So Loving It.

Waking up this morning was so lovely as I could go and sit in my craft room whilst waiting for hubby to wake up. Walking through the door I could smell my Yankee Candles where we took them out of their boxes. It was wonderful. Only thing now is I don't want to mess it up. lol
But I have too, I need to make 3 gifts with Photos of my best friend Sue who passed away on May 31st from secondary cancer. 1 for my other best friend Maria, 2 for Sues sister Carol and Lesley who was very close to sue and is to Carol.
First thing first I need to print off some photos of Sue, and then make some little accordion books to put the photos in. xxxxx

Its All Done!!

Well done to my daughter Emz, she cleaned and tided all my craft room. Everything has a home again, everything got dusted and a good hoover. Its all fresh, nothing in boxes on my floor so I cant go knocking myself or falling over in there.
I am one happy crafter right now. What can I play with 1st. ???

Preparing Today

Well I woke up this morning feeling like iv slept. Not had that feeling for a long time now. I feel good and fresh. So today I am going to hit my craft room, get the rubbish out in ready for the bin men tomorrow. I will be happy if I just accomplish that. My daughter Emz is coming to me tomorrow and she is going to give me a hand, she will do the lifting and moving items around for me. That will be a great help.
Wish me luck. xx

Christmas Makes So Far

 This is a small list of Christmas Makes so far, it will grow as the weeks tick by.

The Big Tidy Up.

Yesterday I started a spring clean in my craft room, boy its going to be tougher than I thought. I did for about 2 hours and then I physically could not do any more. I am hoping my daughter will come down and offer a hand but if she does I would have to wait for one day next week. I don't think I could cope with leaving my room in that much of a state for all of them days, its the OCD in me.

It has to get worse before it looks any better right? lol . I want to go though all my crates as well so I can sort some stash out for the Cynthia Spencer Hospice and a reminder of what I have.  My daughter Emz bought me an early birthday present of a Christmas kit to make my own Christmas cards this year. I am debating whether or not to take the kit on holidays with me and make them in the van. But I also want to crochet and I cannot take both its too much.

Its Finished.

Good Morning, at last my Cuddle My Puppy, pattern by Sharon Ojala is finished. I so enjoyed creating this, as its for my baby grandson Jacob for Christmas.

Looking at his photo here he looks a little crooked, poor thing. I should have smartened him up for his very first photo shoot. xxxxx

It Was A False Alarm

I was so disappointed yesterday, I had hope and that lasted all of 30 minutes,  I had a tummy attack straight after my breakfast and I was back to square one. Iv never had one first thing in the morning before.  Then it made it even worse I had a second attack after tea. I felt so ill. So in all a very disappointing  day yesterday.  I wish this fatigue and ill feeling would go away, PLEASE!!!!

My Energy Is Coming Back

At last my energy is on its way back! I just hope its not a false alarm. as its done this to me before and I get so disappointed. Fingers and toes crossed today. xxxx 

Painting With Jane Font

Now I can post the good news I seen on my newsfeed this morning on FB, Jane is doing back to basics on small canvas's and your not allowed to spend any more than 90 minutes on one canvas. you have paint every day throughout September, to get what she wants us to get out of it. It was a learning curve for Jane too.
To learn more about it go to this link http://www.paintingwithjane.com/single-post/2017/08/09/30-Days-of-Art

My Day Literally

Iv been working on my blog all day believe it or not. not that you have much choice do you? lol
I tried to make a blog for all my free crochet patterns, to have them all in one place for a change. Instead of in my favourites, FB, Pinterest, jpg, etc. and in doing this I messed up this blog. I was  not happy. I couldn't remember how I got  the 3 columns, of course its advance settings and press layout. but that little penny didn't drop for many hours. grrrrrrr. I couldn't understand how I got there until I did on accident.  It didn't stop there, I could not find this pattern back ground anywhere, by now I was pulling my hair out. Then I seen similar and thought I wonder if this is part of a series and went with my gut feeling and I found it.  AT LAST BY JOE I GOT IT. welcome to my world of confused.com.
now I am bushed.

Its Been a Very Quiet Week

I was hoping to show some of my crafts off this week, but unfortunately I haven't been well. On top of the fatigue I have a kidney infection. I had forgotten how painful they were as not had one in a long while. so hopefully this week I can make a start on my makes. This is what I have to do.......
