Why?
Well, I got some great bargains today for schooling Joe. I was in the local charity shop and there were some unused workbooks at 50p each. Considering these are usually around £4-£5 to buy, I was VERY happy with them. I also got this fab fold out history of Rome book, which I know he'll love!
He got his first watch today as well. He's had a little 'learn to tell the time' one that belonged to his brother when he was small, but today we took Joe to get his own.
The one he chose was the cheapest out of the ones he was shown but he is SO pleased with it, he even wanted to wear it to bed!
I'm so pleased for him.

Stitching wise, I haven't had alot of time to get on with the Mario sampler, but I thought I'd put up an update to show the progress so far:
It's a fun design to work on though and I think if I could sit at it for awhile, I'd actually get some good progress going on it, but anyhow, at least I'm enjoying it.

It's looking great. The characters have got really cheeky faces!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute Kim. Reminds me of the Mario game my kids used to play when they were so little. By the way, one of them is also "Kim" (short for Mikhail with the first three letters I spelled backwards) he's the younger, 19 years old now. How I miss the days when they were so little and so naughty, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGood for your bank balance, unlike with me, my wallet was crying, the reason I will post in my blog soon.
:-)
Thanks both.

I do love these characters and it's fun to stitch.
I hope it's a happy reason for the crying wallet Toni, like new stash!!
I'll be looking out for the details on this story now, haha.
:)
I love your Mario stitching! It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteSee it brings back memories of playning that game when I was younger.
Glad you're enjoying it. Can't wait to see your next update. :)
