Had quite a productive day today considering I had a late start due to not being able to breathe very well this morning! I've made a pin cushion out of a free sample of material from my sample stash tin, and I've planted up some pots with some salad seeds that came free in the post, and with some of the bulbs I bought ages ago from the pound shop, they were starting to sprout so I thought I should plant them up really! The living room window now has tomato seeds in it too as the pepper seeds I planted are sprouting wondrously in there, it gets so sunny and warm during the day! The other things are in the office window, just until they establish themselves, then they can be put outside.
I need to get some more planters and things really so I think a trip to pound land is in order, I shall work out what I need to get first of all and stick to the list, as I'm on a super saver fortnight at the moment!

I got a letter from the hospital today asking me to call them up and make a 'mutually convenient appointment' with them for an MRI scan, but they are closed 12-2pm so I will ring them in a bit, hopefully I won't have to wait too long for an appointment. I will have to make it on a Monday or a Thursday though, as Mum is off then and will simply have to come with me, in that way she always has to, ha ha!

I got a couple more free samples of material today, still nothing from Dalton Mill though, I'm building it up in my head I just know I will be disappointed! I did get a free book today though, by Stuart Maconie, it's about the northwest, so I will have a leaf through that later on.

I don't know what to make for the teaparty tomorrow, I'm so scared of nobody turning up, people always drop out of coming to my parties and things, I don't want to be left with a table full of cake and nobody to eat it, espically as I can't eat wheat and gluten! I sent a reminder around people last night, via facebook, so hopefully people will come. I always worry about nobody coming, which is silly as I don't like crowds of people either ha ha! At least I can be tight chested, nervous and popular though :p I think I will make some biscuits soon, and use the new cat shaped cookie cutter I bought yesterday, I should probably try out the star shaped cake tin too! That's going to be fun to line! agh!

Still no UCAS news!

I am the reaper

Most of this morning has been spent ordering free samples of fabric from dalston mill and various sites on the wonderous interweb! I can't wait for them to arrive, espically as most of the sites say they should be here in 24 or 48 hours.
I wonder what things I will create with my free fabric samples, I may do a quilted shopping bag or something like that. I can't really go for anything too exciting as I'm only a beginner and I don't own a sewing machine, so everything has to be done by hand, which isn't easy when you are the proud owner of crippled rubbishy hands :p
This reminds me, I'm sure Mum said she had a sewing machine doing nothing that I could have, I will have to ask about this tonight! :D
