Baby Daisy Cross Stitch chart

A long time ago in a forum called www.spritestitch.com I was challenged to make a baby daisy pattern. 
Fast forward to the present and I get a reply from Bailey asking me for that very pattern. So I've done some digging over at sprite stitch and found it :D


Here is the link 
Just scroll down a little :D

Happy Stitching

January Musings

I've been neglecting my blog since new year, I'm so sorry, I shall have to try harder.


I have been working hard on my diet (I've lost 4 pounds during January, Yay!), but I must keep it up. I know I can do it but I've been craving naughty food all week, my will power is holding fast but just about. I've also noticed that my energy levels have risen a bit and I think this might be down to my diet. I have fish and chips last weekend (a treat for my little boy) and the day after I felt quite sluggish so I won't be doing that again any time soon.


I've also had my haircut, its really short. I've had it short before but I think this is the shortest.


I've also finished the Doctor Who scarf I made for my brother @Fr3ck5. I'll post about that next time.


Other than that I've been mostly knitting and gaming. I'm really into knitting socks right now but I'm still scared of circular knitting (I know how to, the needles are always too long though), so I've been making them on straights and there turning out nicely.


Happy Crafting

Happy New Year and My 2011 Resolution


I hope you all have a wonderful year

My New Years resolution is to go on a diet and loose some weight.
I know that resolutions are renound for only lasting a few days but I've been determined to do this all Christmas and I'm going to start as of tomorrow.
It's going to be a long journey as I can't exercise (I would rather be doing that than dieting), but I'm sure I shall prevail in my endevors.

My diet is call:

Cut the Crap Out Diet

Basically I cut out all the tempting yummy treats; biscuits, chocolates, chips, etc. and instead eat only stuff that is good for me.
I do like the healthy stuff so this shouldn't be too bad but I do get bad cravings for chocolate that I shall have to watch out for.

Are there any good healthy recipes that you can recommend?

Please post your suggestions in the comment box, I'd love to try them.

Snow Storm 2010 The Day after the Night Before!

The snow continued throughout the night and we are all snow bound now.
We've made snow castles with our buckets and spades and I've dug a path so I can get the bin out to the bin men on Monday (wishful thinking).


Here are some snowy pictures:







Happy Holidays Everyone

Here in the UK there's a storm coming in from the Artic and we're getting snow all over the place, including my little place. Here's a picture as of 10 mins ago. It's still snowing.
