Sorry all, I've not been neglecting you I've just been lacking somewhat in energy and enthusiasm the last day or so. I've perked up a bit today so I'll catch you up on things...The prom was very nice. The year 11's all looked smart in their sharp suits and fancy frocks - didn't take any photos. They all seemed to enjoy themselves, which was the main thing. The drinks however were ridiculously expensive! £9 for a glass of wine, the staff couldn't afford to get drunk! ;)
Saturday I also got a hair cut as I was starting to resemble a Lego man. While in town I couldn't resist the John Lewis sale and went straight to the haberdashery bit to rummage through the bargain wool. Got 4 balls of Rowan All Seasons Cotton and a lonely green ball of baby cashmerino. Such lovely colours....I may have to sneak back after work one day before J gets home to get more supplies! I'm not even very good at knitting, I just like looking at it and squishing it! I must have over 30 balls of brand new wool in my craft room now, ones that I've bought because I liked the colour or it was on sale!
Sunday we were going to go to Ryton Garden as we haven't been all year, but on the way the sky greyed over so we made a quick change to the plan and went to Ikea instead! Bought some napkins and other bits and bobs, but mainly some fabric!!!!
I've had a busy weekend with sewing. I made Katy a 'Science Nerd' brooch for her daughter - hopefully it arrived today! And I made the new earth softie and he's now on his way to America. Today I sold the last of the amoeba brooches in my Etsy shop so I've had to make a few more! The green one is in the shop now and the others will be added this week along with the rest of the science nerd brooches!
Phew....That's almost all. I just have to say congratulations to my littlest sis who got her degree results today.......she got a 2:2! YAY! Well done Pob! Now go and get a job! ;)
