About Me

My photo
I retired on March 11th 2014 after 26 years as a doctors receptionist. I am now looking forward to the freedom to enjoy my days doing anything I wish to. Spending time with family, catching up with friends. Playing in my Scrappy Shack, scrapbooking, cardmaking, art journalling, quilting, gardening, baking. Spending wonderful times with my beloved other half. I am so looking forward to this time in my life.

WOYWW



Here  it is, my new toy/challenge.....

My gift from Ralph, I cannot keep up with the man.
From the moment I put my name down to make a quilt of Jo's Lilli-Bo Quilts, everything went mad. I went up to Sew Simple up at Lady Heyes to peruse and stroke the material up there and ask about sewing lessons and the next minute, Ralph is ordering this little beauty for me. I bought some lovely fat squares up there to play about with. So Yes Donna it is was a sewing machine:) It arrived last night and I cannot wait to have a play with it.

Just pop over  to Mrs Dunnit's and have a look around world wide workdesks and be inspired.

Happy WOYWW

It Was Great News!!

Thank you for you prayers and thoughts, I am so much more than grateful.
Clair got Great News, the wide excision was clear of cancer!  Yes I am smiling broadly today.
She must have check ups every three months for five years, so we know she will have the best of chances of beating Malignant Melanoma

So it is onwards and upwards now, I can relax and begin to enjoy this new year.  Everything has been on hold really since November when I took ill and then a doctor felt a couple of Clair's moles were looking suspicious. She has had seven remved and one was malignant.

So we are both looking forward to getting on with life and living to the full.  So watch this space, crafting is near the top of my To Do List!!

Thank you so much for your kindness xxx

PS I have been trying to thank everyone who commented but Blogger is not letting me do do on some blogs, so please accept my thanks from here, thank you with love xx

Not WOYWW

This is Not the usual WOYWW Post and I apologise if my post offends anyone.
I am requesting Prayers and Positive thoughts  today for my beautiful daughter Clair as she goes for the results of her wide excision biopsy. Her appointment is at 3pm so if you can spare 30 seconds your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you.

WOYWW

This is me trying to get my MoJo back, noseying at other workspaces is a great way to gain inspiration. Mind you on saying that, mine isn't at all today, but I am getting back in to the phenomenon that is WOYWW and will try to do better in the coming weeks.









Now to pop over to Mrs Dunnit's place where the magic begins...http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

New Year Hopes

Happy New Year.

I am hoping with the new year comes new inspiration to get back to crafting.  I have done nothing for months and have been wanting to sell all my crafting stuff.  But since my health scare my family are insisting I try to get back to it. So here I am making a start. I am looking for inspiration and motivation out here in Blogland so if you have any to spare, please send it my way.

Thanks

Sheilagh :)
