Hello my lovelies :)

Well it's been a long while since I posted hasn't it?

Things are just so hectic  trying to get in to a routine caring for Mum.  The little time I have had I have sat here and shuffled bits of paper round and gotten nowhere fast!! :( A lot of the time after the basic care my mum just needs company/chat as she is sooo bored and with her not being able to see well she is VERY limited in what she can do. So I have started taking a bit of crochet with me whilst I sit with her and chat. Here is what I've made the last few days...some little hats for the kiddies for winter :)

I do hope you are all keeping well and thanks ever so much for all your continued messages about my mum . Take care all and keep safe and warm in this awful weather we are having at the mo :(

Another little bobbi :)

Hi all, Hope you are all having a good week :) I am!.... I'll tell more after my card .

For this weeks DT card For Digistamp Boutique I've made another card using the adorable Bobbi ....gawd I love this lil Ted so so adorable! Sally-ann has just released some christmas Bobbis too :) :)

I coloured the oh so cute Bobbi with prismacolour pencils

On to my happy news. We are finally setting the wheels in motion foe mum to come home :) we had 2 choices she could go to the stroke rehab centre for 3/4 weeks or come home and receive up to 12 weeks physio at home. All to do with funding I suppose. She left it up to mum to make the decision and she chose home. So we are just getting all the equipment in place. Hospital bed , hoist etc we have had a to take a few doors off downstairs and  once everything is in place care wise she will be saying goodbye to the ward ....It's gonna be hard work and I will be helping care for her but I can't help feeling elated at this point. Mum is so happy and it will be soo nice not to have to trapse up that hospital everyday . So upto now I am :)

Thanks for stopping by today

Finally

Hi all, 

Well at last I have managed to have a bit of me time and make a few cards. This first one is made using one of the lovely Bobbi images from 

Digistamp Boutique

This one is Bathtime Bobbi and you can find him HERE

I thought a new baby card was apt given the new royal prince has arrived safely into the world this week. 

The papers are a very old digi download and are no longer available :(

I coloured the image with prisma color pencils 

and the sentiment I made myself 

Thanks for stopping by today and for all your lovely messages about my mum, We are moving forward slowly and in the next few weeks will be deciding whether she is going to be going to a specialist rehab centre or whether she is going to be able to carry on the rehab from home. I am hoping for home but I suppose it is what ever is going to be best for her in the long term :) :)

Well what a month it has been!

..Hi all, It's been a long time since I had time to post on here and even longer since I have had time to make any cards :(

At the start of last month my mum suffered a stroke. Initially we didn't think it was going to be to bad but then a few hrs after she was admitted to hospital she suffered a big heart attack then she developed a pneumonia. It was touch and go there for a while and the doctors gave us the talk about not resuscitating etc . After 2 days she had made a massive improvement with regard to the heart attack/pneumonia and I think she surprised the doctors :) :). The stroke itself has affected her left side and although she is regaining small movements there hasn't been that much progress so far as she has had a couple of infections since being in there and also developed a blood clot on her lung so up until the last few days she hasn't been receiving much physio. At the moment as well as going in for normal visiting myself and my step dad are trying to go in for atleast one meal time a day each as lets just say the care isn't all that good and it is very worrying. I could go on all day about that so I best not start! 

Anyhow I have had precious little time to do anything other than the usual work/chores/and visit mum. I mostly have to go on the bus and that is 2 buses both around 30 mins travel so I have been taking a bit of crochet with me. I decided to make something small as it would be easier to do on the bus so I made a start on this little guy. 

I just completed him this evening and I am going to take him in to mum to keep her company.

I just need a name ..any suggestions??

The pattern is free from the lovely Emma HERE

I wish I could do a spot of cardmaking on the bus but can you imagine the looks I'd get carrying a huge guillotine on there lol

Thanks for listening to my waffle

Not cards

Beautiful rose

Hi all, 

I hope you are all keeping well. I thought summer had arrived there for a mo...oh well hopefully we will have some more good days before it's winter again..I hope lol

I'm stopping by today to show you are card I have made using some lovely cream card that's on special offer  over at Papermill Direct. It's 270 gsm and you can get a small a4 box right now for only £5 :) :)

The card is actually a much more dark buttery creamy colour than this. It's so dark here I had to take my picture in artificial light and it's bleached it out somewhat. Please pop over to the papermill direct blog HERE and see my teamies creations for a better representation of the colour. :)

The stamp is from Clearly Besotted  Happy Everything set. If you haven't tried this brand yet you'll be blown away by the quality of the products. I coloured the stamp with prisma pencils and simply scored a lattice background on my hougie board.

Thanks for stopping by today

P.S if the offer isn't on the website when this post goes live please pop back onto the site later :)
