My picture is a day late, sorry   I don’t really have that much of an excuse for it, other than the pesky migraine that has haunted me for the last week. I would say that it finally seems to have gone, but that might be pushing my luck somewhat.

I’ve also been spending some time cleaning and stripping the wallpaper off the wall to replace it.  I love love love the paper that is up, but sitting in the corner beside it, it feels dark and closed in.  The room in general is big enough to carry the black paper off, but I’m just fed up of feeling like I’m in the dark.  The new paper is very pale grey with a black/silver flower/paisley design.  Will take photos when it’s all done, will look nice.

So I finally completed all the x’s on page 1 of the Cut Thru Princess Palace, and did the mountain of backstitching.  I think that took me longer than the crosses did!  Okay so I exaggerate, but you can see just how much of it there was.  To the left of page 1, I’ve started the next page (page 4 of the pattern), and the little bit I did is Prince Charming climbing up to take the hand of the fair Princess.  Or something like that.  You’ll be pleased to know that as of tonight he is no longer headless.

On a final not so pleasant note, but one that I feel is somewhat necessary.  A while ago I set up an IP restriction on my blog and the rest of the sites I hold, blocking someone out.  I’m not going to say who it was, only that I no longer felt comfortable.  I’m not going to go into the reasons behind that feeling either.

However, somehow the block was removed, probably during the emergency server maintenance that went on, and said person came back in.  So what I’m going to say is this… if you are back in and you are reading, please go away.  I have my reasons, and I’m sure deep down you know them too.  Stop visiting, stop emailing, just leave me be.
