mothers/Moo-Tard Day!

Been a while..

Yes it's been awhile since I've picked up a needle and did some sewing. It feels good, though as per usual I do find myself getting easily distracted. Story of my life.

This picture may not show an awful lot, and may not quite show you what I am doing, or working towards. It is however, another clock, the circles will be markers to points on the time, except of course the mint colour is slightly more for decoration....Crazy circle kick.

<- However, this shot gives you a slightly better idea of what I am considering doing. And as I edit this post I have now only two more circles to do, and whilst it may be ticking towards midnight I might just go and finish them. Then wrap up something I got for my mum for Mother's Day, I know I didn't make anything, I could and should have, but I didn't. I don't feel bad though, because it's dark chocolate and I know this will be good. I did however did colour in her ad-hoc card, which isn't a card...it's actually a colouring in book page, which I then wrote on, after colouring it in, of course. =D

Yay for silliness, and frankly my mum expects no less from me.
