1st Day Back At School woohoo

Well Eddie's gone back to school today and he went in no problems after I had worried myself silly all night expecting a massive battle this morning. He had a little fight over the uniform(he put it away twice) but once it was on he was fine even putting his socks and shoes and I was shocked to say the least lol

Having a go at candle making gonna look for some tea cups to make them in ready for mother's day i think i need to change the xstitch in Rachel's Xstitch Creations to handmade doy u guys lol xxx

Finally back to normal

well its been a horrid few weeks As Eddie has had a nasty ear an throat infection he lost his voice for 2 days and stopped eating which was horrid I really would rather be ill myself than the little ones but Eddie especially as he can't tell me whats wrong. To make matters harder my in laws were away so had to rope in the wider family cudn't of done it without them.

so lets see whats been happening that i haven't had time to tell you all :-

1. when his voice returned we had 3 new words Pingu, Picking and Nanny....
2. Had his review at school which was very positive he is doing really well with his swimming and 
    doesn't need 1:1 anymore (which considering he wudn't even go near water before he started in april
    is amazing ) he is using his pecs(picture exchange communication skills) so well he has moved upto
    the next stage using a sentence strip. and they are introducing him to the maths programme as his
    love of numbers is totally apparent. he can put the numbers 1-10 in order and is trying to count
    making a good sound for each number. he has learnt to peddle a bike and is now using the toilet
    rather than pullups cudn't of asked for a better review his targets for the next year are to answer the
    register and to identify his own name. One very proud mummy and daddy here xxxx
3. took Ben swimming for the 1st time with his little pal and his mummy which i was amazed he loved
    we did have a little struggle over the trunks as he didn't understand cas he has to wear nothing in the
    bath and we were going in a big bath lol when i explained he put them on and had a fab time when
    we got home he said 'mummy we must go again' bless him we are goin on monday.
4. Have ordered some new wooden plaques to decorate and make look fab to add to my product range
    pillow orders are comin in at a steady flow and have booked a stall at a local craft fayre in may also
    discussed with the PTFA i am on for Eddie's school the possiblity of paying to have a stall at the
    summer fayre so lots of exciting business things happening.
5. This Thursday just gone Was our 5th wedding anniversery time flies when life's this good xxxxx

Been a funny few days here in my world lol

Well not been able to blog these last few days Eddie has been poorly no voice just when he has started using words confidently he gets a throat infection and looses it poor thing thank goodness for PECS is all i can say.

On the crafty front have been busy with commissions and taking new ones but also been working on my new lines here is a sneaky peek at my new mobile phone/sunglass pouches:-

What do u think I also have some little purses on a string and some little bags to do as well i used felt for the flowers and butterfly and found some cute little buttons to add......

I would really appreiciate peoples opinions on these.

Somebody Stop me I'm on a roll lol

Well I've got some great new ideas to work on.
1. Mobile Phone holders got some cute little motif to sew then i have some cute buttons to add to them
2. Little purses same as above
3.I have loads of glasses that had candles in as i always have sented candles burning and i was begrudged to throw them away soooo I have brought some glass paints washed them all out and have set about painting flowers and butterflys on them
4. Mothers Day have found a simple design that will look good as a pillow or a card so have set about sewing some ready for march inbetween orders

feeling really positive about making this venture work studio is all sorted now and set out for me to work in heater is fab and i've put my radio in there so in the day when my munchkins are at school and hubs is at work i can busy myself away in there.

have updated my website to add my christmas stockings as they sold well and will be adding cards too when i have stitched my full range just finished a cute sweet 16th one which will be great to give to my neice next month.

Eddie update :-

His teacher is still adament he should go on transport but I have put my foot down completely she did not win this mummy knows her little man better than her. He is adjusting to using our story board again and is getting dressed much easier still not heard off the doctor re his sleep meds so will be on a mission with that one next week lol

If you would like to look at my website it is www.rachelsxstitchcreations.co.uk

I am now goin to lie down before I have brain overload lol xxxx

Let Battle Commence!!!!

Well got a busy day today got an order to finish, have my hair done, design a sweet 16 card oh and go fight eddie's corner with his teacher!!!!!

I have a meeting with Eddie's teacher at 2-45 this afternoon and I won't be bullied he is NOT goin on transport and he does NOT get away with murder
yes he sometimes lives life to his own rules but if its not hurtin anyone then y does it bloody well matter I am taking my story board to show her how we get through the day to help Eddie no one tells me i'm a bad mother no one!!!!!!

Am i such a bad mother????

Well I came home from school in floods of tears tonight Eddie is having problems going into school since coming back after xmas I think because there are 3 new children in the class who are all very little and very young (3yrs old) and his teacher came out into the reception and in front of all the other mum's and announced that he should come to school on transport so he leaves me at home as me bringing him is the problem well I as his mother really don't think he would cope at all well with this as they can be sitting in the transport for up to 20 mins while they are unloaded in turn so i am being a bad mother because I won't let him go on transport. she also said she feels he gets away with too much and lives life to his own agenda well yes he's AUTISTIC hun they do live life to their own agenda but he by no means gets away with anything at home we work tirelessly to keep him in a normal routine working with pictures and symbols to help him understand
he's very tired as he doesn't sleep well which won't help and his iron levels are low which again doesn't help with his mood I was soooo angry i have wrote a letter to her explaining all of the above and telling her in no uncertain terms he will not be going in a taxi grrrrrrr
