I'm back!!!

Hello everyone!

I'm Back! and better than ever, Hehehe!

I have missed you all lots!
 I had a brilliant holiday though! :0) The apartment we stayed in was nice and had a great view of the sea and the water park was very fun, we went rock pooling and snorkeling quite a few times too!

This was the view from our balcony:


and here is a picture of the water park:


In the end I was brave enough to go on all the slides :)

This is one of the beaches I visited:


The water was quite clear and contained lots of fish and little creatures, I went floating round on my lilo wearing a snorkel, exploring! I kept creeping my dad out by saying 'I can see a hermit crab' and 'Whats that thing?', he's not as keen on the creatures of the deep as I am, he worries he will tread on them and get stung/bitten etc...! :0)

I can't blame him though, I did see some pretty odd marine life, such as this centipede type thing:


I think he is quite cute in his own way :)...?

In the rock pools there were lots of crabs and some baby hermit crabs too, which, of course I took pictures of to show all you lovely people!



I also manged to fit in a lot of crafting (post coming soon :) and bought loads of good stuff from the local shops such as a realllly cute hello kitty backpack and pair of shoelaces, some little hair clips and some bargain bracelets which had loooaaddsss of beads on which I am going to cut up and use for crafting :)

I also bought some stuff for a giveaway which I will be posting up soon, it has just been pretty hectic first day back. My GCSE results were meant to be posted to me, as I was away but there was a mix up and they weren't (I did find a little thank you card in the post though from Laura from Cute crocheted creations for the gift I sent her for her wedding, which you can see on her blog. That made me smile, thank you Laura!)

In the end I had to go to school to try and get them, thankfully the exams officer kindly came in especially for me, to sort them out :-)

I got:

English literature= A
English language= A
Maths= A*
Biology= A*
Physics= A*
Chemistry= A*
Citizenship= A*
RE= A*
PE= A*
Geography= A*
Business= A*
Food tech = A*

I was soooooooooo happy! I really wanted to get straight a's and was really nervous but in the end I managed to do even better than hoped, I cried when I saw the sheet! :D My family were thrilled too and to celebrate they are treating me to pizza and ice cream tonight, mmmmm...,

Yum! :P

I am a VERY happy bunny! =:0)

I also got to go to my knitting group today :) ( I will post about that soon as well)

I think I need too go and lie down now though, I have had a lot of excitement today and I didn't get back till about 1:00am this morning so I think I definitely need to relax a bit before my next dose of excitement, my pizza and ice cream spectacular! 

See you all very, very soon!

Bye xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(p.s thanks to Cucki for looking after wooly! Lol :-)


Bye <3

I finally found a crafting group :D

Hi!

Today I went to a knit and natter group at my local library and it was really fun! I can't wait to go back :) I have to wait two months though as I'm on holiday for the next months meet.

I took along my DAL project (the cherry blossom wristlets/gloves) and managed to get quite a lot done, even though I was chattering away and munching on biscuits!

Many of the women there (who were all lovely and very interesting!) were making baby clothes so when I go back I'm going to bring the Rowan Kids winter clothes knitting book I got for getting my letter in a knitting magazine for them to have a look at and use the patterns. I haven't got any kids yet (and probably won't have for a while!) so I don't really need it :)

The group is also helping to make a very, very, very long string of bunting to be hung up locally in celebration for the Olympics coming to London so I get to help with that :D

Oooh I don't think I can wait two months!

See you soon,

Bye xxx
