Unusual Activity...........

I think that's what they call it when there are transactions on your bank account that are a little out of the ordinary..........I was looking at mine the other day and there it was "unusual activity"......Foodland.....and again a couple of days later....Foodland............yep....grocery shopping...and not once but a couple of times last week.....!! and believe it or not...I cooked as well! Who would have thought!! the Prince has had a bit on his plate at work so I bit the bullet (some would say that would be about as tasty as my cooking!!) and ventured into the aisles of the supermarket to hunt and gather...it was ok and I didn't even get lost.....thanks to the Prince who phoned to see if I was OK......what a gem!


Work has settled down a bit and this morning I went back to the gym for the first time in ages....could it be that some normality (apart from food shopping) is returning to my life???.....I certainly hope so!! I even managed to get some stitching time in over the weekend......Block Four of Wool Garden.....whilst not actually stitched is all ready to go............


This is a fun project and I like the way it is coming together......

I have also been doing some secret squirrel stitching.........Time for Tea Swap is due to be posted in the next few days - I want to make some finishing touches to the parcel and it will be off to.........well........overseas is all I can say!

So just a sneak peek for now........This is the only swap I have joined this year....I just haven't had the time to devote to any others - but I have been tempted...!!

Yesterday was devoted to some serious house cleaning......and it is nice to "find" the dining room table again.....a few trips up to the sewing room and most of the stuff that had made its way downstairs was back where it belonged.....floors were scrubbed - and I am talking hands and knees here!!....and bathrooms cleaned.....all in all the weekend was very productive....just think what I might achieve next weekend.....it is a three day weekend here in SA.....woo hoo!

'Til next time..........Lorraine

Those blue flowers lok sweet. I think you need to sit and relax for a while, it can be very stressful going round the grocery store, you need to do some sewing, to help you recover! ;-)

I can't wait for the long weekend - and I don't even go to work! Okay, you are definitely trying too hard Loz. (Floor scrubbing??? what were you thinking?) Hope you have a happy week!

Your so funny about going to Foodland and not getting lost - your a hoot chicky. Your wool block looks lovely and I'm glad your enjoying the project. Your little blue snippet looks beautiful - can't wait to see the finished project and whoever receives it in your swap I'm sure will be thrilled.

Hugs - Karen
