I'm still here!

Hi folks.

I've not deserted the land of blogging, just been more interested in reading up on other people's lives that actually writing anything about mine!

Well not a fantastic deal has gone on lately. The builder has been over the last few weeks and has finished his list of to-do's. My house still looks like a building site since there is dust managing to infiltrate the smallest of spaces and just seems a never ending cleaning crusade.

On the knitting front I should really be boasting many triumphs.... but no. I may be at home but the heat is really getting to me and I cannot knit. It pains me to say I've been doing a few square inches of tapestry a day when the need for craftiness has crept in and also making a little jewellery for myself and a few family members.
Not only does the knitting make my already hot achy hands even hotter and more achy, but the mid point space at which I held my needles at infront of me is no longer available.... so it's either squint at knitting in my lap and get neckache or hunch my shoulders up and knit pretty much infront of my face. The DB and his offspring have a lot to answer for if you ask me! ;o)

It's official now: I don't have to work again until February! The doctor decided it would be best for me to be resting rather that struggling to go into work for the duration to my maternity leave date which was 1st August. I've been finding it really difficult and even though I'm gutted i couldn't work to 36/38 weeks, our best interests are what matters eh?

And so..... 5 and a bit weeks to go to my due date which is 29th August.

I will try and post more often if only to show small triumphs- lets face it I'm not going to be miraculously making anything in this heat!

Many thanks to the well wishers- I'm actually sick of moaning but it's the only activity I have at the moment ;o)

Like the blog makeover. Make the most of that maternity leave to get as much rest and relaxation as possible - life will never be the same again after that baby arrives!

Enjoy whichever crafts you like! It's way too hot to do very much at all at the moment!

Glad to hear the doctor has told you to take it easy.At least it's a bit cooler today. Like your new template by the way.

Thanks for rescuing my book, typical of me to forget it. I've got a head like a sieve these days! Good to see you today.

Wow, not long to go now! Enjoy your rest and just do whatever takes your fancy ;)

And if you feel sexy then join the Sexy Knitters Club anyway - why wait?

Glad to know I'm not the only one with Curious Yarns issues.....it is a shame but hey, there are plenty more suppliers out there ;0)
