11/11

My thoughts are with everyone who have lost loved ones or who currently have loved ones who are not with them.

Good news and bad news

Yeah! - A decision has finally been made about the injury to my shoulder

Boo! - I have to have an operation


Finally after injections, pain killers, anti-depressants, physiotherapy, scans, x-rays  and sleeping tablets I have been given a diagnosis. The sudden jolt caused by the car crash caused whiplash and now that the symptoms of that disappeared it revealed a FROZEN SHOULDER! I have not been able to comb my hair, get dressed, dry myself after getting out of the shower, do any ironing and loads more stuff. Even carrying a cup of coffee in my right handf has been almost impossible.

I have been told that I could wait several years for it to improve by itself and then it is not certain that I would get my full range of movements back OR I could have an operation that could give me back about 90% of my movements. Either way I am to expect not to have the mobility that I had before the accident.

Because I wont be able to do much crafting after the op, I have been making the most of it now. Here is one of the cards that I made today. It is now for sale in my web-shop

Christmas Fair

Good Evening

I am getting really excited and really nervous at the moment. The tiny village where I live have just announced that they are holding a Christmas Fair. Graham decided it would be a fanastic idea for me to go and sell/exhibit some of my cards. I agreed that it sounded like a good idea until......... I saw the size of the table that I will be given to show my items. Its ENORMOUS!!!!! I am going to be spending an awful lot of time crafting over the next few weeks. I managed to complete 4 cards to day but that is only going to take up a tiny corner of the table.

Here is one of the cards that I made today. Hope you like it.

New ETSY Shop

Good Evening Everyone

I have finally done it!!!!

I have managed to set up an Etsy Shop. (Well, Graham has) If all is working OK then you should be seeing some of items from the shop in the side bar to your right. There are a lot more items in the shop than those that are shown so plese visit it and then let me know what you think about it.Any suggestions for improvements are greatly appreciated. Etsy shop.

Etsy Shop!!!

Just a very quick post tonight. I have been having difficulties with my web-shop host and so have decided to change my shop to Etsy. I remember how long it took to set up the original shop and so I have been putting off changing it for a while. Please bear with me for a few days until it is up and running. I will keep you updated to its progress.

Have a good Evening

Halloween

Good Evening All

It has been a terrible day today - weatherwise! I have lit the fire and me and Graham have sat in front of the tv all day, with a blanket and endless cups of coffee. PussKat has dragged her blanket infront of the fire and has been laid there, only ocassionally getting up to go and hunt for some treats. BLISS!!!

I know its not Halloween just yet but I am trying to get ahead in my card making. I always seem to be on the last push when any event comes along, even though many of them are on the same date every year.

 

I just love these cool monsters and I thought they would look good as a 'gang'. They are digi downloads and have been coloured using my copics pens (I had to buy a load of refills to top the all up). The 'happy halloween' sentiment was made using my computer. All papers are from my stash. The inside of the card has been decorated to compliment the front. This card will soon be for sale in my web-shop.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

more physio!!!!!!

I am now getting fed up with being restricted with the things that i can do because of my shoulder. The physio is working like mad on it (Bless her!) but even though the whiplash symptoms seem to have eased the pain and restrictions in my shoulder have become worse.

Graham has been sent to America for 2 weeks and so i am trying to spend the time in sorting out my craft room. He phoned last night to say that there is a 'michaels' quite clsoe by and did I want anything. What a question!!!!!! The problem is i don't know exactly what they sell and their website is not very helpfull. I have just told him to suprise me.

Todays cards:

 

.... made using mo manning digital download of a boy holding up an enormous cat - Tolerence. These cards are available from my web shop.

 

 

Enjoy your evening
