Hospital appointment...

I finally had my appointment to be discharged by the hospital yesterday, I was able to ask a few questions about what I had been told etc... also put a couple of fears of mine to rest.

I had been told I had a weak back, the surgeon told me that its normal wear and tear on my spine, that my disc's are not as full of fluid like they should be and that my natural curve to my spine was no longer there, meaning that my spine is straight... but quite stable.

I also asked about having further children, should ever it happen! I was told I would be fine ( yet had been told not to before!) I would just suffer more though out pregnancy with back ache. That was a weight off my mind, as I thought it was the end of having children for me.... so should it ever happen my back will be fine!

I also mentioned the numbness in my right foot.... He was concerned that I had lost so much feeling and has asked to see me in 4 months time, which is fine by me. Should I get offered surgery to help it though I do not think I would.... though time will tell. I have become used to my foot not feeling right.... so maybe in 4 months time it will not be such an issue for me.

So in the end it was good news, the whole reason for the surgery was to stop the sciatic pain.... it did that instantly, like being switched off!

A Craft free day....

We have had a lovely day visiting my very dear friends in Bishops Itchington, to help celebrate their eldest daughters 3rd birthday party.

My children really enjoyed every second of the party and loved bringing a goodie bag home.

One highlight for me is that I got to cuddle my friends youngest daughter while she fell asleep on me.... awww so sweet.

Would you believe me when I say this photo was taken by my son??

He is 4 years old!

Its a gem of a picture!

Jumping in on the fun....

I would have added this as my forum picture instead of my angel...

as people have gone pumpkin crazy.

I wanted a little something more devilish!

I am a little devil really!

I found My inner crafter again!

I thought I had lost my mojo for a while, but I think I just needed to take a break.

My Hubby came home with an order for me,

which has inspired me to get card making again.

Below is the requested card,

the only thing I was told is that he wanted his wifes name on it.

So I was free to create! I am really pleased with this finished card.

Having made the large card this morning I decided to carry on with my own personal Christmas cards, below are 4 I have completed today.
I have spent time today putting glitter onto all the images today so they are ready to be used.
I have really enjoyed making these today.
On the card above and below I have used some seed beads to decorate the greetings section of card.
The final card below for today anyway!
Not quite the last of my Christmas cards yet!

Why is it?

Why is it.... people come into our lives and make you change.

They also make offers to you that you hope they will keep.

Then for some reason or another they leave you high and dry.

I for one will have to forget pinning my hopes on people thinking they will help me.

Then they drop my hopes in the bin like a discarded piece of crumpled paper.

I have said it before, you would think I would learn by now

that people let you down without warning.

In the whole process I end up getting hurt and loose my trust in people again!

You do find out who your real friends are in life.

Made these today and finished off the cards

I made these earrings for an order I had,

the customer requested long pink pair and short green pair.

These hoop earrings were my first go at this style,

I think they look quite special.

They are shell tear drops.

These are the same cards as the last entry to my blog,

just that now they are finished with metal greetings.

'Happy Christmas' or 'Let it Snow'

I have also added some wooden shape embellishments that are covered in glitter.

I think they add to the final finished cards.

I am pleased with these final cards, I am sure my children will look forward to giving them to their Daddy.
