A treat at work the other day

and yes this probably makes me seem weird.... but this flew past our building the other day...



She is the last flying Avro Vulcan bomber - always my favourite aircraft at airshows when I was growing up. Sadly I was at work so I didn't get a picture myself.

Edited to add that I just read at the Vulcan Trust's website that I may have been witness to it's last flight ever :(

Christmas Ornament for the Exchange

Now this has been received I can publish a pic on my blog...


I stitched this for Lindsay on the Cross Stitch Crazy Board. It's by the Sweetheart Tree and it was in one of my JCS ornie mags.

What your cute monster says about you?




What Your Cute Monster Says About You



You're the type of person who stands out in a crowd, even when you're trying to blend in.

You are honest in your character and appearance. You don't pretend to be someone else.



Your inner demon is sorrow. You tend to get depressed easily.

People think you're cute because you're rebellious. Your uniqueness is charming.





Window shopping with

me... and it's a very disappointing week over at Hoffman's.. the only thing I thought remotely interesting was this


Arabesque Biscornu by Twisted Oaks Designs


There were other offerings that tempted me a little more...

Spirit of Vierlande by Long Dog Samplers


And for something completely different - Starry Night from Laura J Perrin Designs

Haven't been well again

Wednesday night i was getting intimately acquainted with a bucket (not fun) and took Thursday off work as i was still feeling queasy and didn't eat most of the day. Back at work yesterday and feeling better but still under the weather. So no stitching got done as I couldn't focus. The good news is that I've lost more weight !!! Though the method is definitely not recommended!!!
