Introducing..........

My baby boy! He's noisy, tiring, demanding, never stops crying and yet he's everything i wanted....


We named him BOLT, Don't ask me why his daddy liked the name so i said OK because we'd already been though 100 others, plus the other hundred we went through trying to figure out a name for his sister, who has a new home with my BF's dad. We were actually looking for a border collie for his dads 50Th birthday prezzie but i fell i love with this little guy so ray bought me him!

His sister is named bonnie after about a week and a half of having no name and being called puppy! no pictures of her as yet, because she never sits still!


Bolt, on the other hand seems to sleep more than anything else! I swear he actually believes he's a baby! We've had him two weeks now and he's already learnt where he can and can not pee, and so stop and the road side when told! lol (can you tell that he has taken over my life?)


However there is one bonus to a dog that likes to sleep during the day, just not at night, i get some time to stitch between the walks, toilet runs and general amusement! lol

This is sleepy pooh bear and piglet all done and dusted, now i just have to find the perfect fabric to go with it. I like the star print with it but I'm not sure.

And one last pic just because its cute and its one of my two favourite guys lol. i don't know who is the biggest softie!

Pooh!

I haven't been up to much lately mostly just working and trying my hardest to get rid of this bleeding cold! I'm just sick of it now lol! In between working and sleeping i have done a little stitching on a new project for my BF's niece and nephew.
Two blankets one blue, one pink and knowing how long it takes me to get myself in gear im going to make these big enough for toddlers even though their currently only 6 months old lol.

I Know, I Know, Im late but do have a good reason one very cute little baby girl pulled a few of my laptop keyboard keys off and i've had to have it fixed lol.
I would like to say that both steph and linda will receive a gift for taking part in my "tell me why" lol thank you ladies i loved what you both wrote!


Linda: One of the many reasons I love my children(even though they are going through the teen years! LOL) is because of what they have taught me! They have taught me unconditional love! They have taught me the power of words! They have taught me the power of actions! They have taught me it is okay to be ME! They have taught me how far my patience can go! They have taught me to laugh till I cried or wet my pants! They have taught me to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid!). They have taught me too see the world through their eyes! THey have taught me what it really means to be happy! They have taught me that it's okay I am crazy! They have taught me to live! They have taught me... More than I could ever thank them for!!Thank you... I needed that reminder! :).

Steph:Because my Mom is selfless and there's no other love like hers. My Dad because he's such a free spirit and is what every man should strive to become. My sisters because they are my very Best friends. My In-laws because I could not have married into a better family. My Husband because we have nothing in common, are complete opposites, but love each other like we are the only two in the planet. As you see, I am very blessed.

So if you could both send me your snail mail addresses that would be great! :D Email is xx_sammyjo_xx@hotmail.com


On to other pretty little things, these are just some of the treasures i bought at the fair in london, even though it wasn't what i epected it was still fun and i loved spending the time with nan!

This is Woodland Enchantress from The Gold Collection it was origanally £40 buti got this one for £29.99 which isn't too bad plus it meant that i could get another one!
This one is Ambiance Chinoise from Royal Paris, I got this for £20 and i really love this one!!

I cant wait to finish the projects i have on the go so that i can start these :D

OK so I've been like the worst blogger in the world but i promise I'm going to make it up to you

all. I wanna know why you love a certain person in your life, it can be anyone, mother, daughter, son, Nana, husband, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, dad, sister, brother or friend. (get it) any reason in the world. I'm gonna give you three weeks to enter meaning this ends on 10th of march. when i get back from my trip to London i will pick my favourite and that person will receive a gift bought from the arts and crafts show that i just happen to have tickets to lol (cant wait!!)picture taken by curlgirl1 on flicker




I'll start by telling you why i love....well....my hole family, its mostly because their dysfunctional, crazy and all we do day in day out is wind each other up. its are way of showing just how much we love each other. Secondly i love my Darling BF because he get this and fits in so well with are existence there is not one thing a would change about both my family and my boyfriend, not one! although if i could get them to surprise me with chocolate more often that would be a nice change :D hehe

Several things that i love about cross stitch

*I love the excited feeling you get when you first start a new piece.

*Watching a design come to life on the fabric

*The endless possibilities for a finished cross stitch

*Being able to alter the design to put a little more you in it

*The different colours and textures

*Finishing a design and knowing that every minute you've put into it was worth it!
