A little update

By

 Good morning, it's been a long time since my last post!

My mum has Alzheimer's and it's been a bit of a struggle. So bad that in early July I suffered a breakdown.

Thankfully I contacted the right people for help and I have been slowly getting myself better. I have some lovely carers who look after mum five nights a week and I am now having some day care care - today is the first Tuesday morning and I have four lovely hours to myself.

While I was recovering however a small heart problem was picked up and I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation so time to myself is doubly important now.


Not much crafting has been done except a little beading and knitting - things I can do next to mum. She's not very happy with me and makes me feel extremely guilty for leaving her with a carer but I am determined that I am going to do some papercrafting again!

I do hope you are still out there as I am hoping to start sharing my creations again. I also have a Facebook page so you can join me there too.

Please leave me a comment to let me know you are still there and I will hopefully see you soon - J xx

    Oh Jacqueline, I know that it's the hardest thing not to feel guilty, but don't. You have to take care of yourself so that you can be there for your mum. I look forward to seeing your crafting creations again, but don't rush. Take care, sending love, Deborah xx

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.
