My feet haven't got any worse or any better so that's a fairly good sign. Generally I feel ok, a little down but nothing serious. Hopefully my cheerful self will return soon.
I have finished my Advanced bookmark on 28ct ready for the teaching day and now I have to start the Intermediate one. I have the "terrible" chore of stash shopping tomorrow for the items to kit out my charts - such a shame - not sure I'll cope LOL
I have done some of my new UFO, a bit of a slow start but I have now completed the cross and hope to get more of the cream finished later tonight. It's St George and so far I have completed the shield and the cross on the horse drapes. It's a bit weird stitching it as when I started it (over 5 years ago) I used to stitch \ / but now I stitch / \ so I am frogging a bit as I forget oops :(
I have started my Totally Useless SAL - this is a picture of my lovely IKea jar and a few pieces of thread inthe bottom. The first official reveal day is May 24th, hopefully it will have a few more bits in by then. 
That's about all for today - no news about DS. I am off to the school prom on Thursday in my lovely dress I bought earlier in the year. I'll try to get some photos to show off my new figure.
Thanks for reading my news.

WELL DONE!!!!
The bookmark looks great, not long till you are a famous designer and teacher :-)
UFO looks good, i stitch / \ doe sit make a difference if you are lefthanded??
Great job on the weight loss! Woot!
I could do that stash shopping for you, if you'd like!
I stitch \ /. Always have. You can turn the pattern & fabric a quarter turn and stitch 'sideways' and you'll line up with the old stitching. Did I explain that enough?
Well done on the weight loss,I think the SW programme is a good one. Love the bookmark. Enjoy the prom looking forward to seeing the piccies of the 'new' you..
I've always stitched / \. I read somewhere that one way is the traditional European way and the other is the American way, but for the life of me I can't remeber which was which :)
Love your Hardanger bookmark
