What no blogging!!

You must think I am leading a very exciting busy life - not really the case I'm afraid. In general on work days life is very boring in our household - neither of us really feel like doing much after a day at work hence nothing interesting to blog about!!

The end of last week was more exciting - I got to play in Sarah's new craft room. It is gorgeous and so different to the outhouse I saw a few months back. I think I made a new friend in Amy too. Thanks for a great day Sarah:D

Prior to having Amy's assistance I managed to make this card for the lady who works in Russ' office. She has had an operation on her knee and Russ being the cheeky blighter he is wanted to send her a pirate with a peg leg and crutch!!!! That was my challenge so I headed to my faithful Nitwit collections and Kay Miller Designs. Kay had a fab pirate kit and nitwits had an ouchie kit with all medical/accident related bits edit the crutch from one it and the lady pirate from the other and hey presto you have a peg-legged pirate on a crutch!!

The weekend was spent at my Parents house. Russ was stripping wallpaper and I was revisiting Knitting after many many years (around 25 I think!!!!!). My friend is expecting twins at any time and I have decided to knit them each a cardigan. You should have seen me on thursday afternoon trying to remember how to cast on and trying to understand online instructions!!! In the end I found out that I had cast on backwards!!!!!!!! My Mum showed me how she used to cast on when I went there on saturday and it was much easier- Mum's are always the best teachers aren't they!!!

Mum called to let me know she had a ride in an ambulance today!! After a few hours and quite a few tests in A&E (including one ECG that registered her as dead when she clearly wasn't as only my dear Mum can!!!) she was released and she was sounding well when she rang me.

Well I am going on a course tomorrow linked to my volunteering so I guess I should be thinking about calling it a day!!!
