Catch-up Time

So what have I been up to in the last 5 weeks?
I have been really busy with work, spent way too much time on Farmville (have since blocked my application) and managed a tiny bit of stitching!

This is my latest toy...I should have no excuses now...I have the means to blog whenever... no more sharing with teenagers!

I've been taking this lovely lady for walks....how could you resist that cute face??

I had to purchase more of my favourite fabric...I was a bit scared I wouldn't have enough for future projects so I just had to buy more!!

And on the stitching front this is what I have been working on at night. I have actually finished 3 blocks now....will share tomorrow!
So this is a comeback...no more Farmville....but more blogging!!

I can so relate to the 'no more Farmville' - I too blocked it and even disabled my FB account until I could trust myself to log on and not sit there in FB for hours playing those games! I had no time for stitching - now I've got lots of time again, and that addiction has been cured!

Hi Cathrine!
I have stayed away from Farmville involvement. Looks like that was a smart decision on my part. We get so little time to create we have to make the most of it. Good to see you again. Karmen

I started playing Farmville several months ago and decided I had better not spend any more time on it. Nice seeing a post from you.
