<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>HI All</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>what a couple of weeks, I said before about my little Freebie having her op, well she went in Tuesday, I got a call from the vets they did routine bloods and found she had Pancreatis this meant she had to stay in, she was put on a drip and given high doses of antibiotics, she finally came home Saturday, she looked really sorry for herself, she was on strong painkillers and antibiotics and she is to have a low fat diet, she also had to wear a collar to stop her chewing her stitches.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>I made her a space for a bed in the corner of the room thinking she would want to be quiet and left alone, how wrong was I. She was so excited to be home, jumping around, lying on her back wanting a belly rub and then in my arms, Freebie loves to be held like a baby and stroked, she was in my arms till bed time. I gave her the medication settled her on the bed beside my bed, said goodnight. The minute I turned off the light she was on the bed trying to bury herself under the blanket, what could I do so I left her there, she has been recovering ever since, her stitches come out this Wednesday. I am so glad I have insurance for all my doggies, her trip to the vets cost £3256.00, I had to pay £80.00, if I did not have insurance I dread to think what would of happened.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Now me, my legs have always had a bit of fluid on my legs, the last couple of weeks they have been really bad, they were so painful I could not bear to stand on them. eventually I managed to get an appointment with my GP, he put me on high doses of diuretics and took loads of bloods for tests, my blood tests come back ok so now, I am waiting for a echo, which is a scan on my heart and I have been told to sit with my legs up, I have got so bored and unlike me a bit down, but I did manage to get into my work room and finish my hairdressing salon, all that if left is to attach the front,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>I am very pleased with this room box, I am going to write about how I made it and what I did including pictures and it is going to be in the Dolls House World magazine, then I am going to sell it, I have no room and to be honest once I have made something I am eager to get on with the next one and the one I have just made no longer interests me. I think its because I love the challenge of creating something from nothing. Anyone else like this?</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>well I have bored you enough with my nattering on, here are photos for you.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Not a very good week for my little Freebie, she is having an operation on Wednesday to repair the ligament in her back left leg, she has been having problems for a while and last week the ligament slipped and stayed out. She is limping but not in pain. I know this because all my 3 dogs have had a season and they delight in bonking each other.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Today I have the groomer coming, she is going to tidy Freebie up and give her a haircut so that she is ready for Wednesday.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I am quite worried about her, its not so much the operation, its after wards she will be in a cage for about 6 weeks, she will not be allowed to jump around and must rest, this is to prevent her fracturing her leg, she is usually so active, it is going to be difficult for her.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>HI all</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I am near the finishing line with my salon project, just a bit to do on the inside and then to decide what to do with the outside.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have a nearly naked lady sitting in the chair waiting for her haircut, will hopefully dress her today.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have been asked by Sandra, ( she works for Dolls house world mag) if I will send her details and photos to go into the magazine, not long ago I had a feature about Franks Place in the magazine, nice to feel that my work warrants interest.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Now the moan, those that have been following my blog know I have numerous health problems, these I normally smile about and just get on with life the best way I can, but now it is really having an impact on my life and it is all to do with fluid, yes fluid, i have it on my lower legs and feet, and by the end of the day my feet look like balloons, and they are so painful, I try now to have one day in my workroom and the next day with my legs raised to help to prevent the fluid, but it is not really working, so just having to get on with it, I have given up smoking but my breathlessness is just as bad if not worse, will be glad when I get to see the cardiologist to find out what is going on, moan over.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>When I have finished this project I will be starting on the next one, it will be a clinic in the Niger Delta, that's all I saying for now you will just have to wait,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>anyway here are some photo's of the salon so far</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>HI All</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>yes it was a busy week and full of mishaps,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Easter Sunday, I had both my sons, their partners and my grandson Jack for dinner, it was all going well in the morning and I was busy getting the pork ready to go in the oven, I could not find a sharp knife, so I thought why not use the bread knife. I was cutting away, when I noticed blood, looked down and the tip of my finger was hanging off, oops!!, I have a lack of feeling in my hands so did not feel it. so made myself some steri strips to hold it in place and then got it bandaged, at least I got out of the washing up.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Jack loved hos dinosaur tail, the hoodie was a bit big, but he still wanted to wear it, went to get my camera, I had already used it dinner time and guess what, the battery was flat, Thomas will send me a photo of Jack and the dinosaur.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>We all had a great day, ate too much, it was really nice to have both my sons together, does not happen often.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I showed Joe, my chiropodist the bits I made for Jack and she wants me to make her son one, talking about the dinosaur tail and hoodie. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>And on top of that my little Freebie has been having problems with her left back knee and this weekend she jumped off the chair, yelped and her cartilage came out, so trip to vets, she is having a operation on the 13th of this month, and I have to keep her caged for at least 8 weeks, so that the bones will heal with hopefully no complications.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I did manage to do a bit more to my salon, I put up the mirrors and lights around them, I used the cheap string of lights that I got at Christmas (they cost me a 1.00) I also made some bottles, boxes for creams, shampoo and dyes, these went into the corner unit.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>anyway enough patterning, have a look at the photos.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Happy Easter</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Yes it's official I have a tail!! well Jack will have, curious? then let me explain.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I showed you yesterday the hoodie I adapted for Jack, well I also found a pattern for a dinosaur tail, so I decided to make that for him as well. It turned out ok. Not sure though if I am not opening Pandora's chest for later in his life when he want's fancy dress costumes, he is not old enough yet to tell me, time will tell.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I had my bloods done yesterday and they are still within the range the doctor's want them to be. which is great for me as it means for now I can go 6 weeks between tests instead of weekly, </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Having to rest a bit more this week, sitting with my legs up, which I hate doing, but there is increased fluid on my legs, they cause me a lot of pain and because the family will all be here Sunday, I want to be at my best.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>But I am not here doing nothing, oh no!!

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hi All</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Before I talk about myself and what I have been doing, I want to extend my sympathy to the families of the people that have lost their live in the recent bombing's.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I cannot understand where it is right to take lives in the name of religion, I do not think we will ever have a peaceful land. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I had started the dinosaur hoodie for Jack and yesterday I finished it, and it was one of the hardest things I had ever done. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>First I added a zip, not the right colour but I did not want to spend a lot of money and this and will only what I have in my stash. which turned out to be light blue.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I then made the dinosaur spikes to go in the hoodie, the tutorial I had seen showed stitched the spikes opened on the hoodie first, I decided to make them a bit different. I had some stiff stiffener in my stash, so I made the spikes using that to hold them upright, I edged the sides with dark green bias binding. I then added a row of open smaller spikes to the hoodie and stitched the spikes to this, I had to use a brown tape along each sides, not only did this add a decorative bit, importantly it hid some of the dreadful stitching underneath.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Finally after a very long day I completed it!!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Today I will be making the tail. like how I said that confidently, we will see,</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>It was all going well, but something was not right, I felt my hairdresser's salon was to bland, it looked like I had taken the soft option and gone for boring beige, so out came my stash of papers and I found some black and silver ones I liked, not enough to cover the walls, but enough to make a statement.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I also found some silver and black paper that would work on the floor.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So out came the beige and in came the silver and black. it now looks right.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I also had a fiddle around with the layout and think i have go the layout I like. I added pictures and the nail varnish shelf to the walls.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I am not happy with the receptionist desk, it does not look right to me, I think it is to high, so going to change it.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>As it is Easter this coming weekend, I decided to have the family over for dinner on Sunday, it's not often I get them altogether, so really looking forward to it.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>That got me distracted, my lovely grandson, Jack, he is now 18 mth old, is in to Pepper Pig and dinosaurs, and the other day on Pinterest I saw a hoodie made into a dinosaur, well not exactly, but enough for him to have fun, I also found a tail, so decided, as you do, to make him one for Easter, so that meant a trip into town to find a hoodie, just about impossible, eventually tracked one down, got it in a charity shop for 2.50. have got to alter it, started it today,</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hi All</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Must say thank you for your lovely comments</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Some may moan about the cold and rain, me love it, yes that means I can stay in my workroom and bugger what is happening outside. So on that note this is what I have been up to.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I finished off my sink, pleased with how it came out. have got to work out how to make a seat, </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I got some lovely lime green fabric from ebay and used this to cover 2 chars I had painted black, they will go in front of the mirrors and small tables.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I did a dry run and put the bits I had made in the room box, I tried different arrangements and I think I have finally found how I want it to look, it looks very clean and tidy, will not be like that when it is finished.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I decided on a name, must admit it is not original but one I liked, so I printed out the name, laminated it and then cut them out, very fiddly, but worth it in the end.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Today I am doing research, another excuse to sit on my bum, well actually I have another project to do, it will be a clinic set in the Niger Delta, let me explain before you think she has finally lost the plot.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>It started with my normal checkup at the doctors, once we had discussed my condition ect, he asked what did I do with myself, so i told him about my miniatures, he then had a look at my blog, he loved them, he then told me about the work he does for a clinic in the Niger Delta, he is one of the founder members, anyone interested in this, you can find it here</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>www.newfoundations.org.uk</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>anyway to cut a long story short, I have agreed to make a clinic room box which will be auctioned to raise money for them.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Typical me to choose an easy project.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>So I am researching the Niger Delta, the Foundation, clinic and equipment, I will be putting my progress on here.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Well better shut up now, I told you it was long</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>yes I have a hairdressing trolley, I had some little white baskets, so used these as a starting point.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I then made a unit with shelves to take the baskets,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>curlers-- were yellow pipe cleaners, I just cut then down and trimmed them.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>styling brushes-- I made a small brush shape from balsa wood, painted it silver with black spots and then put tiny wire around it, added a handle.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I cut up cleaning pads and put them into a small box</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>the rest is what I had and just painted black.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>yes Frank's Place was featured in this months Dolls House World magazine, those who do not know about Frank's Place, it was a room box I did some time ago, making as much as I could by using the inside of an old computer tower.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I love creating from trash, will put a picture on for you.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>there is more details in this blog, including how i made some of the items, if you wish to see more.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>the hairdressing salon is coming on, at the moment I am making items and equipment for the nail bar, trouble is I am running out of trash, need to get my begging bowl out and see what I can get.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have made the table for the nail bar and painting some furniture black, I am sure you do not want to see pictures of paint drying, so will show you when they are finished,</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>those who know me, know I hate painting, it takes so long, paint a bit, let it dry, paint a bit, it goes on.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>today I am hoping to get a bit more done to the nail bar, have this trick now, before I go to bed, I paint the bits I have made, and then they are dry by morning, no more waiting!!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>anyway here is Franks Place</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Yes I finally have my blog back, after months of trying to fix it, it was so simple I just went on to Ad block and unblocked and there it was my blog and dashboard, how easy was it.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> Heath wise have not been to good, they now think I have a heart problem, I had a heart attack about 6 years ago and have been ok, so I thought, but my bloods and chest pain have said something different, they say I have unstable Angina and have more tablets, have had tests and awaiting results, appointment June, also they thought I had sleep apnoea, tests have shown that I am just over the normal limit, but they discovered that I have reflux, that is causing me to choke at night, so more tablets for that.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hi All</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Have I been busy? really getting into my shop now, ideas are flowing, I have a book so that every time I get an idea I write it down so I do not forget it. Its not in any order and to the non miniaturist it would look like a load of nonsense, but not to me. </i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I finished my counter for the men's side of the shop, filled it with designer jewellery and aftershaves, it is the same as the ladies counter just smaller.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I made some watches and aftershaves to sit on the top.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>It will have a matching display unit, this will be filled with, wallets, hankies, ties, all sorts of men's accessories.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>While I was making some wallets, I had a light bulb moment and quickly wrote down " man's toiletries bag" and a quick sketch, see how my little book comes in handy.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I carried on making man bag's, brief cases and wallets.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I then decided to attempt to make my toiletry bag, first I drew out a design on graph paper, and then tried it out on card, after i made a few adjustments I was happy with my design, so using thin leather I cut it out, added various pieces that a man would use.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>you can see the result in the photo's along with my other bits I made, enjoy.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>so much for my plan to make jewellery yesterday, it did not happen, spent most of the day sorting out the house, decorating is now finished, so its time to put everything in its place and return to some normality.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>why is it when decorating is taking place do I become tea and sandwich lady?</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Today all the pictures, units get put back on the walls and then a big sigh of relief decorating is over, I hate being upside down, but the finished result was worth it.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>His next plan is to build me a small shed for my mobility scooter, that will make life easier for me, I will be able to just drive it out, looking forward to that.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I did manage to sneak into my workroom and make a make-up tester to sit on the counter, in-between tea making.</i></span><br />
