Back Into Routine

Hello! Yes, I've been dragged kicking and screaming (SLIGHT exaggeration as that would actually cause The Scar and me physical pain!) back into routine. So here I am....blogging again.
I went back to work today, after two and a half weeks off, post operation, so thought I'd better blog too. The problem with being off work and convalescing (putting aside my grievances with The Scar, and the Blind-Eye-Condition I developed towards The Partner's skills in the Hoovering Department....or lack thereof!) is that you lose all sense of proper time, and things slip a bit. Sorry!
Lots of nice things have been happening. There were a couple of proud moments when The Son announced he'd been shown how to cross-stitch at school by The Very Lovely Mrs Trant....and wanted to do some more.....

.....and I cleared my back log of Christmas Orders For Others, and have actually managed to make a start on making the presents that I shall be giving.
AND the cherry on the cake is that I receieved my runner from my Swap Partner! And I LOVE it! It's more of a centrepiece than a runner, but that's fine as it fits my table perfectly. Just look.....

...isn't it just gorgeous?? A lady called Mari (from ZewNice) made it for me, and sent it all the way from Norway! I couldn't be more delighted. Above is the front (obviously!) and below is the back....

.....lucky, LUCKY me!!
Thanks for popping by. See you soon. xx
