Have Ya Missed Me..............

.........LOL......probably not LOL......but if you have I have not disappeared off the face of the earth....honest.  After my little trip away, the next Magnolia Ink deadline loomed a little quicker than I had originally thoughts {dumbo here looked at last years deadline list instead of this years, so thought I had more time than I did LOL}.....anyways, rather than battle to do my cards and projects for that and try to update my blog too, I decided to just get on with my maggie stuff........and to be honest it worked out so much better.......so I think in future that is what I will do.......so if I disappeared again then you now where I am LOL.......thanks for all the messages and emails asking after me......you are all so kind :o)

I did do some other crafty projects too over the last week, I made 2 Christmas cakes........plus I am nearly at the end of my crochet blanket, and I made a cushion too...but still need to get a cushion pad to put in it before I can take a picture.  I have made some crochet hearts for my Christmas tree.....still got lots more to make LOL............

Teddy's first proper bonfire night didn't got too badly {his first one with us anyway}.........he tried to get under the sofa a few times and he spent most of the night squidged in between me and Leigh and every now and then let out a bark.....just to show that he was not scared LOL........its strange as our Billy never bothered at all with fireworks, slept through the lot.....but little Teddy Boy is a completely different kettle of fish, bless him...but at least its over now.....well for another year anyway.

Anyway I would have blogged yesterday, with a card as I planned to have a little crafty sess.......BUT some rotter decided to break into Leigh's car on Sunday night, so I spent all of yesterday trying to sort things out and to be honest I was so upset by it that I couldn't concentrate on a thing.  Everything that was taken is replaceable, but its not the point they were things that I had bought for Leigh for his birthday and Christmas last year and they had sentimental value.   OOoooh it makes me so mad, these people think that they can take want ever they want, and bugger to the poor sods that work hard to pay for it.  They think its alright cos I can claim on the insurance, but I still have to pay the excess out.  What makes me even madder is two of the things that were taken {SatNav and MP3} are useless as they didn't take the chargers so what was the point.........and before anyone says "You shouldn't leave them in on view in your car" they were hidden in the glove box.........perhaps the moral of the story don't leave anything in the card at all.......well that is what I will be doing from now on. The daft part was my hubby had left some cash in the car, and they left that LOL.......

It has left me uneasy to think someone has riffled through your things, touched our stuff and claimed it for themselves........I hate it :o(.........I suppose it could have been worst though, they could have actually taken the car or come in the house for that matter.....I suppose there is always a bright side to look on in every situation.

Anyway, today I am going to get on with my normal work and then hopefully have a little crafty sess this afternoon sometime......I have lots to do, so I really need to get on.  With Christmas only a few weeks away I need to get cracking on some more Crimbo things :o)

See you all laters!
