VALENTINES DAY

So, who celebrates Valentines Day?

Or are ya like me and think it's just an excuse for retailers to try and squeeze a buck outta ya?

We don't usually bother doing/giving anything for Valentines Day.

But... I saw something recently that I thought would be a lovely little gift for Stewie, so I got it.

It's NOT necessarily a VD gift, but I will be giving it to him today.  Cos I can.  *smiles*

When ya read this Stew, you DON'T have to get me a thing OK?  I have everything I ever wanted already.

Today I will be starting on another project ... for my Australian Order.  Once this one is done, I will have finished it!

I won't be showing these projects on the blog until they have been received by the lady who commissioned them ... which won't be till mid March.

ABOVE:  I will never tire of this view, and it can only get better with grass.

Here's a question for you:

ABOVE:  WHY does this make me smile???

And on that note... I'm off to start me day.

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  so this is what I gave Stew this morning.  It's just a little dream catcher.  I've already hung it in the sunroom.  

And now... back to me sewing.

I got the 3rd of 4 projects finished this morning, of my Australian Order.  I've decided to take a break for a day or two from the sewing studio now.

I like to tidy up my studio between projects, so I got the vacum out and cleaned it up.

Which lead to a couple of hours housework!  As happens.  Snowball effect eh?

LOL... the thread spool?  When I ran out of thread while living in Cambridge, it would take an hour long round trip to come into Hamilton to get more.

NOW it only takes me 16 minutes!   THAT is what makes me smile.
Yeah, I know about the 'secret' compartment at the end of the spool.  *smiles*

I went to WW at midday.  Gained 1 kilo, which is not at all surprising considering how much I've been eating!  But, it's not a huge gain, and with any luck (and resisting temptations), I can lose some this coming week.

BEX... NO MORE CHOCOLATE!   Don't bring it into the house, then it can't call me from the bloody fridge.  It's LOUD.

ABOVE:  There's a sneak peek at project number 3.  

Dinner tonight was a sausage and potato bake.  Very nice too.
It's been a quiet evening, spent just watching the TV and not much else.  Note:  Not seen or heard from Griffin today.  Funny, I thought he  had moved home?  He's spent one night here in almost 2 weeks.

Time to sign off for the day.
