My Few of My Fave Things!

Hello my lovelies!

I hope that I find you all well today.  First up I want to say a massive huge thank you to everyone for the lovely emails, phone calls and  comments with regards to my Pops and Mum…..means a lot and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Pop’s is still in hospital and he is being to transferred to one nearer to his home….still a million miles from us, but a least its is closer to his home and friends can visit much easily….plus at least we can now stay at his house.  He has been having some intense Physio this last week and is making some good progress.  His walking is improving slowly, which is good and his eyes are too, they have fitted a film to his glasses and that is helping loads and he feels lots better now he can see better.  I have absolutely no idea when is will be out of hospital and they are now talking of sending him to a rehab facility to help with his recovery, but that is not yet for definite, so will have to wait and see.

As for Mum, well she is sat waiting to find out if her op is going ahead cos it should be tomorrow and well with all these strikes…..who knows what will happen tomorrow……..I tell you, if its not one this its another at the minute………

I feel so out of sorts its untrue and I just want a little normality, but I can not see that coming anytime soon…….to top things off we came home on Sunday to find the fridge freezer had gone and died, ………how rude!…….and the darn thing fused the whole house :o(……I am now living out of a cool box….thankfully it is electric so everything is chilled…..but I need to make a trip to Curry’s to get a new one, I have looked online but I need to see them in the flesh…..when I will do that is anyone's guess LOL……not even bought a single Christmas present yet :o/

Anyway, today I felt a little sorry for myself, and wondered what I could to cheer myself up a bit and thought that I would have a walk around the house and take pics of a few of my fave things that make me smile each day…..by the time I have finished I felt a little better about things and there were one or two little smiles that creeped up on my face :o)…….I thought that I would share them with you.

Now I have a new app on my iphone and I love it!……its called Hipstamatic……and it is way cool.  It changes the way your pics look and gives them a real vintage look…….

…….if you click the picture it will go bigger, so you can see it better.  The little roses are sugar roses that I  made a few weeks ago…..been practising ready for when I make my next cupcakes etc.   I have a few custom order in December to do….and really looking forward to doing them. 

There is a little pattern forming amongst the pictures, don’t you think LOL………yes, I do love spots and red LOL………even my little slippers are spotty LOL………and you may also notice that I have put my Christmas Tree up too LOL…….well I needed a little pick me up and well what a fab way to do it by putting your tree up.  It is early I know, but who cares ………..NOT ME!!!!!!!

Anyway, I have been doing a little crafting here and there……..I actually made a card today, woohoo!……which I will blog tomorrow…..plus I have been crocheting……..really finding the crocheting very therapeutic and plus it is easy to transport about with me….especially on road trips to the hospital…its a 6 hrs round trip :o(…..a gal needs a bit of calmness in her life at the moment and the crocheting is so providing that :o)

Here are a few little things I have been working on…….Lip Balm Cosies, which includes a lip balm inside too………..aren’t they cute!

Most of the buttons are from my stash, with exception of the two spotty ones,  pink and red ,are from The Ribbon Girl.....

These are For Sale…….they are £4.50 plus £2 P+P {they are quite chunky, and so have to go as a parcel, but you can get a few in an envelope for £2}……..they measure about 7.5cm long {excluding clip} and 2.7cm wide, so they are quite chunky.

They clip onto your bag/purse, keys etc, so no more hunting around in your bag for your lip balm LOL.

If anyone is interested in any of them then please contact me HERE……also I can take custom orders for them too :o) 

 

Well I think that is it for today…….thanks for stopping by…….I know I have been a shocking blogger for quite some time now, and I am really sorry about that, but hopefully things will change soon :o)
