We are moving house tomorrow, again!. All the boxes are packed and we justhave stuff left out for tongiht BUT I thought you'd all be pleased to know that on the pile of boxes in the lounge is my current WIP so that I can get a bit done tonight!

never was in doubt that you had your priorities in the right order. good luck with your move and with settling in to the new place. all will go well.

Carole

Good luck with the move. Glad you remembered to keep your stitching handy.

Glad to know your WIP is handy to deal with any stresses. Good luck with the move and settling in.

Start as you mean to go on, I say! Make sure the kettle, and are near the top of a box, too! Good luck for the move!

hehe.. good to know your priorities are in order! I hope your move goes as smoothly as possible!

I was just wondering how the move went and hoping it all went without any hitches.

Good luck Liz!

Best wishes for a smooth move........

Good luck! Moving is a stressful business so you've done the right thing in assuring that your 'Stress-buster' kit (the stitching!) is right at the top!

Oh yes and the teapot/favourite mug and bikkies!

I hope the move went well!

Hope it all went well!

WW, agree about the teapot -- I'd be lost without it

Hope everything went well with the move! Are you still in the county?

All the best for your move. Hope to see your stitching again soon

The move all went well thank you and we are mostly unpacked. I have been stash sorting as well. I am ashamed of how much 'scraps' of fabric I have. I don't think I need to buy anymore for many years.

This was when I put most of the stash away. I have also taken the chance to sort out stash on the computer and again I'm ashamed to realize that I have 15 HAED.
Yesterday was my birthday. It was not easy as my two boys forgot to post my card(although they were very upset about it) and my partner, with whom things are a bit rocky, didn't "bother" to get me anything. So I had no pressies at all. I took us out to lunch but it was a very difficult day.
However, this is the nearest beach to our new house (5 mins away) so it was lovely to look at while we ate.


And finally a picture of me on my birthday.
I uswed to hate pictures of me but since this last time last year I was not necessarily expected to live I somehow treasure pictures more and
don't care how fat or old I look!

You don't look fat or old and I am glad to "see" you. Sounds like the move went pretty well. 15 HAED is not over the top by any means. I have managed to accumulate 25 in less than a year (including the freebies I downloaded in the beginning and never did). That is a lovely view you had for lunch and I hope that next year everyone remembers your birthday. And the present is having the birthday. I have come to appreciate them more every year.

Liz, sorry your birthday wasn't all it might have been. Hope you have settled in to your new home - what a lovely view so close to home too.

I think a lot of us have lots of fabric stashed away for who know what projects to come

Great photos - and you don't look old or fat !

Thank you Carole, you are so right. I am truley grateful to have a birthday! The little girl in me was a bit put out but the grown up understands Anyway I am off to see my lovely two boys tomorrow and I know that will be like lots of birthdays come at once.

Liz - sorry things didn't work out as you had hoped, I'm sure your boys will make up for it tomorrow. Considering everything you've been through I think you are amazing! I'm just racking my brains trying to figure out where you took that photo...........!

It's Charlestown, the nearest beach to St Austell. They have those lovely tall ships there most of the time. They were putting a new mast on yesterday so were up and down the rigging.
It has been used for filming a lot. Apparently Dr Who and a big blockbuster moviue whose name escapes me.
It is well worth a visit - a lovely little place.
