February 2014 - My Month in Numbers

It is time to join in again with Julie Kirk's My Month in Numbers

Finally the announcement of the dates for next year's Marillion conventions was made, so I now have some countdowns for next year.  Only 381 days to the European convention in the Netherlands and 402 days to the UK convention.  My other countdown is to my big birthday in August only 177 days to go.

2 pieces of happy post -

1 lovely pendant for Valentine's day to always remind me of my love of the sea - beautifully handcrafted by the Tartan Trout.

1 beautifully wrapped parcel containing 1 lovely tshirt from Dash which I had won in a Facebook giveaway (and yes I have carefully saved that beautiful ribbon!!)

Craftwise I have been fairly busy making 1 bracelet, 4 layouts, 10 Christmas cards and 12 other cards

I have also been busy baking and made 2 batches of cookies, 1 Victoria sandwich cake, 1 coffee cake and 1 Dundee cake ready for 2 get-togethers in March - thank goodness for a large chest freezer.

I'm back in the swing of things with blogging again and managed to notch up 16 blog posts

The big highlight of February was the ball held for the families that are helped by the charity that I volunteer with.  Over 200 people enjoyed the evening which included a lovely 3 course meal, entertainment from the Pentacle drummers, a Lady GaGa impersonator and disco, plus mingling with Captain Jack Sparrow and Disney princesses.

So that rounds up my February - if you want to join in with Month in Numbers then find out how right here
