I have a date

Hi All

I have got another date for my operation, its the 14th October, so again I will have to have injections a week before, my belly has only just recovered from the last time, I will be in a couple of days and they will have an ITU bed in case I need it, so there we have it, I am beginning to feel this is my ground hog day.

I have been working on some minis, have not started my shoe shop as I do now want to leave it unfinished, so have been busy making ladies accessories sets, hopefully there will be free listing on ebay this weekend so I can get them on.

I must talk about the weather, its bloody cold have got my heating on, but then they tell us this weekend its going to be hot again.
Enough of me rambling on here are the photo's

new minis

Hi All

after my disappointment of my shoulder op being cancelled, I found it hard to get my mind back into doing things, I was mentally prepared for doing nothing, I sat in my work room waiting for inspiration and bang there it was, I have  shop that I am going to use to make my shoe shop, but some how that did not get me going, but I fancied doing some ladies accessories in a modern style, as Christmas is on the horizon I decided to make some sets that I will sell on ebay, anyway enough of me nattering on, have a look at what I have done so far

bet you did not expect this

Hi All

are you ready for this, after getting myself all ready for my op on the Monday, I got a phone call on the Sunday night to tell me they were cancelling ops as they had a bed crisis, they did say I may have a bed at the treatment centre, but as I was a high risk they did not think I would have my operation, so I am now back to waiting, ever get the idea that I am not destined to have my shoulder repaired.

At least my house is spotless and I have meals in the freezer, so I suppose its not all bad

I am slowly getting my mind set into doing minis again, I am working on ladies dressing table accessories, hopefully I will have some photos for you later today.

Recovering

Hi All
Thank you all for your lovely messages.

I have recovered from the wedding, Tom and Amy came round on Monday, they brought me a lovely display of flowers and are going to Tanzania for 10 days, flying out Tuesday, I told my son " that's it now you are married its socks and aftershave for Xmas, as I am saving for the grandchildren I am sure they are going to give me" got a strange funny look, never mind waited this long an wait a bit more longer.

I have nit had time this week to make any minis, I have been getting ready for my op on Monday, I have filled the freezer and even cooked some meals, so they just have to be defrosted and my son an cook them, got loads of books, cleaned the house, sorted out nice night clothes, my rt arm will be out of use for 3 weeks and then it will be lots of physio to get it working again, not sure what I am going to be like not be able to do anything for a while, I am not the best person to sit and do nothing, I get bored easily, still it will be nice for a while to be waited on,

I have started my injections and already have the bruising to prove it. Today I am going into my work room to do something, not sure yet what I will be doing but hope to have something to show you tomorrow

I've been poked and prodded

Hi All

Visited the hospital yesterday for my pre op, I was poked and prodded, I had my bloods done. 4 x-rays. ECG and my lungs tested and I am happy to say I passed with flying colours, so it looks like the op is on, date for this is the 9th, I was told I will be staying in overnight and they will have a high dependency bed available if I need it, but as I am having nerve blocks the chances of needing this is small. I will not be bale to use my arm for 3 weeks and then it physio. So it finally looks like it will happen.

A bit of news about my sister in law, she is now going to have a course of chemotherapy, they have given her a 25-30% chance of this working, thank you for all your prayers, we are continuing to pray and to hope this will work, sometimes in life you need a miracle and this is one of those times.

Did not do anything yesterday in my mini world, I was at the hospital for over 3 hours, we then went out for lunch, so by the time I came back it was a bit late to start anything. I was so proud of myself though, I have got myself a new food processor and I baked a cake, now those that know me, know cakes are not something I do as they tend to come out like pancakes, but not this one, It was lovely, it was so big it only just fitted in the cake tin, the family loved it. I keep joking and saying watch out  next year I may end up in the Great British bake off.

Well of for a shower, it spray tan day,

Shoes and more shoes, I am getting addicted

Hi All

yes I missed the free listing, I did not notice it till late Monday evening, bummer, never mind gave me a chance to sort it all out.
When sorting out my workroom I found stuff that I am not using so will be putting them on as well and then my son came through with some bits for me to put on, so maybe it was a good thing I missed the free listing as my list has got very big.

I seem to be developing an addiction to shoes, I mean the mini ones, although you had better not look in my wardrobe!! anyway I have been busy adding my touch to the mini shoes, I have some in metal and plastic, it is very fiddly to paint them, you can only do a little bit then you have to wait for them to dry, good job I am a patient person and enjoy challenges.

Have a look

 

 

 

 

I have my appointment tomorrow with the pre op nurse, yes I have a date for my arm op, 9th September, just hope nothing goes wrong this time, I will be having it done with nerve blocks, it was considered that it was to dangerous for me to have a general aesthetic, 

The hospital was good I had told them I would not have anything done until after the wedding, I got the call from the secretary on Friday, so she could arrange the date.

 

I am getting really excited now, Thursday I have my spray tan, the main reason for this is due to my circulation problem my legs are a lovely mottled blue and brown, not a nice look so I am hoping the spray tan will disguise this.

 

Well I am off, making shoe boxes now, is there a help line for my addiction?
