I'm going for my MRI scan tonight, I'm excited about the actual scan, but I'm scared about the results, but I guess that's quite natural. I hope I don't have to wait too long for the results though, knowing the NHS it could be years til I get them, have to allow time for them to lose them and accidently send them to Africa and back first!
I've started work on a Howl's Moving Castle cross stitch, it's looking quite good and has lots of block colors so I'm getting through it quite quickly. I'm stitching it for Stu and it's going to go in the office when it's done.
Anyway, just a short post, I'm going to make a quick cake, before I have a bath!

Today has been a very creative day! I've finished off the bracelet for my Mum's mothers day present, so that's in it's box that I got yesterday, and ready to give to her. I think I will try and stitch a card tonight too, or maybe tomorrow.
I've started work on a charm bracelet for myself too. I've used a ready made T bar clasp bracelet, removed 8 or 9 links from it, and have started to put on the smaller items I've been finding on the market stall that sells broken jewellery. It's looking quite good and I'm looking forward to going back to the stall next week to find some more things to add to it!

I got a letter today off UCLAN, asking me to send them in a list of my grades from my year at Huddersfield University, so I shall try and send that off tomorrow, and hopefully they will get back to me by the end of the week, hopefully!

I've been quite creative today, I've finished off some stitching presents I've made for some friends and I think I may try and finish off something else before I go to bed, but I may do some reading or something else instead, my head hurts now :(
The weather is certainly looking up, I actually hung some washing out to dry on the line, I haven't done that yet this year. The garden is looking better too, I'm hoping to grow some sweet peas up the trunk of the plum tree Mum and Jeff brought over. The flower bed and two troughs are all planted up now too so they will look great when they start to flower. I'm looking forward to having somewhere pretty to sit in the better weather, I'm going to get a table and chairs set to put outside. I can take tea in the garden with friends ha ha!
Going to the market tomorrow, hoping to buy some broken jewellery gems to make into nice new pretty things for myself and others. Having lunch at the university with AK and Nicky and then I think we may be venturing to Abakhan for cheap fabric, whoop! I feel more creative days approaching! :)
Still no UCAS news.

I'm exhausted today, I went into town with Mum yesterday, so today is an official day of sofa and crafting! I have a few things I want to finish, so I shall see how much I can do today, then I think I may get the massive Autumn Fairy back out! This cross stitch is HUGE, I started it about a year ago but I just had it on a large frame and I was struggling to hold it, so it got put away, but I have a stand now, so I think it's time it saw the light of day again, just hope the faffing about setting it up doesn't put me off.....again! :p
I cleaned and fixed three broken bracelets I bought from the car boot the other day, and they look great, in fact Mum has rub off with one of them as she has earrings that match it, she says ha ha, it was too big for me and my midget wrists anyway, and untakeinable :P The other two are mine though, one of them I'm very proud of as it was dirty as hell and in three pieces, it took aaaages to find on the stall, but I did and now it looks fab, just wish I had taken some before photos, I shall have to remember to do this with the next batch I get, that will be Thursday, I'm actually excited it's quite sad! :p
In other news, we think Eddie may have broken his tail! He isn't holding it correctly and it's all lumpy and obviously sore when we touch it in a certain place, but he seems happy enough and is jumping up onto things just fine and is coming for snuggles in bed etc, so he can't be in too much pain or anything. We shall keep an eye on him for a few days and if there is no change then I think we shall be taking a trip to the vet, which is going to be fun as Eddie HATES the basket, egh!
