Goodbye...

I have decided not to blog anymore.  There doesn’t seem to be any point and there are other things I could be getting on with.  To the few people who have visited me here, I would like to say thank you and goodbye.  x

Christmas Elf Fairy...

This one was finished quite a while ago, but I only framed it today.  The frame is only a Wilko’s one but I really like it.

Can’t wait for Christmas now!

Mac...

Well, we did it.  What everyone told us we should do, to ease the pain, to make us feel better, to fill the hole.  We bought a new cat.  It gives me great pleasure to introduce Mac, our new baby, pedigree British Shorthair and ridiculously cute.

He is 13 weeks old and we bought him from a lovely lady who shows his mum and dad, who are champions by the way, on Monday.  Since then the whole house and our whole lives have been taken up by this little bundle of fluff.

He has the most gorgeous personality, very loving and cuddly.  Loves to play, loves to sleep and loves to cuddle up to us.

And absolutely loves to have his tummy tickled.  I’ve never been happier.

Yesterday we said goodbye to our gorgeous, lazy, spoilt, beautiful cat, Todd.  He was 14 years old and had developed heart failure.  The house is so quiet and empty without him, and I don’t know what to do.  This photo was only taken on Sunday when we were having a cuddle.

He had got very clingy lately and now I know why.  Goodbye Todd, we really miss you. xxx

A New Me???

Today I have started The Fast Diet.  I’ve heard really encouraging things about this and a good friend of mine swears by it.  Not just for the weight loss but lots of other health benefits it can bring you.  Today is a fasting day, you fast (only taking in 500 calories) for two days a week and eat normally for the other five days.  I’m extremely overweight and I need to loose at least 4 stone to make me look anything like normal again.  This weight has crept up over the last four or five years and I managed to make myself  believe that it didn’t matter - well it does.  Seeing myself in the photos of my sister-in-law’s wedding the other week horrified, disgusted and ashamed me.  I can’t understand what my husband sees in me, why he’s still with me.  So, today is the first day of the rest of my life...

WEDDING DAY...

Today Dave’s sister, Jill married her fiancé Tony.  It was a very quite affair.  No “rowdies” present as his dad said.  Meaning people who laugh and generally enjoy themselves.   Personally I like a few rowdies, especially at a wedding.  Here’s the sampler I stitched for them.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...

Today is my in-law’s 61st (yes, 61st!) wedding anniversary.  Thought this card was apt...
