Todays first layout.....

The completed purse....

Here is the completed felt purse :)

Felt purse.....

Abigail and I stitched a little felt purse last night, from a craft kit I had bought at Michaels ($1.50 in the sale and it makes a purse, necklace, bracelet and ring!) Abby did really well stitching a lot of it herself...it was a great introduction to sewing for a 5 year old!

Saturdays sleepy start....

Lloyd and Chris have gone into town to have their hair cut.....I am slowly waking up. We slept in until after 9am and then sat and watched tv in bed for a while....nice lazy start to the day.

Now its 11:30am and Abigail is sat in the big chair beside me doing math! I have to vacuum....but I'm not awake yet properly so not sure my poor little brain can handle the noise.

Laurence threw a stick....no, a BRANCH up on the garage roof and now has to figure out how to get it down.

Sam is playing connect 4 with Laurie right now.....

No plans for today at all. It's a 3 day weekend and we don't have plans so its lovely. Its cloudy and looks as though it could rain soon........Its nice because its cooler than it has been.

I think I might scrapbook.

Oh good news - Mom will be interested - I got ALL my Imitrex yesterday 100!!!! that means I have enough for 200 migraines :) This is good news........It would have been $1000 for these tablets so thank goodness for insurance! I got all for $25 :)

Imitrex is such an expensive medication. My Mom bought 2 for me in the UK and paid about $20 just for the two tablets!! But my insurance for migraines finally came through so I could get the prescription. First of all they would only let me have 28 at a time but the Pharmacist worked his magic and phoned me up to say he managed to get them all for me :) - I have a GREAT Pharmacist....his wifes an accountant so he's always reminding me to keep the prescriptions because they are tax deductable :)

Anyway, Lloyd came home with a big bag of Imitrex for me and I am very very happy :) You have NO idea how this tablet has changed my life over the last few years :) and hopefully with the other million tablets I pop every day I won't actually need to use an Imitrex very often anyway.

Ok - I am off to scrapbook I think! I found the perfect page to go with the lyrics from Unwritten.
