Fun in the Sun!

Hello everyone!

How is everyone? Did you all miss me? I know its been a while (again) since I posted but to be fair I have been away on holiday for the past two weeks!

I have very little to report stitching wise, I took a small kit with me but in the entire two weeks did about 30 stitches - there was just no time, or if there was I was distracted by Wimbledon (GOOOO MURRAY!) or by the pool calling my name...

While away in Florida I of course took a trip to one of the craft stores. While going to pick up the food shopping on the day we arrived I spotted a Joann's nearby - of course I had to go look!

Well you stitchers in the states are so lucky! Everything is SO much cheaper - three skeins of floss for 99 cents?! Here is about 50 pence for one!

As tempted as I was to clear out the entire floss stock instead I picked up two kits which have been on my bucket list for a while, again, so much cheaper than if I had of bought them here!

Disney Dreams - Little Mermaid
Fall Fairy
Other than that not much else to report. Fingers crossed now the holiday is done with (*cries*) I can get back in to the swing of things with stitching. For now here is some photos from my holiday - enjoy!

Oh My!

I cannot believe it has been 4 weeks since I last posted here! Where is this month, year for that matter going?!!

Things are well, busy, but well. Thank you to those of you who sent messages asking if I was ok, I am perfectly fine, just super busy :D hehe.

I must be honest and say I have not touch any stitching for ages! I am doing an odd stitch here and there but really no progress has been made on anything... bad bad bad Emma.

Running wise, it is going great. We are running three times a week and I am up to about 4K each run now, I have about 5 weeks to go until the charity run so I am confident I can build up my stamina and I will be able to do the run! We have currently raised £650! That is amazing!

Weight wise things are also going well, I am now 15lbs lighter than when I started, things have started to feel baggy and I even bought some clothes in the lower size last week! Yeah!

Last weekend me and three friends took a road trip to see our friend who is at Navy College, we were all missing her and it was her first friends and family weekend so of course we had to go visit! It was great to see where she is now and that she is doing so well.

Here is a few pics of the weekend.










I will be back soon once I have touched my stitching, promise!

Only two weeks until my holiday too! I cannot wait!! :D
