In need of some cheering up.

By
I've just got back from visiting my mum and dad. Dad's been having some more of his chemo treatment. He also has to have some radiotherapy as his cancer has moved to his neck. It's been very hard this last visit as my poor old dad has had to have 12 teeth out to prevent any infection via his teeth to the bone in his jaw - he's been in a lot of pain to say the least.
So I got home late last night - missing Valentine's Day with my husband only to find that he would be leaving for Stockholm at 4am this morning, it's our wedding anniversary tomorrow too and we will miss it.
Hopefully we can celebrate when he gets home on Friday.
I did manage to do a little crafting today as my friend Louise came round to play. We had decided that we would try and make the Moving Pictures card from this month's Craft Stamper mag - I will show you the results of that tomorrow - it's safe to say that I probably won't be making it again any time soon as it was quite a complicated tutorial to follow.
Any how - on a lighter note here is a picture of what my husband bought last week to decorate our bedroom with


I said it looked like a giant brayer - my husband enquired whether I would like to brayer one of my scenes on the bedroom wall? No I replied - they don't make big enough post it notes to make my moons!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    I've just seen your post on my reader Jacqueline. I'm so sorry that your dad's having such a rough time and it must be hard for you too. Glad Louise was able to come round and cheer you up and I'll look forward to seeing the results of your labours! I expect you'll be hard at work on the brayered scene in time to surprise your husband on his return...! Take care, Vicky x

    Jacqueline I'm so sorry your Dad is having such a horrible time and I know how awful it is to see them suffer and be unable to do anything. The rest of your post made me giggle! That's a lot of brayering to get to grips with:) Take care

    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and that you will miss out on spending your anniversary with your husband. Brayering a scene on a bedroom wall... now there's an idea!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
