Craft Cafe

Haven't really been upto much this week just helping out at the post office getting it ready to open :) and stitching on the sarah kay design i started. I have desided that im not going to start anything new untill i've finished atleast half of the projects i already have on the go! :) Have a nice week everyone :) SJ

OK not all distractions but this one I'm sure you will all love ........ And lastly....................yummy This little distraction is inspired by a comment i got of Rosie from Hope Holistics , she was reading through my blog and got distracted by last years MR Christmas contest :) some of you will remember that (and yes there will be another one this year, more on that at a later date). Ok distraction over.....................................................................now, lol i would like to thank Ginnie, Rosie, Laura, sally and Glenna for your good luck wishes for my interview that was last weekend, however i did not get the job which to my surprise i am happy about because i don't think that i was ready to move so far away from home and leave behind my family and friends and most of all my guinnie pig skittles :). it was a good weekend and i made some memorable friends. I also learned that when your starving after two days of eating nearly nothing harib...

I knew there was something i had to do! lol sorry for the long pause, its just i haven't really had that much time to post or even stitch for that matter!. I've been helping my friend move homes, getting ready for my trip to wales (more about that in a minute) and generally freaking out! It feels like I've lost a week somewhere along the line but cant think how! Oh well there is nothing i can do about it now;) Right first of all I'll explain the trip to wales, its for a job interview and it last all weekend from the 12th till the 14th, i have to travel all the way to wales for the interview and them on the Sunday I'll find out if i get the job! if i do i say for an extra weeks training and then i come home to collect my stuff ready to move to which ever center i get placed in. The job will be an activities instructor with a firm called kingswood, where we do everything from climbing to archery with kids. I've been waiting nearly a hole year to apply for this and...

Well as most of you know its only four whole months away from Christmas and if your anything like me you'll have a list a mile long of the things you wanna make for it, so what better time to get started than now :) These are just a few bits I've been playing with, the two above are going to be Christmas cards and this below is either going to be a blanket or a wall hanging i haven't decide which yet :) Also this week i turned 18 which was quite fun :) i didn't do anything major just hung out with my family and got some really great presents :) Including my Super Junior album that arrived just after! I was so happy when this came though the post from Korea :) yeahy! I also got this really cute money box and snow globe from the Beatrix potter collection, and lots of other gifts too! I fell in love with this the moment i saw it :)

Hey everyone thank you so much for all your kind wishes :) I got my results for my A-Levels on Tuesday, and after refusing to open them at first, i found that i passed all four in classics, history, religion and general studies :) I'm really pleased and i thank you all again for wishing me well :D Now i know i promised something crafty in this post but i can show you what I've been up to just yet as my mum might see it and then it would be ruined. As soon as its done and given to her I'll finally let you see what I've been doing other than reading :D Oh yes and i also received an award from sally Thank you sally I'm glad you like my blog so much :) i love reading your comments! and i thank you for all your support :) The rules are: 1.

*EDIT--- Ok the title to this should now be totally and completely freaking out now, god i feel so sick this worse than the GCSE result wait two years ago! Good luck every one and if you would like join me in prays tonight lol* After spending a really great week in Blackpool with my family, a trip that i had planed to miss until 10 minutes before they left on Saturday morning. I'm now safely back at home biting my finger nails, pulling my hair out and maybe getting just over 3 hours sleep due to being completely freaked about getting my a-level results in four days time! This is it the moment of truth and i really don't want to open that envelope on Thursday, maybe I'll just leave it closed for the rest of time :) But then the not knowing would kill me. Now as i said before i had an unexpected trip to Blackpool this week, which for the most part was really quite fun! i took over 190 pictures of are trip but the really memorable part of the trip proved to risky for my camera...

Ok i should be ashamed of my self because i've done almost no stitching or knitting as i've been researching life in a foreign country, namely through this blog . Morry is funny, insightful and really a great read! I've been readying through her archives of her life in japan and have loved every post! I have however made a little progress on this! The black and grey felt like it was never going to be complete and it still is'nt i've got the whole of the top to do and the bottom right hand coner to do as well! But i love it because it means that with all the grey the lady is going to stick out even more! Have a great week! SJ
