Top 10 Halloween Costumes (#11)

OH MY GOSH!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS TUESDAY TODAY!!!!

I do sincerely apologise for my inability to keep track of days of the week. I just looked at the October schedule and thought, I need to post the November one...and saw October 27th...I thought, why is that the 27th, did I get the date wrong...NOOOOOO!

I am so dense this week.

I spent this morning thinking about whether or not to post a post about stuff and weirdly came across a post on Facebook about Wil Wheatons latest post which was oddly reminiscent of my non-existent post that i was thinking of posting.....and breathe.....

So...lets get back on track....a day late and a whole heap sorry...I give to you...



Top 10 Halloween Costumes!
This year I have decided to throw my nieces a Halloween party and dress up! I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was a pumpkin aged 8 at the school disco.
So here they are....














Some of these aren't that scary, but if you can't dress up at Halloween then when can you?
Now go check out Ke…

Top 10 Scary Books/Films (#10)

Top 10 Scary Movies/Books!
This is pretty tough...why oh why did I think it wouldn't be? I am actually scared of scary films and thats because when I was a wee young thing I watched a film, you may of heard of it....
1. Poltergeist Yes, this movie ruined me for all and any scary movies that may have followed! I think since then the closest I get to scary are thrillers. So I should probably end the list here, right? Well....I did start to read a book once....it was something called...
2. The Exorcist I am struggling now to remember if I read it and I don't believe I did - ha! I listened to an abridged radio version. I will hold my hands up that I am one of the Radio 3 listeners and you can get some great comedies and dramas on the radio. Being scared to watch the movie of The Exorcist due to its reputation, I opted to listen to the story - maybe it was somehow loosely based on the Exorcist, it wasn't that scary. 
3. Young 80 Now most will know that this is a story that I wr…

Top 10 Halloween themed charts (#9)

Top 10 Halloween themed charts (#9)
10. The frosted pumpkin stitchery has some cutie pie designs, this one caught my eye not least because of the theme but I love the colour choices for a non-spooky Halloween.

9. I wanted to include a few that were not the norm...and this is one that I like and would love to stitch if there wasn't so much white!

8. Another one that I think would look quite cool...

7. A fun quick stitch which is on the to-do list, although I was thinking a row of them would be cool!

6. How about a countdown to Halloween? I like the subtle colours and would probably frame it too, such autumn colours is nice.

5. The next one I would NEVER do its just too plain scary.

4. Not exactly cross stitch but it is stitching and the finished article is pretty nice. Some love for bats!

3. This is called Halloween ride and is adorable...

2. This is more day of the dead but its spooky ish, no? and the bright colours appeal to me.

1. This is colourful, fun and family friendly!

October has begun! Update

Hi there!

So it's October already, how did that happen?

I have to admit that I am looking forward to stitching my Christmas Ornament this month and will be starting that when I finish work today :)

The job that I started five weeks ago now is going well, the people are nice, the work is interesting and I am hoping that it will provide me with some challenges. I have been making an effort every day to leave the house looking my best, it's not a requirement for the job and it's very informal so dress is not specified, but I have found that it puts me in a better mood and I feel better when I make the effort and people are treating me differently a little. I wouldn't have believed it but it's true! So I intend to carry on because I am actually enjoying my new found confidence.

That being said I had a moment yesterday, one that some of you may also have had, and it was so embarrassing!

On Tuesday night I had quite a steamy dream about a former colleague, he still works…
