Drive by blogging…

  see more Lolcats and funny pictures My poor neglected blog hasn’t got a look in lately for a number of reasons. Have been unwell, a mix of viral infection, insomnia, fibromyalgia and inner ear infection has seen me down for the count for way too long… though I am starting to feel a bit [...]

Best laid plans…

Well my planned Friday Night Sew In was a bust… Have been struggling with insomnia for the last 10 days, with resulting fatique, headaches and general aches and pains. Lucky if I manage 4 hours sleep each night… so by Friday I was literally running on fumes… and woke up Friday morning to ear ache, sore [...]

Where, oh where, have I been…

I’ve been to London to visit the Queen… yeah right! Have been away in the land of pucky, sneezy, sleepy, mopey etc. with a recurring viral infection, migraines, gastro etc.   Still not 100% but getting there. That’s not to say that I haven’t actually been doing anything, have quite a few photos to share [...]

Butterfly and Blossoms…

Another finish… am on a roll here! This littly doily was a kit provided to us when we did Girl’s Day Out at Country Thyme Patchwork with Leanne, Rosalie and Melly in 2009. It’s one of Leanne’s designs, I didn’t start it on the day, but much, much later, and was another project dug out [...]

Flossie’s Flaunt…

Well, as Jasmine has quite rightly said in a comment here, what am I doing and why aren’t I talking about it here? I was going to do a post earlier in the week, but have spent the week doing a bit of a reorganisation of the blog and some other stuff.   Blog pages now [...]

Staycation Day 1 – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yesterday was Day 1 of my 6 week ‘staycation’ and I’m hoping to do a blog post each day monitoring my progress towards my goal of using needle and thread every day! I spent the majority of the day doing shopping, as another goal of this break is to get into a better ‘eating’ regime.   [...]

Bibs and Bobs…

Not a lot of stitching going on still in the Frou Palace… am still sorting out cupboards and boxes and bins purging stuff (see the For Sale pages)… look what I found, and forgot I had… These were a set of Dresden Plates I bought on ebay a few years ago.  Not vintage made, but [...]

Stitchers Angel 2009

Well Kate has finally received my parcel, so I can post a photo of my Stitchers Angel gifts. This was harder then I thought, just because I couldn’t decide what I wanted to make… initially stitched several of the freebie projects to make a similar set above, but was hugely bothered by the fact the [...]

Sadie the Cleaning Lady and bloggy goodness

At Chez Frou today I’m playing Sadie the Cleaning lady***… not a role I play easily, but it had to be done, while there are advantages to having tiles everywhere except the bedrooms, the disadvantage with two indoor cats is that their fur just sits there!   Well, it had gotten so bad the collected fur [...]
