Off walking tonight again


Managed to get out last night, but just round the doors.

Well along the bumpy pavements up and down :) I don't think you appreciate how uneven they are until you are pushing a wheelchair. I got the outleg and maimie got the home run , think we will definitely stick to drumpellier, its flat!!!!!!

Work was constant today , got some good products thought to show tomorrow when i am on the big white birdie down to London.

Off to go walkies.

In search of my stitching mojo


If anyone has seen it please send it back :) Haven't stitched since before Christmas , and there is so much stuff I want to do. Working full time , I am so tired at night time by the time the boys are in bed

Started walking again last night, had mum in the wheelchair doing our nature walk round Drumpellier Loch with Maimey. Saw ducks, swans and cynets they were so tiny. Might go again tonight before the rain comes


Note to self remember take camera !!!

What to do with kids in the Easter holiday


when it's raining go to the cinema. Now when Kyle was a little younger this wasn't easy , he would get bored really quickly. So we decided he was a little older so he should be fine. Now what to see , Nanny McPhee or How to train your dragon.

So of we went to The Vue cinema in Hamilton, only to find out that they were showing How to train your dragon in 3D. The boys had never seen a 3D film so we decided to go to see this



















WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!

From the minute you put the specs on it was awesomw, you jumped when things flew out the screen , you amazed at the detail of seeing each blade of grass and most importantly , I loved that Kyle held my hand for most the film so I could protect him from the falling ash or flying dragons. He sat the whole time , result !

Sabina's Square

Here's my square for Jaynes Quilts for Breast Cancer, for Sabina

I hope she likes it i will post a picture when the quilt has been finished by Jayne, who is making this one.


Mothers day gifts

A little late i know but i have just worked out how to download the pictures from the phone lol :)

Starting with me , I got a cat mug and coaster set , flowers, and a cat ornament , can you tell i like cats :)

Here is Tux investigating.

Also got the Lady GaGa CD, quite catchy.

Now for my mum , I hadn't a clue what to get for her this year Christmas , birthday and Mothers day in the space of 3 months. I ended up with a "Natures Angel" lovely ornament , holding a dove. One of those wee cards about mums and guardian angels. It talked about everytime you see a white feather it lets you know your guardian angel is watching over you. So of course had to find a white feather, courtesy of the feather cushions in the couch. :) Do you know how hard it is to get a feather from a cushion when you want one, way harder than when you don't let me tell you. Then finally i baked a cake , Mum is finding foods hard to taste at the moment , so we plumped for carrot and orange cake , with orange drizzle , mmmmmm i have to say it was so moist , even dad tried it!
