Do you ever feel...

like life is passing you by. I feel like I have missed most of this year and although I really haven't it makes me sad...
 We have lost a beloved friend and Uncle , a straight up English lady who I am truly thankful for and a daughter's friend. I have had health issues that have made me realize bouncing back sometimes it not so easy... I really don't mean to be depressing but things have just not been easy this year. I am grateful for all I love and who love me.
Thank you


Until next time...

THE JET LAG is slowly killing me...

I have pictures of stitching that I will post later today... I am being plagued by a head cold and jet lag. It has me up when I really should just be sleeping in! I've had a neo criton so that hopeful will help.

Until next time...

sitting at Heathrow...

Phil and I are currently in the departure area at Heathrow awaiting our gate number to board our plane home. I am tired and feeling a cold coming on (whine) It's been a short short trip but good ( as good as could be I guess) I am not a fan of the drive from Donny to London in Sunday traffic as it took twice as long and by the time we got to our hotel we were done. Oh well.
We stayed at a fabulous Best Western in Doncaster- the Mount Pleasant - if you ever are in Doncaster stay there! Book online as it as absolutely cheaper. Phil managed an English breakfast everyday and I managed toast. - I am not the biggest fan of English fare but I did not waste away.
I have put in one row of stitches on a stocking for Emma and that's all. I thought I might stitch on the flight here but just tried to sleep. I hope to do a bit on our way back but think a tylenol pm is in my future with (hopefully) three seats to myself to sleep- think positive thoughts for me:)

Until next time...

Sad news...

Phil's Mum passed away Tuesday. It's a blessing and was expected but still...

We are keeping quiet and life goes on...

She was a tough lady who loved her family very much.

Until next time...

Running and the angel weekend...

I have pictures today... Here's my slow progress on LK's Halloween Rules. It gets some stitches added when I have time to sit in my chair... Maybe later today...

I am scheduled to run 10 miles today and I am tired... I am so tired I don't want to do it BUT I will as I really want to do well in Disney and you have to put the time in. I'm going to do it while watching the latest Transfers movie as I am hoping it will go faster. 

Here's PS's Sweeping Cobwebs - I am really hoping to have this finished before we go to the cabin on the 13th. It's close just a few more words and a big moon and witch - oh and the border. I guess I know what this week looks like for me lol.

The CABIN!!!!!

The Angel's are off to the cabin on the 13th  for some fabulous RnR, solve the world's issues, drink some pumpkin martinis (rumtinis for Pam) drink some wine and stitch,stitch and stitch some more... We go every year and it is lovely and peaceful. We have no rules, we drink, eat and just have fun. The women I go on this annual event are my closest friends. They put up with me and I am truly blessed to know each of them. I have purchased my qsnaps and have started packing what I like to call the box of extras - this usually contains chocolate, candy,magazines, napkins and general stuff that makes me  happy.  As for stitching projects I need to narrow down my basket so I actually accomplish something. I am definitely taking Quaker Christmas (as the qsnaps have been purchased and I have all the threads and the fabric is ready. I am also bringing my set of SamSarah stocking - again the qsnaps are ready etc. The fabric is large enough after a day of stitching is lovely on the eyes :0). I have to put the buttons on BC's Deck the Halls and then it is finished- it was a "work on only at the cabin project" and will be finished this year so I believe my next woatcp will be Jingle by Plum Street. It's cute and one that will be fun to continue the tradition. 

Ok my running shoes are calling me and the sooner I get this done the better.

Until next time,
