Oh, What To Listen To?
I’m bored of the CDs I have in work. I’m sick of listening to the same stuff. I think at lunchtime I’m going to take my CD wallet home and have a good switch about of music.
I’ve managed to get back into my stitching and have 2 finished kits to show you pictures of which I will do later. One of them is a Humphrey’s Corner design which I framed and gave to Chris’ mum for her birthday, the other was the Winnie The Pooh ‘Group Hug’ cushion which I started so long ago but put away because I was so sick of the sight of that gold colour that you stitch Pooh in. He’s a big character and it’s a lot of gold. It can get very boring and demoralising stitching the same colour over a vast area. But when I moved into the new flat (Oh I moved house btw ;-P ) I unpacked all my stitching stuff properly and decided to give it another bash. Once I had gotten the gold out of the way it was pretty plain sailing. The hardest bit was sewing the cord to the surround of the cushion, and the whole ‘making it into a cushion’ was quite time consuming as I don’t have a sewing machine anymore. Me thinks it’s time to invest in a new one.
So they are both all finished now and it felt good to actually have finished something. I have done a few small cover kit type things from magazines too, just to get me back into the habit. I’ve now started on my Thomas Kinkade ‘Stillwater Bridge’.
It’s the first kit that I’ve had that has the design printed onto the fabric, but in all honesty, it doesn’t help with the stitching. In fact trying to follow the chart and the fabric is quite hard.
So I will upload pictures later and blog them.
Chris and I moved in together. It’s a gorgeous flat, 2 bedroom, master en-suite. We’ve got our gorgeous kitten, Meeko. I will also put a picture of him up too. He was so tiny when we got him, and now after only 3 weeks he’s looking all grown up. He’s got bags of energy and has given Chris and I a fair few good laughs with his daft behaviour.
It was my nephew Cameron’s birthday recently, so I hope he liked his presents and his visit to his grandparents. Happy birthday kid!
The migraines are still keeping themselves at bay. The feverfew has worked wonders and I’ve even managed to drop to 1 dose of 20 drops a day rather than 2 doses, and even then, I am forgetting to take it everyday so I will sometimes miss a day, but my brain hasn’t had a hissy fit about it.

Fiona!
I missed you! I can only read the Big Brother post so many times!
I love the quaintness of your writing — daft and bash are a nice touch.
It looks like you’ve been up ot a lot. I think knittings and stitchings make lovely gifts. I just like them because you know the person put a lot into them. Especially if they’re made with a particular person in mind from the get-go. Getting the scarf that went wrong isn’t as nice as someone making you one in your three favorite colors.
I wonder how much rent is over there.
Have you seen the movie About a Boy?
Best,
Chris
P. S. I’ve moved my blog to www.chrisgeek.com. I wonder if you could change your link. Oh, and tell me what you think of the banner I made!
