WOYWW

Gosh this last week went quickly. I have been busy preparing for my All Day Class on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing the seven ladies and enjoying the food that my friend will prepare for us. i know there's lemon and lime cheesecake for dessert and carrot cake for the afternoon :-) - I'm never going to be thin!!! I did manage to swim twice last week but I don't think that will counteract all I've eaten. Unfortunately when I am stressed I eat - and I've been worrying a lot about mum and her situation.

I was happy on Friday and Saturday when I knew my sons and their families had returned safely from  their holidays in Portugal/ US ( Florida ) I'm so pleased that they had fabulous holidays but so relieved they were home safe and sound.

On Saturday evening we had a lovely meal at younger sons to celebrate their homecoming Lasagne and salad followed by tiramisu- yummy.
Enjoyed looking at all the photos :-)

I have almost finished everything for the class - on my desk/aka dining table you can see final bits being finished.


Normally the ladies would do own die cutting but they need a lot of these and I only have one set and one Big Shot!


Looking further down - there is an order to it - honest :-)



And I've spread out onto the sideboard - I've made some goody bags as well .




Popped into Aldi last Wed after the dentist and bought the above for some charity knitting - not the price marked!!!!

The yarn above is for a CAl I decided to try and join in with - just in case I don't have enough to do :-) The yarn is the basic kit but it is beautifully soft.

If you would like to join in WOYWW then pop along to Julia's Blog and find out more.
I will visit all who visit me, those ending in the same number and as many others that I can.

  1. I'm glad your sons are safely home. We worry...sometimes I think that's our unofficial job description as Moms no matter how old the children may be. Our youngest is coming home next week for three entire weeks. He lives in Tokyo and it's been 2 1/2 years since he's been home. I'm very excited. Your class sounds as though it will be a good one, I wish I lived close enough to join you and learn a new craft.
    Blessings,

  4. That yarn looks beautiful - I can never resist anything that's in colour order like that, it's alwasy so appealing! The little die cut flowers and leaves look sweet, I like the lacy open effect. Hope you have a great week and thanks so much for the stopping by my desk earlier,

  8. Those rose die cuts look lovely and I'm sure the ladies at your class will love it too.
    I love the wool. I have recently joined a sock knitting group but haven't got round to buying wool yet. I like socks that can be machine washed and I haven't found any yet. Might have to order some online....
    It's always a relief when everyone has safely returned to base, however old they are.
    Thanks for your visit and your kind comment,
    Happy WOYWW,

  11. I know what you mean about stress eating. I do it too! I also have trouble sleeping. I wondered why I was gritting my teeth really hard in sleep and I realise it is because Mum has another scan coming up. Always worry. I hope things work out with your mum.

    I hope you have a wonderful class. It sounds like you are getting well organised!

  21. Also trying to get thin, but temptation is everywhere, trying the 5:2 diet, that means i can eat what i want on 5 days and follow a strict diet on the other 2, only eaten 500cal in 2 meals. Hopefully this will work. happy belated WOYWW Vicky #9
