Not sleeping well

I have been known to sleep walk - and when I started doing it I would say to Graham to just tell me to go to bed, and it would work. Anyway, last night was a new adventure. I managed to get myself out of bed - jumping out I reckon and then hurt myself really hard in various odd places on a bed side drawers and a free-standing radiator. This morning I am not such a happy bunny. I’ve managed to hurt my ribs, underneath my arm (the bruise is purple..eek), my leg, my foot (opposite side to the bruise on my leg….heaven knows how…), and to add insult to injury I managed to knock over a glass of dilute juice onto a cream carpet which I had to scrub out at 2 in the morning, oh and get the juice also ALL over my side of the bed. It’s not my week I’ve decided. Hopefully the weekend will be better.

Rainbow cake! Wow

I bow to the pure genius of some people.

{bowing right now…yuuuuup..} I have a friend who tried her hand at multicoloured cakes but this one blew me away. Good stuff!

Inspiration

I am trying to find a new bead loom project - something really challenging that perhaps I could hang up and it would look pretty, perhaps as a gift for someone…I don’t know, but it never occurred to me to look at adapting cross stitch patterns for bead loom work, not at all. What a fantastic idea. So now I’m spending my lunch break hunting for ideas.

Geek cross stitch

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages! It’s a cross stitch pattern of the Mozilla Firefox logo - brilliant stuff!

Smarties jigsaw

I’ve been doing this fantastic jigsaw lately which Graham bought me called ‘The worlds hardest jigsaw’ - it’s taken me ages to do - I think I’ve had it out 5 or 6 weeks and I’ve been spending odd evenings doing it. Well, I’m good at jigsaws of all types but this one was a challenge. It was only 529 pieces but is a double sided picture of Smarties.
