Found A Bit Of Mojo!!!

I'm still feeling a bit fragile...........not ill..........just not quite myself.
After the call to attend the hospital at 8:30am tomorrow I got another one changing it to 8:00am and then another one an hour later cancelling it altogether so no nasty needles tomorrow. I do wish they would get it over with though if they are going to do it.
I still have to go to the clinic on Tuesday so I shall have a word with the doc and see what is going to happen.

I don't have much energy or mojo for doing crafty things but I have put together a couple of cards using bits I had lying about......not bad for saying that I only went upstairs to sit in front of the heater.......lol!!!
This one is a bit of a mish mash with paper from DCWV, image from June at Art Freebies (link in sidebar), stamp stickers are K&Co Life's Journey and flowers are Prima.

It must have been a bit warmer here today than what they said it would be as the snow is thawing pretty quickly and we have had rain rather than the predicted snow.
It is still very cold though so lots of snuggling still to do.

Hubby went out and ordered our new cooker yesterday. I would have loved a range cooker but if I had one it would mean some major work re-arranging the kitchen which we don't feel able to tackle at the moment. He also bought me some new saucepans.......gorgeous stainless steel with glass lids which I have coveted for ages. The next thing will hopefully be a new stainless steel sink. At the moment I have one of those horrible plastic things that were all the rage when I did the kitchen a few years ago but it's got to that stage now where it is so scratched it never looks clean and I hate it with a passion.

Won't be long now until our little Bean is born.....about four weeks. Crikey...it doesn't seem five minutes since they told us the news. I am getting so excited.

Anyway.....I had best go before I bore you all to death.....lol!!!

A Birthday Card For An Old Lady!!!

WOW........a card at last.
Managed to get hold of DD's birthday card when she wasn't looking. As you can see it was a major birthday...........lol!!!
Papers are all MME. On the card front and numbers they are Bloom and Grow and the background for the numbers is Laundry Line.
Buttons are MME Bloom and Grow.
Numbers are Sizzix die cuts.

I've had a phone call from the hospital today asking me to attend next Monday to have the fluid removed from around my lungs so I will be there Monday and Tuesday next week........great way to spend a couple of days eh? Still, DD is taking me so whatever it is.........it won't be boring if she is with me.

Still have quite a bit of tidying to do upstairs but am distracted today as hubby came home with the Let's Get Crafting crochet pack that I have been wittering about and I am itching to get started. Trouble is that I only have the wool that is in the pack until I can afford to buy some more.

Anyway......I am off to snuggle in my room and will have a play with whatever comes to hand. It's no good me making any kind of plan as by the time I get to the top of the stairs I have changed my mind............or forgotten what I was going to do.....lol!!!

Thanks for dropping by

Made It Home!!!

Well I did make it home yesterday.........eventually!!!
I didn't get the fluid drained because the doctor they have put me under now thinks there may be something wrong with my heart. I have to have another CT scan which I ain't looking forward to and he also wants to check out my kidneys.
So from breathing problems and a badly swollen leg which I thought was maybe a chest infection and a bit of water retention we have somehow ended up at heart problems and I am scared bloody stiff.........excuse the language.
Yet another blow today was reading in the local paper that the village shop where I sell my cards is closing down in the next couple of weeks.
Fabulous start to 2010...........I don't think.

Anyway I am off upstairs for a while to try and have a bit more of a tidy and to see if I can take a pic of DD's birthday card to post.

Thanks for dropping by.

Back To Hospital!!!

..........and I am so not looking forward to it.
One of the problems they found while I was in hospital was that I have a build up of fluid around my lungs which is going to have to come out. To do that means a needle between my ribs. They tried to do it on Thursday but as I am quite well upholstered it was difficult to do it blind so today they are going to use ultrasound to guide them to the site of the fluid.
I am hoping that it will be an outpatient procedure and that I won't have to stay in. Taking my night things with me just in case though.
DD will update you if I do have to stay in.
Thank you so much for all the kind messages, e mails and phone calls which were very much appreciated.
Bye for now

Hi!!!

Hi Ladies
I am pleased to say that I have been let out of hospital for the weekend and have to return on Monday.
I am full of holes from injections and rattle like a skeleton in a biscuit tin with the 22 tablets a day I am having to take but other than that I am not too bad at all.
Thank you so much for all of your good wishes after DD's post yesterday.........she enjoyed doing that so I might have to change my password......lol!!!
There are a couple of family birthday cards needed so I am going to go up to my room and see if I can come up with anything.........if not then hubby will have to go and buy some tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping by.
