update

So I go from blogging everyday to once a week :) just dont have anything interesting to say....
I have done the WC over at UKScrappers

 
 
Still need to do my December pages- but I am working my way through my mental list quite well.
I have started the first week of the OU course, so I am ahead as it only started officially today.
Finished knitting Evies cardigan- yes lynne- mum sewed it up for me :)

....and finally I will answer Lynnes questions from Lucky Scrapping...
What makes you happy? 
My family make me happy- most of the time :) I am happy with my own company and love to craft or knit which has become a joy since learning a few years ago.
Are you ever happy for no reason? Why?
I would say more like content, I often would like change, but can live as we are for now...we talk about updating things but we are ok. Simple things make me laugh- which Richard finds amusing- simple mind eh??lol
What are you busy doing this week?
As I am a bit behind- what happeed this week was doing a layout, doing a little knitting, getting cross with the weather. I went to schools achievement assembly and started my OU course.
What do you want, wish for? Are you good at demanding what you want like children do?
It could be a long list of what I would like, but I think the one thing I would like at the moment is a warm holiday abroad....I havent been abroad since getting married and the kids would love to go on an areoplant....demanding like a child- yes it has been known but I only demand what is achieveable and I wouldnt dream of kicking and screaming in the supermarket, lol.

Thanks Lynne :)

Love the mohican snowman! Yes I chose a warm holiday too, I think it's all that snow that makes us long for some warmth.

What a beautiful sweater! I used to knit years ago but I was never good to enough to make something like that. I usually stuck to scarfs! Love the snowmen!

Do you miss blogging every day? I think it is a bit nicer to not feel the pressure to keep it up but other times I miss a catch up from everyone.
I think being content is really good, sometimes happy today may mean sad tomorrow, content is good especially with a family and all the needs they have xx

Lynne said...

I agree with Kathi, I understand you are so busy but was worried when you hadn't blooged too xxx

I love your news and daily photos of the family. That cardi is fantastic, so lovely and sparkily too, bet Evie is thrilled :)

Wouldn't we all love a warm holiday abroad :) Sadly our saving power has diminshed so we too have to watch out pennies, but health and family should be what makes us happy, thank you for answering my questions...off to blog now!!

Hello Helen, I too have been relieved about the daily blogging pressure but feel a bit out of the loop, not helped by a manic 10 days at work either. I am interested to hear about the OU course, I hope you will tell us a little more as it goes on.

Loved the snowmen photos and will look forward to seeing young Harry as well soon. Evie looks gorgeous, she is so photogenic :) xx
