As I started the 'four things Friday' posts I've decided to stick with it, this week's is a list of things that have been happening lately.
1. Embroidery! I was inspired by a blog I discovered a few days ago, particularly this post, I just love the doodle style heart. So I dug out my embroidery threads and aida from when I used to cross stitch, and using a book I bought before Christmas I began practising stitches. Excuse the appalling phone snap, I will get a better photo when I complete it. I added on another coloured section yesterday and hope to make some more progress today. I can definitely see me embroidering a bit more, even if just to use up some of this floss that has been sitting around unloved for about 7 years *blush* I have embroidered small things in that time and always planned on stitching truly pretty items (hence buying the stitch dictionary) but it's just not happened yet.
2. I am feeling somewhat at a crossroads in my life right now. I'm having major life changes thrown in my direction and I am just not sure which way to go, after an initial stress out over the thought, those same changes are now looking more appealing. It would change everything however, and I'm just not sure I am brave enough for that yet.
3. Sadness. I can't really explain why at this moment in time, but I am certain it shall be explained in due time.
4. Half term. My boys are currently off school for the week and we have done nothing exciting at all. We've hidden in the house because my health hasn't been great, and a lack of funds means I can't just throw money at them to entertain them. Instead we've been playing games, watching films, and being silly. I am planning a treat for them at the end of the month though, they're really quite well behaved children and I'm very fortunate. It feels a little bit like a waste of a week but at least they will be going back fully rested up which my youngest definitely needed.
I'm now trying to think of other week day alliterations I could do as they are quite interesting :D

Friday Four
I was inspired to do this post by a beauty blog I regularly peruse A Little Obsessed who has a similar kind of idea, and thought it would be fun to share four 'somethings' with you all on a Friday.
This week I have four things I've been drooling over online, honestly if any of these made their way into my greedy hands I would be thrilled!
I am a reader. I've often had other obsessions, such as scrap booking, cross stitch, graphics, make up and so many more, but I have always, always adored reading. Coupled with the fact that I have developed a new love of coffee makes this mug awesome for me. Sitting down with my Kindle or a book and a cup of coffee is a perfect way to relax in my mind.
Yes, it is another mug, from the same website but I honestly cannot choose between them! The first one would be ideal for when I need a time out from the boys, not that youngest would be able to read it yet, hehe, and I know that the bloke would get a chuckle out of making me a coffee in this one. I know it is certainly apt...
Does this one really need any explanation? Hilarious stickers for my boring white light switches that would show I do have a fun side, sometimes. I am mad about them, and already know which eight light switches I'd funk up with all of them. I'm finding it hard to resist ordering them right now...
I need a cover for my Kindle, desperately, as I am a bit clumsy and like carrying it around with me in my bag. This one is just beautiful with it's bright fabric. Etsy has a huge range of handmade covers by lots of different sellers but this is the one for me. I don't really need it as I am more than capable of knitting one, but oh my gosh I waaaant it! So much more attractive than the fugly leather ones Amazon stocks for the Kindle.
What four things should I share next? Hmmm... I better put my thinking cap on...
