Getting Back Into Life & Stitching...

Well, sort of, anyway!

Mr15 was discharged from hospital on Tuesday last week, after a 5-day stay... his appendix was in a bad way, so we're glad it's gone now... rotten little thing has no idea that mr15 has made it the butt of some very good humour... He is doing well now & has returned to school after a very life-changing few weeks... No sport for a little while will be a misery for me him!
*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~*
Last week, I started & almost finished another little cross stitch kit... there was not quite enough thread to finish all the backstitch, so I've picked a near-enough-will-do thread colour from my box to finish it. Pic soon.
I've also added two more brown-eyed flowers to my collection... nice & easy things to stitch while not wholly concentrating. Sorry for the terrible pics.
 Oh, don't you love my new ironing board cover?! The other one had become so tatty.
(remember our emails, Susan?!)

As usual the 'Piece Yourself Together!' linky is open for everyone to join in... from 6am 11th August, to midnight Thursday the 13th.

This week I really need to get re-booted on a couple of secret projects I've been stalled on for a while now... there IS a deadline looming & I simply can't be late... so, anyone else in my house that gets sick, sorry your Nurse is off duty, LOL!
