Haven’t been posting due to spending time with the Dragon (aka Mum) - she arrived bright and early on Thursday morning, and I ended up with both Fraze and Mum as visitors that night … Mum crashed out early on the sofa, while Fraze and I howled out loud watching Chris Rock’s HBO special on DVD, and having a few bevvies. Friday morning I woke up with a painful headache, mainly because Fraze and I woke up with the teeming rain at about 4.30am - and got up to chat for a while with Mum. At about 5.30am I hit the hay for another hour, then Fraze had to go to work while Mum and I spent the day out shopping at Queen Victoria markets until about 3pm … after a sushi ‘lunch’ I crashed out badly until 7pm, managed to stay awake for another 2 hours, then hit the hay yet again until 4am before work! So, all-in-all, no great stitching progress made …
The good news, though, is that I finally finished my gift piece … not quite how I intended it to look - I was whip-stitching the edges with beads, but the shade of the beads didn’t really suit it, so a-frogging I went … I ended up just leaving the whip-stitching plain, and got it finished and stuffed tonight. That means I can finally get it in the post tomorrow - yippee!!!
That now means that I can resume scheduled programming, aka my rotation … so the Dratteds are back on the floorstand, and ready for their 10 hours worth. I’m on 5am’s all week, so that’s a good one to get stitching done. It also means I should be able to get back to blogging again - can’t wait to see what everyone’s been up to

It seems you had some busy days
but hopefully a lot of fun as well. I’m glad you’re back to normality ’cause I really missed you blogging :-)))
Can’t wait to see your gift piece.

Is ‘dragon’ sort of an affectionate nickname for your mom? Sounds like busy, good days - take care and enjoy!

I’ve missed you the last few days, Anne, but life gets in the way of blogging sometimes
Glad you had such lovely visits

Nice to see you, Anne! I haven’t had time to blog much either. Tell you mum I said hi!
