I should have prssed the Publish button last Friday, but i have had Blogger problems - non co-operation in inserting images:(
Dt 27th July
It has been an off-week this time. My son has been having tooth-ache for quite some time now(chocolates galore). An ice cream cone in the weekend brought some cold too. Gradually this added some ear ache too (not sure if the molars contributed or the cold). So my son did not go to school Wednesday ( i worked from home), he had an Open House on Thursday(about an hour in school with me talking to his teacher (great reviews on him, btw, and few story books and an activity book) ). Now Wednesday evening i had realised he had Friday off for some festival or the other. That meant i could not go to office as my maid needed off for the said festival. Hrmph, so that meant i had to go to office Thursday second half no matter what. Well (sigh) even though my body felt it was Friday, i did rush to office after the said maid came. Come Thursday night, my body was deadsure it was Friday, and i slept like a log. There were two logs - one me, and one my son. Come Friday morning, and me no better. I SMSed my boss that i plan to take the day off and slept some more. Sleeping like a log is yumm, is bliss, is halleluiah.

OMG, it has been a long time since i went non-stop like that eh?
Here are two pics - one finished - the first for this year (ahem) and HNA - i hope i stitch this tonight:) I hardly stitch any more, refer log hints above
This is MANKA sal, which by the way, i must be the last one to be finishing, and this i made for my son, who has put all his tidbits into it - dice, coins, tiniest toy cars and so forth. To be honest, he has forgotten about it now. It has however found a place in his almirah, and is nestling amongst his t-shirts.
Books - i have still not decided which one to settle with, although i picked 3 - Room, Stranger's Child and Old House on the Corner - i know what you must be thinking - 3 totally varied books. The first is a poignant book, second is an intellectual book and the third is well, neither-of-those book. My son picked SC for me to read, but as i said it is an intellectual book, and i think not a good time at the moment.
Ah, now an upset stomach too
Dt 3rd August
This week my Brother and his family had visited!! His elder daughter who is 6 and my son had fun playing together. I had off from work and overall had a great time with them!
Wishing you all a grand weekend with great stitching time to keep you sane. Funny i am writing this as i hardly stitch these nights
What a cute little bag!
