New Month, New desire to keep a blog again

Another month has gone by without an update. Yes I know I'm bad.



I've started my maths course (MST121 with the OU) and so far I'm really enjoying it. It’s a refreshing change to the Latin which by the way I failed miserably at. I went to my first tutorial on Saturday, things went well an interesting bunch, plus someone from work was there. So I'm hoping to get with her occasionally to go over work with her.



Had a lovely evening on Sunday my sis and her hubby came over for the evening. We've been planning the evening for a few weeks, and I was intending to do a fondue night. We all had a lot of fun; the food went down amazingly well considering I cooked it. (Not that it took much effort to cook; it was just a case of preparing the ingredients before hand during the day then 5-10 minutes in front of the stove).



Stitching wise I had a lovely surprise last night I came 3rd in the small category of Silkweaver.com Stitches Showcase. See here for my entry : GingerBread House by TW Designworks. Unfortunately I don't win any prizes but I was very impressed I placed at all looking at some of the other entries. So I'm feeling very smug and proud of myself.

I've already finished 2 items this year Dragon Dreams'Night time Wizard' and a small (very small) Designer Stitches Piglet card. I'm concentrating on TW Designworks Egyptian Sampler at the moment I would like to finish it for my DBf, for Xmas 2005. We shall see if that is too ambitious or not later in the year.

I'm upset I'm missing a GTG with my stitchy pals this weekend in Bath, but as I have a tutorial for Maths again on Saturday I can't do both, and the OU course has to take priority. *Sigh*



I've signed up for a City and Guilds Level 1 Bead Weaving course starting on the 23/2/05 I have no idea what to expect, but I'm looking forward to it. If for nothing else a qualification in doing something I love is such a rare thing to achieve.
