still addicted and its spreading

Hi All
thank you all for your kind comments.

I think it is not just shoes I am addicted to, I am now painting small minis, I think its the paint, it has mysterious properties, it makes you want to keep opening the small tins and dipping a brush in it. have a look at what I have done

I have gone shoe crazy

Hi All

Help I have gone shoe crazy, it started because my friends on face book asked me to make shoes to sell, no problem says me but they have taken over my life, I have become addicted, have got photo's to show you.

I cannot get going on my shoe shop project, with my operation looming  I do not want to start something and then not be able to finish it.

so here is my shoe addiction, well they are cheaper than the real life ones 

I have a new hobby

Hi All

Yes I have a new hobby.its making cakes, I have always wanted a food processor and finally a few weeks ago I got one, now my success with cake making in the past has brought many comments from my family, not many good ones, I would get "lovely mum, just what I wanted a doorstop" but with my new machine I am producing cakes that would look good in a shop window, so I cannot stop making them, I have been sticking to Victorian sponge and coconut cakes, this week I want to get more adventurous, will let you know how I get on and maybe take a photo, the only thing it does not help the waist line.

Well I have heard from the hospital and I have a new date for my operation, its 14th October, this time I will not get excited I will just turn up and hope it finally happens.

It has been very difficult to get stuck in to mini making, I do not want to start any big projects as I know I will not be able to do anything for a while, but want to make something, I have been working on small projects, hope to have some photos for you soon.

I went into town yesterday, its a lovely walk, I have to go over the bridge and this year we have got a family of swans, mum, dad and 4 babies, I took some photos to show you. Have a look

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
