It's been a while since i used my creative mind to design a cross stitch patterns but i have gone into overdrive this week  My brother in Law is getting married in April so i though it would be a nice idea to make up a little cross stitch to mark the occasion. I think hand made gifts make the best prezzies and it also keeps my little hands busy. I originally started doing the cross stitching as a deterant to pulling but as i have been pull free for a while i don't need it to keep me occupied anymore. I do still enjoy doing it though. So i am gonna get to work on my wedding gift over the weekend as my thread order arrived today. I have already finished making a pattern for my mother in laws birthday prezzie and next i will work on one for my mom. That should keep me busy for a while  Paul has also asked me to make him a dinosaur bookmark....that shouldn't take me long to do so i will squeeze it in between my bigger projects.

I think i have finished re-designing the website logo. Not got round to uploading it to the site yet but again, i will squeeze it in somehow. Organising my time is not one of my strong points.

It has been a busy week for me because Paul and Caitlin have been poorly. They were both off school on Tuesday and Wednesday. I wasn't feeling too great myself those days so it was an exhausting few days. It has taken yesterday and today to recover from it.  I don't think anyone is feeling 100% today. Loads of runny noses and sore throats around. Hopefully the weekend will be a quiet one so we can all re-charge the batteries. The cross stitching will certainly help me relax and i will be encouraging the kids to use their creativity over the weekend aswell. Not that they will need much encouragement, they love craft activities.

I've had a terrible 2 days for urges. Mostly because i have felt a little run down i suspect, well that and the extra tea i have been drinking.  I plan to have an early night tonight so i can catch up on some sleep. I might even manage a nice hot bubble bath first. That always puts me in relaxation mode .

Well it's time to feed my lovely clan of children yet again

I wish you all a relaxing and peaceful weekend.

Love and peace,

Michelle
