not a mini post

Hi All

I am continuing to paint the shop, I am using primer first, this helps to form a base for painting, I  still have to decide what colour,style,paint or wallpaper to use to  decorate the shop.

The ground floor,I do know I  want it to look very opulent and fancy, I am searching  the internet, especially Pinterest, to give me ideas.

This is one of the hardest for me, I do have a look in my mind, but find it hard to put it down on paper.

I always have to be busy, even if I am sitting down, I will be knitting or doing something, so I thought I would show you what I am doing while I wait for the paint to dry.

I am making a double quilt in a seaside theme. I subscribed to a magazine over a year ago, and every couple of months, I get material, projects and the quilt pattern, I decided to make this, I have done small quilting projects but have never attempted anything this big.
so this is how far I have got with this project. have a look

 

Good morning

Hi All

Well I am getting over my shock of finding my thyroid does not work as well as it should, and I have started my tablets. The one good thing about it,it explains why I am putting on weight, so  hopefully now my weight will start to drop off.

This week I will be continuing to paint the shop, so tedious, while I am waiting for all that to dry, I am getting on with my other project,its a double patchwork quilt. Its got a seaside theme, I have been doing it for over a year, Its a magazine that every 3 months you get the material and pattern plus other items you can make.

It would properly been cheaper to design and make my own,but i was looking for a long time project and this came up. It does teach you other things, like fancy embroidery stitches, and it has some great recycling ideas.

Well that's my week sorted, catch up with you all soon

good news

Hi All

Yes I have good news, I visited the Doctor yesterday and I have an under active Thyroid, and need to take tablets for the rest of my life and have regular blood tests, but I already have to have regular bloods taken so not bothered about that.
He has not ruled out Angina, I am to have the spray if I get chest pain and go back to see him and he will arrange more tests, My Doctor really looks after me

back to minis, I  have started painting the buildings, I can do 3 panels at a time, I need to get the bottom floor sorted so I can plan the layout and workout the fancy staircase.

I need to decide what colours I am going to do in each room, I want to do all the decorating before I put it together, much easier, I also want to plan out where the lights are going, 
So lots of planning to do.

update

Hi All

Thank you for your kind words of support, its lovely to know you care.

Yesterday I had  a ECG and my bloods done,  later that day I had a call from the Doctors, The doctor had looked at my ECG and asked me to come in to see him of Friday, bit concerned as I had been told to come in next week, but at least I will find out what is going on. Trying to stay positive.

I worked on my handbags, for now I think I have made enough,I really need to get the shop built,as I need to work out how much space I will have on the ground floor, and where things will go.

Hopefully will be starting to paint soon.

photo's of my finished handbags, some I have shown before.

bit of news

Hi All

I have been having a few problems these last few weeks, I had been having chest pains,but me being me thought it was indigestion. 
 Anyway, this week I was supposed to have 3 teeth removed, they found at my last visit,my roots had fractured, and this was causing me problems, hence the removal. 
So after my kids kept pestering me and the severe pitting oedema to my legs, I  thought I better get checked out

After taking my history and listening to my heart, she finally says "I think I detect a heart murmur" what!!  she gave me GTN spray, with instructions if the spray did not work I was to call an ambulance.
Today I have got to have an ECG and bloods taken, and I am waiting for an appointment for an ECHO. as for my teeth, they are staying in place till I find out what is going on with my body.

I am in bit of a shock, but I will not worry about it until I know what the problem is, in the meantime I am still making handbags, should have some photos for you tomorrow. 

I continue

Hi All
Yes I continue with my handbags, I have lots of pictures, taken from magazines,  and I am trying to copy them in miniature. I have to work out what size they would be in miniature and then I make a pattern, sound easy doesn't it?  I make one first in cardboard and once I am happy, I then make it in leather. 

I put pictures of my handbags on Facebook,  I got asked if I could make a Cath Kidston one, so I had a go. was quite pleased with it, but was not that happy with the buckles, so today I am  going to try to make buckles,  I love a challenge. Will show you the results.

If anyone knows of a easy way to make buckles,let me know,thanks.
