YES I CAN DO IT TO, ACTUALLY USE TO DO IT ALL THE TIME AS A KID

THEY ARE STILL STANDING

UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE

ONE OF MY CATS FLOSSY WITH OUR KITTEN BUBBLES

MY WEEKLY SAL UNDATE

Well i took the kids yesterday into the city of Malaga to see the Christmas lights, we had an absolute fab day first had a walking round the shops then went to see the movie planet 51 kids thought it was great Molly had to keep nudgeing me to wake me up !!! Then we went ice stakeing which is my favorite even Demspey pluck up the courage and by the end of the hour he was going great guns and lots of laughter had by all. The only down side of the day was i went to switch my phone on after the movie all to find that my keypad there was an orange shop round the corner so i went it and she pulled the to pieces only to tell me that it was full of something sticky...upon which my kids piped up and said that that would be the lucozade they had accidently splitted in it a few weeks ago !!!! The buggers had cleaned round the outside of the phone but had negleted to tell me what had happened so hence the liquid inside had started to corrod everything...so new phone required i was very lucky cause i had enough points to get one of them touch nokia phones and changed all my phone contract round to be able to access internet and also lower the cost of my phone bills, so in the end it was great but not telling the kids that they are still in the dog house.

As for my SAL i am going great on it, hopeing i will be able to do a bit of it this week before Christmas but do have a busy week what with work Drs appointment for the shoulder
and collecting school reports end of term Christmas do which is on Tuesday, wrapping presents and finally enjoying Christmas.

WISHING ALL MY FRIENDS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

End of Term and Molly's Graduation

Well as most of you know Molly's past her graduation it was a proud day for all and boxes of tissues required.

MOLLY'S GRADUATION PHOTO

THE GRADUATION CARD I MADE

BROTHER AND SISTER BEFORE THE SHOWS

Here are some photos from the shows my kids done...Dempsey was a penguin out of Mary Poppins and to be honest he is ADHD and so hyperactive i was actually very proud of him cause he remembered all his steps and actually behaved and it also goes to show that kids who have ADHD are a lot cleverer and smarter than we think his actual school grades first year in primary rate between 8 out of 10 and 10 out of 10....giving him a Grade A... so am very happy.

PENGUIN DEMPSEY

DEMPSEY COUNTING HIS STEPS

Molly done a dance to the song Mamma Mia and then after that those who past their grades got their graduation photos and certificates... it was just so emotional everyone in tears boy's, girl's, mums and dads, granny's and grandads...she also past with a A grade for all her school work and exams i must admit i was a bit worried cause after Christmas she had began to drop in her grades but she has bought herself up with flying colours...

THE DANCE...

THE NERVES WAITING THE RESULTS.....

COLLECTING HER GRAGUATION

THE DID I REALLY PASS LOOK....


AND THE TEARS WHEN REALLITY SET IN

By now you have all grabbed a tissue from the box....So enough of me burbling on..enjoy the photos.

Kids are off to Tenerife this Friday with their Grandfather for 6 to 8 weeks....never let them stay away for more than a night at a friends house so this could be interesting !!!!

Finshed Stitch along and new project

Finally 6 months later and 43200 stitches i finished my TOY EMPORIUM..which i did enjoy but boy was it hard work but with great friends from the blog http://2009stepbystepstitchalong.blogspot.com/ that i do it on it really makes a difference thanks ladies for all your support.

So umm now what do i do with myself well i have chosen a small project this time it's called "As far as we go " from the AOY collection (All our yesterdays)...Shellie my sweetest friend has got me addicted to this collection...

Ok off to post above the end of school show photos and Molly's Graduation.

WHAT MUMS DO..

Still suffering from migrains this week think it's something to do with the wacky weird weather we have been having one day backing hot the next cloudy and freezing.

Anyway have been very productive this week in my spare time...lol...which seems to get sorter each time as the busy tourisum season is starting and my work it getting manic will be like this now till the end of october.
I hadn't posted my SAL update this week as i really wanted to get it finished by this weekend and post my gran finale but don't think i'm not going to make my dead line so going to post where i'm up to now, as i've been doing another project see below for the past two days and tomorrow i'm going out in the evening to take the kids to the spanish feria...we have it once a year and it last's for a week where there is a big fair ground in town and parties, dancing, drinkies and lots of eating goes all day and night, all the little girls and boys dress up in special clothes, the Spanish only work a few hours a day during this week including the banks, which was a pain this morning when i found it already shut by 12 noon !!!! and the kids get 4 days off come this thursday !!!!

This is the little project i was working on two days it took me, a Mr Koala for my boy Demspey, as you all know last week Shellie kindly sent me Mr. Penguin to make for my daughter, theses are ready to sew soft toys' well my little boy went nutty wanting a home made teddy so of course i had to Ebay and get another kit. So here's Dempsey's and his home made Koala, he showed the school security guard when i picked him up and the guard has just called me saying i know that this might be a bit cheeky but i don't suppose you could make me one for a friend of mine....OMG...i now have to go back onto Ebay and order some more kits as my mother also wants one....

Also my kids are prepareing for their end of school shows which takes place on the 19th of this month, Dempsey is playing a penguin out of a scene from Mary Poppins so as i am on the PTA committy i was kindly nominated to make some bit for the stage scenary !!!!! And Molly is doing a part out of the movie Mamma Mia as of yet i have not been asked to make anything lets pray it will stay that way....

Haven't taken update photos of kitties this week who will be 8 weeks this wednesday or off puppy Marley but i'll get some done alone with photos from th fair tomorrow night.

Big huggies everyone xxxx

CATCH UP

Wow been trying to find 5 minutes for days to catch up on my blog every time i sit down and do it i get way laid and end up somewhere on cyber space.

Well i finally got two whole days off at the weekend and spent it down the beach it was brilliant, sun, sea and fresh air, the kids had a whale of a time and Molly took her friend and Dempsey actually asked a little boy if he would like to play with him so that took care of him for the day too..hehe...so there i was on the sunbed with a little cross stitch kit (flower blooms) in one hand and a glass of tinto verano (translated as summer red- which is red wine and 7up) in the other hand absolute bliss, but isn't it amazing how doing nothing really tires you out !!!

Ummm well what else has happened this week, i gave the kitties away to their new owners, Malibu (the little white one) went to my friend Emma's who is so proud of him she's been showing him off and taking him around town in a little pouch !! And the other kitty who i did'nt have a home for, the one i had nick named Orphan annie was taken by a friend of my daughters, the Mother was looking to get her daughter a kitten for her birthday and i was ear wigging into her convesation at the school gates so offered her one of my litter and she came round the same night and actually chose Orphan Annie, so a sweet happy ending...so i have now been able to bring Lulu (mummy cat) up stairs where she belongs along with the two kitties i am keeping...Bubbles and Harry or could be a Harrieta still can't tell !!


BUBBLES & HARRY

Anyway they are all doing great and enjoying the space of my whole house instead of being in the spare room downstairs at mums.

They are rather cheeky i must admit and have already worked out how to climb up on the bed they will be 7 weeks old tomorrow.

Puppy marley is also being a good boy as the weather has hit hot tempretures here i have started to leave him at home while i go to work he enjoys playing with my mums dog so we are leaving them together downstairs, my two dogs have just not bonded with him i guess cause they are oldish and set in their ways.

Also won another AOY (All our yesterdays) Cross stitch kits on ebay...POPPY FIELDS it arrived yesterday. Don't forget ladies if any of you would like a copy of any of my charts or all of them please let me know as i have now bought a printer/scanner all in one and can either email them off to you or stick them in the post.

MY SAL UPDATE...

Am really hoping to get this totally finshed within 2 weeks, mind saying that i haven't done any for 3 days, better get my needle moving before i get put under the naughty chair with the naughty hat !!!

Right off to put my P-Jams on and relax in front of the telly and do my stitching,

Enjoy life, it's to short to wear a frown xxx

P.S Ignore any spelling mistakes spell checks not working !!!

DO YOU THINK MARLEY'S HEAD IS WEIRD

LOL ok so you are wondering if i've been on the booze but my whole family are making me paranoid, they are saying that puppy Marley's head is deformed we've only just noticed it this weekend so i know that a few of my treasured cyber friends have cocker spaniels so was hoping you could have a little looking and see if he looks normal, i have had lots of dogs in my life but never a cocker and don't want my vet to look at me as if i've lost my marbles, if i ask if her has he got a big head...lol....he'll be 5 months next week. I know not the best of photos but the little bugger has just found he's puppy power...........

MR. PENGUIN COMPLETED

Right now that did'nt take long just over an hour, here is Mr. Penguin in his full glory, i made him for my daughter who's a penguin freak, so i am besto mummy for the day !!!!

Thanks again Shell for sending him my way.

Love T xxxx
