I have always been a dreamer, hide my head among the clouds

There is an upside to being downed by a cold - I lost almost 4 lbs this week which puts me just shy of 20 - who knew sleep and Nyquil are as good as a few days at the gym!

To Victoria - yes I would definitly recommend Victorian Lace today for newbies - there are a lot of simpler lace scarf patterns that are lovely. I have a few marked off that I plan to make.

and because I did spend the last few days in bed and haven't got a lot to say, I stole this from another blog:
