Happy New Year & Im Back!!

Good Evening All

A big Happy New Year from me...Hope you all

had a lovely Christmas..can't believe the first week

of January is over already.

Tuesday was back to work & school for us...and OMG thank god

its the weekend....lol

Can't wait for a lie in tomo....lol

Was hoping for a snowy day today in work/school

We had a load of snow thou the nite and then around 6.00am

this morning it started to rain and washed all the snow away

or just made it in to slush...Boo Hoo...so it was off to school/work

we went....lol

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas...we were lucky enough

not to have any germs in the house over Xmas...i think we had

ours lending up to Xmas...which was lucky.

We were suppose of finished for Xmas on the 17th....but due to bad snow

we broke up on the 16th...lucky the kids already had Xmas parties,

concerts,pantomime trips...so a extra day off for the Xmas hols it was!

On the 20th Dec..my sis-in-law went in to hospital to be induced,but

things wasn't happening down below...and then finally

had the baby on Wednesday 22nd Dec by Csection and she

was allowed home with baby Xmas eve.

And here he is..my baby nephew Cameron,isn't he lush!!

This was taken on boxing day up my parents house

where there was 16 of us for boxing day lunch...you know

chips,cold meat,pickles...yummy!!!

Here are some of my Xmas pressies.....

My Fist attempt at free hand embroidery..and after

reading this fab book by Poppy Treffy...i just had to have a go.

I think this is ok for my first try....

My Lovely mum bought Kirstie for me
and what a lovely book..just wish there
was more projects in there.



And look what my gorgeous hubby got me
A new sewing machine...and its the best.
Its so easy to use..its quiet..so i can now sew in the evenings
while kids in bed and hubby watching TV...with out him moaning
about the noise....lol




Its got loads of stitches it can do...you can drop
the feed dog down for free hand motion(what i done
for the cupcake above)its got a zip foot,button foot.
It took me the day after boxing day to have a go..was to scared
at first...but i was so itching to make something..esp using the zip foot
i made a zipped purse(will add pic's soon)which has become
an addiction to me....making zipped purses...lol
But now Ive run out of zips....lol
Also had the usuall things...Pj's,slippers,smellies,
chocolates...loads...lol

Anyway enough of me...I would like to welcome my new
followers....and say a big Hello to anyone
that has popped by to have a nosy...from the birthday swap.
I put my name down to join up in the birthday swap
and i so can't wait to start sending out my first birthday card and gift.

So a Big Happy New New Year
I hope 2011 is going to be a good one for all of us.
I'm hoping to sell my makes online.....more on that again!

So if I'm not back over the weekend..I wish you
all a lovely weekend what ever your doing!
