Just a quickie

Afternoon Bloggers. What a chilly miserable day it is here. Where is our summer??? I want to know NOW!!!

So now I've stamped my feet  foot I'll share with you this quickie card (pre-leg again) that I made for a lovely lady who had a birthday yesterday. Again a stencil with dreamweavers paste, a bit of bling, and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

Hope she liked it.

As for the leg. Well thankfully its not a DVT so our trip to China in 3 months should still be OK.

Back tomorrow with a fabby quick bag I knitted up at the hospital yesterday.

Remember that Cardi???

Evening Folks. Do you remember the cardi I made for my Grand-daughter earlier in the year in a beautiful deep coral bamboo type yarn, and how it only fitted where it touched. Well here is the bigger version. This time a much better fit.

This one is knitted in Robin 'Jelli Been' DK and is an acrylic/polyester blend. Beautifully soft. Anyway the little recipient was a very happy bunny when she saw it and travelled home in it.

Here is a close up of that intricate but easy peasy knitted edge and below a picture of it on my beautiful grand-daugher. She is a love and was being very caring of her Grandma  yesterday after I'd spent several hours at A & E with this blooming leg.

In a nutshell, the lower part of my leg keeps managing a lovely shade of Adirondack Eggplant. Not sure why. Had to attend the ward today and I need to go back in tomorrow for an ultrasound and maybe more investigations. In the meantime they are treating me for a possible DVT but are not convinced that this is what is wrong. Hey Ho!!!

On a positive note, our beautiful labrador seems to be improving although secretly I think she's after my crutches. She keeps giving them the 'eye'.

BTW my grand-daughter calls them my crunchies.....LOL
I could spend all day living on crunchies ...mmmmmm

Home Alone....Again!

Happy Saturday everyone. The sun is shining here in Bradford again and I'm sharing a sunny card with you which I made, pre-leg, for a lovely crafting lady who had a birthday yesterday.

The flowers are a digi image which I coloured with copics, mounted onto some DP and added a twist of ribbon to finish.

Update on my labrador. The vet wasn't overly concerned, she thinks the fall has just aggravated her arthritis. However, I wasn't aware she had any arthritis to her hind legs. So we'll up her analgesia for a few days and see if that does the trick. As for the lump, I suspect its a haematoma (bruise) as its quite mobile.

Anyway, home alone again, but this time I have been left with a fantastic slave carer. My #2 Son is being a gem and I couldn't deny hubby a day off to go to the footie, especially as the other evening's trip out went awry when #2 Son came home poorly and hubby had to turn around and return home. So he's vacuumed, walked the dog and even provided lunch c/o the local buttie shop.

Enjoyed watching the Olympic swimming this morning, anyone else tuning in.

Such a Sweetie

Good Morning, a sunny day at last. The dullness has gone for now.

I'm sharing this cute little card which I have made (pre-leg) for the little girl next door. She has a birthday on Sunday. This is one of the digi images from the Funky Kits people. They are a dream to colour with your copics.

Hubby has just popped out to take our beautiful labrador to the vets. She has been struggling of late with her arthritis but a cocktail of anti-inflammatories and analgesia has been keeping her very comfortable. However, she still insists on climbing the stairs and unfortunately yesterday she managed to fall down a couple. So having monitored her overnight we noticed she was still limping this morning and a lump has appeared on her hind leg. So off to see the wonderful Sal who will, I'm sure, sort her out.

As I sit here writing my blog I can see a very sad looking labrador/greyhound cross who can't understand where big 'sis' has gone. Wait! Big 'sis' has been forgotten in preference of a bit of sun-bathing....so fickle...

Hope you all have a good day and I'll see you soon, x
