Oh my it has been such a long time since I updated everyone here.<div><br></div><div>To say the last few years has been hectic is an understatement. </div><div><br></div><div>I finally finished my accounting and Finance degree with a 2:2. I'm officially a partly qualified accountant. 🎉🎉🎉</div><div><br></div><div>In amongst all of this, my father in law had to move in with us in Feb 2019 as he was too unwell to look after himself, sadly he passed in June 2019. We are all thankful that he could spend his last few months with family just how he wanted.</div><div><br></div><div>I am also running 2 online businesses, Universal Gold and Thriftiness. This takes up a lot of my time lately as I've been building the websites from the ground up. The Thriftiness website is finished but I'm still working on the Universal Gold website. </div><div><br></div><div>We also bought our first home in December 2019 so have been getting settled and sorted in the new place. It's so nice being able to look at any room in the house and know we can do whatever we want to it without needing permission. </div><div><br></div><div>And now finally, we have the lock down. On the one hand it is very awkward knowing we can't just pop to the shops for random bits, but on the other hand it has given us lots of time on our hands to get things done in the garden, especially whilst we have this lovely weather. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Evening to everyone who is still around following me. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It has been a very long time since I've made any updates whatsoever on this blog and for good reason. The course I started back in September 2015 has quite simply taken over my life LOL. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've not managed much if any stitching at all since that time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm currently mid way through my exams, only 2 left (law and finance) and then I'm on break until I start again in September!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Boy am I looking forward to having this break. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am looking forward to being able to pick up my stitching again once I've finished the exams, and I hope to make some good progress on my WIP's. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until after the exams</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
xXx</div>

Good Morning all!!<br />
<br />
I am still around, but not much stitching has been done at all over the last few months, and now that I am studying full time, I doubt I'm going to be doing much at all for a good while longer.<br />
<br />
This course is rather fun, but very technical and so have to get a grasp on all the different subjects.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will get some stitching done in between, even if it is only on small items.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />
xXx</div>

Over a month since I last posted!! (Lots of pics)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Good Evening to you all!!<br />
<br />
I cannot believe it has been over a month since I last posted on here, and I'm sad to say, since I've got any serious stitching done!!<br />
<br />
We have been rather busy though with hubby doing his final exams and then getting things sorted for graduation, etc.<br />
<br />
As you probably know from previous posts, hubby was in the process of studying for his law degree. Well, in May he took all his exams and received his results 2 days before his birthday in June. He achieved his dream of getting an LLB in Law with First Class Honours!!<br />
<br />
I cannot express how absolutely thrilled I am for him, he has been studying/reading law since before we got together 10 years ago!<br />
<br />
Last week was the graduation ceremony, and oh boy was it a long day. The smallest bug stayed at Grandad's house for the day (he couldn't travel to the graduation due to age/health) so he volunteered to look after the little one with his neighbour.<br />
<br />
The graduation ceremony was due to start at 4pm, so we arrived 2 hours early to collect the cap and gown and so that I could snap a few pics.<br />

As his dad couldn't make the graduation ceremony, but wanted to have pics with hubby in his gown, we decided to have a photo shoot at his house. Here are some pics from them (to note: I did not wear this particular dress on the day - it was currently drying when we did these photo's)<br />

Needless to say, it has been a very exciting month or so and my plans tonight are to get some stitching in whilst hubby is out fishing. Fingers crossed my little bug lets me do that haha.<br />

Good Morning everyone!!<br />
<br />
Today marks the first day back to school after half term, I can't believe how fast time is going this year. It won't be long and we will be on the big summer holidays and then my son starts junior school, and I start University!!<br />
<br />
Don't you just wish that time would just slow down sometimes?!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo's...I have almost got a page finish with SK Home Is Where The Magic Is, I literally have about 10 stitches left haha.<br />
<br />
Here is how it is looking right now:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Unfortunately, all those 10 stitches are different colours lol.<br />
<br />
With a bit of luck, I will get those few stitches complete and I can then start the next page :)<br />
<br />
In other news, I finally found some matting sheets perfect for my fairies (when they are all completed). I bought 4 sets of double mats, the outer sheet is cream, whilst the inside is gold. I think it will set them all off perfectly :)<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

On Friday afternoon, I finally managed to get myself a page finish. For some reason I had a few stitches which were confetti like and they seemed to take absolutely forever to get done lol.<br />
<br />
Here is how it looks:<br />

Good Evening to you all!! I have been absent for the last few days as I haven't really got any stitching done at all. Most of my time has been spent with hubby since he finished his last exam on Friday.<br />
<br />
Today has been the first day since then that I have done any stitching and thought I'd do a quick update before getting back to it.<br />
<br />
Here is how Home Is Where The Magic Is looks now:<br />

Good Evening to you all!!<br />
<br />
Today has been an awful day weather wise, we've had nothing but rain since around 6am. I am hoping that tomorrow is going to be a drier day lol.<br />
<br />
I hope you have all been keeping well and being very creative.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping that once hubby has done his last exam (tomorrow morning), I will have a bit more time to stitch and maybe have a page completion. I'm still working away on Home Is Where The Magic Is and I have to say I love all the different shades of blue/purple it has.<br />
<br />
Here is how it is looking now before I do some more on it tonight and over the weekend.<br />

This week marks the start of exams for hubby, he has two this week and then another two over the next 2 weeks. He is looking forward to being past all this revision. It is his last year in University now and hopefully if he passes his exams he will walk away with a degree in Law.<br />
<br />
For the last few days I've been stitching on my new HAED start called Home is Where the Magic is by Spangler. It is a story keep, so is only a few pages long.<br />
<br />
Here is how it is currently looking:<br />

This is just two colours almost done on the first page. With a bit of luck, I can get a bit more done on this tonight before having to put it away.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good Morning to you all!! I hope you all had a great weekend and that lots of productive crafting was achieved.<br />
<br />
Over the last few days I have been working on my Joan Elliott Mystery Faces SAL and trying to get caught up. I'm glad to say that I am slowly getting there with it, but as yet, I am still undecided whether I want to stitch the charts for the little squares or not.<br />
<br />
Here is my progress over the last few days and how it currently looks right now.<br />

Good Evening to you all!! I hope you have all had a productive weekend, I haven't really as I've been busy trying to cheer up the little one who has chicken pox.<br />
<br />
On the plus side of the chicken pox..it is now going away HOORRAYYYYY!!!! I will be so glad when this is done and dusted as I have literally had enough of germs haha.<br />
<br />
I have come up with a few pieces that I need to get done before I start university in September and with a bit of luck and more than 5 minutes I can achieve just that.<br />
<br />
The projects I am hoping to complete are:<br />
<br />
Spring Fairy and the Joan Elliott Mystery Faces SAL that is on Facebook. That will then leave me with 2 smaller projects and 3 HAED's on the go LOL. (OK, one HAED is a story keep so is much smaller).<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will have another update for you at some point this week so until next time I hope you have a very crafty Sunday evening and week.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good Afternoon to you all!! Isn't this weather we are having lovely? I for one am enjoying not being so cold all the time haha. <br />
<br />
I hope you are having a better week than I am at the moment.<br />
<br />
The chicken pox virus currently has us in its grasp and now both my daughters have it, and needless to say they are itching like crazy.<br />
<br />
My littlest daughter doesn't look too impressed that I had to cover her with calamine lotion today as can be seen here:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I can't even run the brush through her hair at the moment due to her having them all on her scalp too.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I will be glad when all this is over as I haven't had a great deal of sleep lately with them all being up and down throughout the night with fevers and itching.<br />
<br />
I have managed a little bit of stitching since my last update, but it isn't much as I've been on cuddle duty and school run for my little boy.<br />
<br />
Here is how Spring Fairy is looking at the moment:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hope you are all having a productive week, even in this sunshine we are having here is South Wales lately.<br />
<br />
Until next time (when hopefully all the chicken pox will have gone away!)<br />

Good Evening to you all!!<br />
<br />
I am here again with another update on Spring Fairy. I seem to have caught the bug to finish her although the stitching has been spotty on some days due to my son having caught the chicken pox.....it has been a very germ high Easter break this year lol.<br />
<br />
He is now on the mend thanks to lots of calamine lotion and an antihistamine medicine to help the itching and help him sleep.<br />
<br />
I am now 3/4 of the way done with Spring Fairy, which for me is the third of the set of 4. I am now working away on the last page of her, and all I will have to do at the end is the beading.<br />
<br />
Here is how she is looking now:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With a bit of luck I will hopefully have a finish very soon. It will be my first finish for a long long while.<br />
<br />
Until next time.<br />

Good Afternoon to you all. I hope you are all keeping well and crafting away.<br />
<br />
This week for me has been awful, the kids decided to bring home the gift of a stomach bug that went round 3 of us within the space of 3 days, thankfully my oldest daughter and husband didn't catch it, but oh boy...I'm hoping it has gone for good now.<br />
<br />
I have been stitching away on my Joan Elliott Spring Fairy for the last few days, and I'm almost done with the third page. Here is how she is looking at the moment before I do more a bit later on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As the chart is spread over 4 pages, I've been completing the back stitch as I finish a page. All beading will be left until the end so that way I can't break the beads lol.<br />
<br />
Hopefully tonight will see the completion of her skirt and I can start the backstitch and move on to the next page.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good Evening to you all.<br />
<br />
It has been a wonderful, sunny and warm day today in the South of Wales, makes a nice change to the cold.<br />
<br />
As my title suggests, there are going to be some big changes coming to my household starting from September.<br />
<br />
As I am nearing my 30th birthday, I thought it about time I got my life sorted and going in the direction I wanted it to instead of going day by day, so.....I applied to University and took up driving lessons.<br />
<br />
I found out yesterday that my application to attend a 'brick uni' was accepted and I start full time in September WOOP WOOP!! I will be studying Finance and Accounting while the hubby takes care of the kids and studies for his masters.<br />
<br />
I'm also currently taking driving lessons, but so far I am only a few weeks into that and so the nerves are still quite high.<br />
<br />
In between all this madness, I have managed to do some stitching and I'm getting ever closer to having my long term WIP finished. Here are the update pictures:<br />

Good Evening to you all!!<br />
<br />
I know...it has been a while since my last post.....again.<br />
<br />
For some reason lately, even though I have been stitching, I have basically made zero progress on anything.<br />
<br />
I did however purchase 2 new charts from HAED when they had their sale last time round. I bought 2 story keeps:<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
I have made a start on Home is Where the Magic Is, but as yet it is basically just a dark blob LOL.<br />
<br />
I may pull out Moon Goddess again and do more on her. Fingers crossed I can get back into it again and get out of this little ditch I'm in with the stitching.<br />
<br />
Hope you are all keeping warm and well.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good Morning to you all.<br />
<br />
It is rather chilly out there this morning, and whilst on the school run, we had a few flakes of snow....nothing really to write home about though, but I sure wish we'd get a huge downfall so my little one can have some fun in it (she's never seen snow before).<br />
<br />
Whilst it has been cold, other than the usual housework, I have been nestling under the blanket on the sofa with my stitching. I've been working on Spring Fairy and the Joan Elliott SAL. It has been a long time since I've stitched on Spring Fairy, and I think it is about time she got finished.<br />
<br />
Here are how both projects are currently looking:<br />

I am planning on finishing the skin on the above fairy today and hopefully completing her, minus beads, all of which will be added at the end so I can't break them with my frame.<br />
<br />
Until next time, I hope you all keep warm and safe.<br />

Good Afternoon all.<br />
<br />
I've been having a glance at my blog and it would seem that I need to knuckle down with these projects lol.<br />
<br />
I have had the same projects on the go for years now (obviously my HAED's are going to take time) but I really should start to have some finishes, especially as I have soooo many things on my to stitch list.<br />
<br />
I'm going to continue with what I'm working on at the moment which is my Joan Elliott Mystery Faces SAL she is hosting on facebook, then I think I'm going to have to pull out my 12 days and try and get that done.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to have an updated pic on the JE Mystery SAL soon as I'm working on the last 2 faces.<br />
<br />
Until next time.<br />

Good morning to you all. I hope you are having a great day so far. As my post says I do have a page finish.<br />

Good Evening to you all.<br />
<br />
I am afraid to say that I do not have much progress to show you this week so far as I've only been picking up a needle now and then....my bug is slowly disappearing again for some reason.<br />
<br />
When I have wanted to stitch I have started to make some ornaments for some little ones that I know so they can hang them on their mummy's (grandma's) Christmas tree this year.<br />
<br />
Here is a little bit of progress as of last night.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As per usual, the design is by Joan Elliott as I think her little ornaments are just brilliant. Hopefully when I next update it will be finished and another started.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good Morning to you all.<br />
<br />
It has been a rather dull grey start to the day here today and only now is the sun starting to show up :) I thought I would post a little update on the stitching front as late.<br />
<br />
I've mostly worked on Wings in Repose HAED by Nene Thomas and I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Here is how that is looking today:<br />

The majority of colours left in this page are light so I can only work on these during the day as I can't really see them in the evening without a lamp. I may invest in a new one for my birthday in 2 weeks time LOL.<br />
<br />
I have also been working on the Joan Elliott Faces SAL that I am taking part in on Facebook.<br />
<br />
Here is the progress on that:<br />

Face one complete except for the beads which will all be added at the end so not to crush them in the Q-Snap and the start on Face two. There is a little kitty cat to go in the middle box, but I want to change the colours to all grey in remembrance of my cat Murphy who went missing 18months ago.<br />

I am going to carry on stitching the second face today as the light is not that great yet, I will hopefully have more updates for you all soon.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

Good evening to you all.<br />
<br />
My course is now over an done with, I took the exam last Wednesday and so fingers crossed I do not have to resit it.<br />
<br />
I haven't been able to fully settle down yet after the stress of revision and so on and for that reason I only picked up my stitching properly today. I've decided that for the time being while waiting for my stitchy bug to flood back in to work on a HAED. Also hoping my eyes adjust to the little holes again too.<br />
<br />
I will hopefully have an update on all things stitchy in the next few days or so.<br />
<br />
I am so glad that it's ore and I have time for me again.<br />
<br />
I hope you are all well.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />

I don't think I've done too bad in between submitting assignments :) Here's to hoping now that my brain can absorb and remember information so I can pass this exam and get back to my stitching.<br />

Until next time<br />
