I cant believe how quickly a year has passed even though it wasnt a shock that the letter arrived in the post two weeks ago because i knew it was coming again. Its time for my yearly breast screening again and im dreading it.

2011-03-22T07:53:00.000Z

Well truth be told since finishing my last dragon dreams design i havent really put much in way of needle to fabric. I have made a start on the head design. I choose a freebie to begin with just to see if i have the patience to really do it and the small piece that i have done seemed to take me a few hours so for me this is going to be a very long project i think. Can you tell what it is yet????

This week we have been working on Leons room again which will soon be Leons room and the games room. It seems to be a long process but it does start to seem like there is light at the end of the tunnel starting to peer through at the end :-) This is what Leons room is going to look like. Where i am standing from taking the photo is where the wall is going to be. As you can see from this photo

He is sleeping at the front end of the house at the momment but he is being moved to the back end.

Today is Leons fight. The day could of not started off worse for me with one of the other parents deciding to have a go at me for no reson at all and think that is perfectly fine when i have done nothing but hey thats life i guess i seem to always get the blame for something i havent done and to be honest these people re not the type worth bothering about anyway.
