I'm Still Here......

 

 
 
 
 
 
Just wanted to let you know I'm still here, and share some loveliness with you....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I bought these Flow magazines with the last of my birthday money, the magazine is fab, fab, fab......full of positive thinking, I'm really enjoying reading it, and I'm trying hard to soak up the messages within it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've spent some of my time sitting here, making these......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To add to this......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I keep plodding on with it, I'm beginning to think it will never get finished!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've received some lovely, very unexpected mail from Zoe.....thank you Sweetie, the Owl has already been 'owl napped' by Eldest Bea!
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
I've been making some birthday gifts for a very good friend of mine.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
And I've popped one of Heathers gift tags on the parcel.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I've enjoyed reading Mollie Makes....love Chloe Owens home!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm struggling a little at the moment, but trying hard to keep a positive attitude. I'm having to readjust again. Being diagnosed with MS has changed so much of my life, and some of that has been positive. But it's also taken away some of the choices that I had. Over the last few weeks I've found that very difficult.
 
 
I have so much in my life that is good, so many lovely friends and supportive family, and I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for the support I have here too. I suppose I just need to acknowledge and grieve some of the things I've lost. Simple really. Acknowledge the loss, then move on. Not so easy in practice. But one thing's for sure, I know I'll get there in the end, I always do.
 
 
This weekend I'm going to try and visit as many as your wonderful blogs as I can, you inspire me so much. There's always something positive to read, to see.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
Hope you all have a great weekend....it feels a bit spring-like here today, and for that I'm very, very grateful!
 
 
 
 
Bye For Now,

Bit Of This.....And That!

 
 
 
Well Hello!
 
I can't believe we are well into February already, our January was whirl of paint and paintbrushes! There are still bits and bobs to finish, I'm thinking of drawing up a snagging list, otherwise we won't get things finished!
 
Do you have this problem, almost finish a room, but there's always something that you never get around to sorting.....bit of skirting that needs painting, mirror that needs hanging!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Anyway, yesterday I was determined to complete something....so out came the Vintage Wallpaper.....
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
And out came the glue, just your average PVA glue, not the more expensive Modgey stuff......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And Lionel got a makeover.....it think he's OK with it, although a tin of baked beans was throw out of him yesterday, so perhaps not!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All the family approved.....I'm thinking of just adding a teeny, tiny Pom Pom garland, but it might take me a while!l
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This week I've also managed a bit of hooky time in the conservatory, whilst the sun was shining, have you noticed how the days are getting a little lighter, the birds are waking a little earlier? I have, and I'm happy!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sometimes I just spread this out on the table.....I'm about a third of the way through, wonder when this will get finished?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've also opened up my Etsy shop again. Now I was thinking of closing permanently but I've had lots of emails, so I'm opening it up again, but just for a short while. So I will add more FQs as and when, drop me a line if you have any particular requests, and I will try and help if I can.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh, and I'm really enjoying drinking freshly brewed coffee, I've treated myself to a new mug.......although these are getting a tad too expensive so I might have finished with the CK mugs, unless of course they are in the sales!
 
 
Thank you as always for your support, I'm trying to keep on top of replying to your comments....not always doing a good job though.....I start well, but don't always finish. Hmmm.....that sounds familiar.....
 
 
Bye For Now,
