Yeh! May is here

01 Tuesday May 2012

I am totally fed up with all the doom and gloom that is in our news. Wettest April in 100 years… and more floods on the way. “Let no man boast himself that he has got through the perils of winter till at least the seventh of May” (Anthony Trollope). Double dip recession for the UK. Airport chaos predicted for this Summer. blah-de, blah-de blah. On a positive note for us ladies

SO VERY TRUE – and my best giggle of the day !

With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and
wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out
to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured,
educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my backside in the mirror I will think,
Good grief, look how smart I am! Must be where ‘Smart Ass’ came from!

Well judging by my bottom I must be a genius!

I have new tangle patterns on the way soon.

 

Out of action for a while

Hi Everyone
I’ve been out of action for a while as I’ve recently had a knee operation, that trimmed, ground down, drilled and flushed out some defects in my cranky knee. Hopefully this will cure an on going pain I’ve had in my knee for over a year now. Meanwhile I’m enjoying the rest and recuperation and hope to get back to some creative thinking soon.
I’ve been re-arranging my Hobby room and playing around with glue, mirror board and Glossy accents. I hope to be making a video of my efforts and post soon (If I can sort out how to do that, any suggestions welcomed).

So Take care all.

Preoccupied!

Hi Everyone

I have been a bit preoccupied over the last few days our youngest daughter is back from Uni for the Christmas holidays. We did a round trip of collecting her from Leeds. 9 hours worth of driving in total. Our car was full of her detritus. I now have a mountain of washing to get through. Well done to my husband – Mic for all that driving AND he was driving slightly injured, when earlier he slipped on ice at a petrol station.

Anyway so all of my crafty activities will be on hold for a while (unless I can sneek some in the mornings before the house awakes.) What with Scarlett’s birthday looming, plus the holidays I have much to do.

Take a look at this amusing website of our beloved animals and how they pay us back for all the love and attention we give them. We love ’em really. (my brother sent me this he has a warped sense of humour, but I did smile at some of these photos)
