ll be back tomorrow with some pretties to show you today i am just taking a moment which i am sure many of you are too xxx posted by mrs flying blind at 20 40 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels sad days tracks of all our years under pressure wednesday 6 january 2016 promises promises i promised you photos of some christmas makes and so i shall honour that at last 3 pouches based on svetlana s pattern with an additional loop to attach a karabiner to for all your nerf ing needs all 3 kiddos are nerf gun fanatics and those foam bullets get everywhere so solution sought and found everyone s a winner and talking of winners i finished up helen s additional prize yesterday and mailed it to her today another drawstring pouch honestly anyone who thinks you can have too many little pouches is mistaken last night i was at a school meeting battle plans to stop its closure and tomorrow i am back to work so my head is not as full of the light and fluffy stuff as i would like 6 days in but i m taking it in my stride thus far posted by mrs flying blind at 21 31 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels in the bags monday 4 january 2016 gordon s alive yup still here you don t get rid of me that easily i m afraid so happy new year one and all i had planned on blogging a little over the holidays but honestly switching off literally and metaphorically was really bloody lovely christmas was a family food and tv fuelled affair the kids had a wonderful time too and that s what matters the only fly in the ointment was my car s power steering pump failing so an unexpected home rescue and unplanned for expenditure wasn t the best timed it must have broken as we arrived home on christmas night but within an hour of discovering a problem on bank holiday monday the car had been towed to the garage by a literally passing rac man here before i got off the phone and he d dropped me off at my sister in law s in time for lunch the garage were stars as always and had it fixed by new year s eve it could have been so much worse today dear husband and son were back to the daily slog the girls had an inset day so we have packed up christmas for another year i have also managed a little sewing already but more on that soon i meant to get photos of all my christmas makes but easier said than done i will try to remember tomorrow i didn t link up with the 2015 q4 fal because of the 4 i listed i finished nothing although helen has won my hexies which i am ashamed to say are still awaiting an additional prize before i mail them so that s my other goal for tomorrow for rest of the year i am planning on getting stuff finished too my wip list is actually at an all time high low and they are all things i really want to finish so i am going to try not to start anything new until i have finished at least one wip old new old new or maybe even old old old well it s sort of a plan i am also going to try to get into a better blogging rhythm although i have not quite decided what that means yet i don t want to feel obliged to blog when really i have nothing to say or show life is too short for us all but i don t want the tumbleweeds to take over let me have a ponder 2015 was not my favourite year by a long shot so i am really pleased to shut that door and look forward to happier times it goes for my blog and online presence as well as my private life i am going to focus my energies on doing things that make me happy cutting the clutter 3 bin bags of clothes to charity already today numerous apps deleted and procrastination and heel dragging are things of the past my word of the year will be lighter now i just need to burn off all that christmas cake and even more scarily venture into my inbox i doubt there is anything important amongst the sales and unbelievable and probably out of date season s offerings but best be brave i may be some time xxx posted by mrs flying blind at 20 55 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels christmas finish it all new year new start tuesday 22 december 2015 winner winner turkey dinner good evening folks without further ado the winner of my hexie giveaway is no1 love that congratulations helen feel free to pass them on and thank you all for letting me know i am not alone on the long standing wip naughty step i am feeling a little less sorry for myself now i hope i get to count this as a fal finish otherwise i will score a cool zero this quarter well i can t promise that you will hear from me again this side of christmas although i am under the hopefully not too misguided illusion that i am on schedule all sorted and prepared i finished up all my festive makes on the weekend and stoopidly wrapped most of them up unphotographed so i will try to get some snaps on the day without looking too weird so have a very merry relaxed and happy christmas everyone i hope santa is good to you and that you and yours get at least one quality nap in front of the tv see you before the year is out my friends joyeux noël xxx posted by mrs flying blind at 20 20 3 comments email this blogthis share to

been hanging around here for years cropping up on my fal list every quarter and never getting the attention they deserve well in the spirit of sharing and moving on and going forth into the new year i am basically passing the buck so it s a win win i get to move something off my never ending to do list something that i haven t fallen out of love with just don t have the time to turn into something super and you get a pretty half made project to play with i am not one for hoops so just leave me one comment telling me which wip you keep putting to the bottom of the pile this giveaway is for followers only because it s my blog my rules so expect me to check that you really are you can tell me how you follow if you want to be helpful and if you are a no reply blogger then for goodness sake leave an email address i will pick a winner next tuesday evening 22nd december 8pm gmt so if all goes to plan i will be able to pop into the post office before christmas although that s a sincere hope but not a promise open internationally multiple comments will be deleted and random org will do the business good luck my friends xxx posted by mrs flying blind at 20 05 35 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels clearing the decks followers are the best giveaway hexies tuesday 15 december 2015 secrets and pies only one more morning at work then i will be free to catch up with myself my blog a giveaway oh and christmas today i mailed my secret santa gift for the brit bee ornament swap and despite having received mine on saturday i thought it only right and proper not to open it until i had been to the post office and fulfilled my side of the deal so i ripped into the wrapping the minute i got home today and here s what was inside thank you so much secret santa you spoilt me and i know who you are what s with all the questions i m sorry my picture doesn t do sparkly justice to the tiny cross stitched santa and i am not going to mention the treats in the foil i have realised that this christmas time i am not going to be able to show you any secret stitching or anything what with the now highly teched up small folk in the house i am so lucky to be in this amazing bee i love all that we do especially our newest member mwah posted by mrs flying blind at 20 35 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels brit bee christmas love you flangelina secret santa monday 14 december 2015 going for it if you follow me on instagram mrsflyingblind that s me you may have seen my weekend reveal yep i took the plunge did the thing i had pondered for a long while and am so glad i did after a little planning the amazingly skilled adam at occult tattoo worthing did the deed it was a fun saturday morning a couple of weeks back and quite frankly didn t hurt at all i kept it quiet kids sworn to secrecy until i had the chance to show my parents this weekend who are now duly shocked disappointed as well as wonderful and forgiving i hope ok so i know the cons but it s not going to scupper any modelling ballerina joining the police dreams ruin my wedding photos or get me in with the wrong crowd i can live with the odd look and bit of attitude come the summer the ahope is our initials the swallow for love family and home my mum s father was in the navy and my dad has done more than 5 000 nautical miles the needle and thread need no explanation so why now other than mid life crisis because quite frankly so many sad bad horrible things happened this year that i wanted to take back a bit of control do something for me before it s too late live for the moment and not worry about how it might look in 30 years time i am sure there will be a lot worse things to worry about than a bit of saggy grey skin when i m 75 heck if that is all that s bothering me i will be blessed i have also lost 3 stone since january and this is just another part of the new back to the old me i don t need to justify anything but i can i am already thinking that i may add to it i need flowers maybe a button or two how about a circle of flying geese moderation what s that posted by mrs flying

caught totally unawares this time around and i am feeling a smudge guilty that said there don t at quick glance seem to be very many giveaways on the go so i am in good company i have therefore decided to do my own pre christmas giveaway next week for the albeit few folks who actually visit my blog not unfamiliar the hoppers harsh but fair does that sound like a good deal of course you don t know what i am thinking of off loading so you may change your mind i have to get these off my fal list somehow today though i almost finished my christmas shopping so thrilled and spent the evening at brownies doing colouring and christmas crafty stuff so thrilled that s over too i almost have time to spend on making the few presents i want to this year have a good weekend peeps xxx posted by mrs

feeling rightly angelic the tree and house are decorated the cards were written and mailed i finished a secret santa gift and also got all the boring but time consuming stuff like changing and washing all the bedding and towels ticked off for this week ok so i still have presents to buy and make food to order and another week of work to get through not to mention a load of school brownies and scouts stuff but i am a heck load nearer being prepared than i was 24 hours ago posted by mrs flying blind at 21 35 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels getting christmas stuff done tuesday 8 december 2015 no denying it i bought a christmas tree today from the friendly man and his van once again it s spending the night in the garage and the decorations will go up tomorrow might even get some christmas tunes on the go whilst i am at it couple of kirstie s homemade christmasses to catch up on as well as writing the cards and doing the post office encounter i have my list at the ready wish me luck posted by mrs flying blind at 21 55 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels getting christmas stuff done monday 7 december 2015 pass the tissues i had one of those making weekends i found a tute pulled my fabrics worked round making sunday lunch and getting dear son out the door for a day of laser battling in the mud an hour to myself and i got sewing finished sewing gaaah ok so american pocket packs of tissues are despite outside appearances assumptions and trust shorter and fatter than your uk variety it would seem 8 yes 8 covers made and they just looked bloody awful not the fault of the tutorial honestly i would have gone ahead and made the opening lengthways if it hadn t been pointed out that some including the kleenex i have open at the short end i thought i could live with teacher brownie leader gifts looking a little bit gaping but i couldn t i resigned myself to that fact about 30 seconds later so today i made another set snug the kids have commandeered the originals for other uses phones headphones and the like and i am a happier bunny brief respite though as
