Bonfire Night

No stitching tonight as it is Bonfire Night.  We had our 2 small boxes of fireworks and 2 small packs of rockets (BOGOF at Sainsbury's) and thoroughly enjoyed oohing and aahing at them.  It's quite nice actually that the children (12 and 14) still enjoy them as they are only a cheap box.  We went to an organised display last year and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as standing in our back yard doing our own.  With football training and Girl's Brigade, we had a box before and a box when everyone got back so it feels like an evening of them.

Don't forget to sign up for the travelling pattern and/or competition if you would like to.  If you would just like to stitch the pattern, that's fine.  You don't have to enter the competition!!  Comment on this post if you would like to join in the fun!

Nearly missed it!

Today is Guy Fawkes night, bonfire night or fireworks night depending on your age!  We have a small box of fireworks in our garden each year.  Nothing too mad.  Watching the sky around us, I hate to think how much some people must spend....perhaps I'm getting old!

I have been busy trying to get my assignment written today as I'm still not happy with it.  I need to get a move on though as it is due in next Friday.  So unfortunately I haven't managed to take any photos to show.  Maybe tomorrow?
