Where have I been and what have I been doing?

Hello Everyone.

Firstly I would like to apologise for my absence and for how quiet I have been and with not posting on here for a while.

I thought I would update you all.... Well where do I begin..... Firstly I have been back and forth with Hospital appointments as I have been getting tested for Sleep Apnea as I am not sleeping when I should be so this is having a big knock on effect on my every day life. 
Today I had my final appointment and thankfully it is not Sleep Apnea but Insomnia which I already had a gut feeling it would be so it has been a waste of time really, but I am glad to know for sure and can now go back to my G.P and see what the next step is.

At the beginning of this year, my Nan was rushed into hospital with what was suspected Sepsis, thankfully it turned out not to be that BUT she had suffered a severe heart attack which had caused a blood clot which was in her neck (we didn't know) to travel into her head and split into two and she also has one in her leg. My Nan has Dementia and brittle bones so is very fragile as it is, this had been a big knock on effect on her to the point of we were told to prepare for the worse as she may not make it as she was bed bound, not eating, drinking or being able to talk....... I am thankful to say she is still with us and is fighting very hard and is not in hospital but back in the care home where she is getting all Palative care, yet she is still fighting and is slowly getting there but as we have been here before when it was my Grandad we know that anything can change at any time again. But for 87 years old she is doing well considering and is a tough cookie.

So as you can imagine with that going on and Christmas being a hard time for me my mojo had upped and left and it has only just started to slowly come back when it comes to my papercrafting, mixed media art etc........ BUT I have not stopped crafting altogether I have actually been really busy with my crochet business since all this with my Nan it gave me that push to get that business out there as it is something my Nan taught me to do.... My crochet can be found on Facebook, Conscious Crafties, and Instagram just search for
 Nana's Precious Stitches.

ANYWAY enough of my blabbering on and probably boring you all but if you have got this far thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope that you will continue to follow me on crafty journey. I have a commission piece to share with you all and some new Scrapbook layouts :)

December 2017 Catch Up

Hello everyone, First of all I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope 2018 is a great year for you all. I have a lot of new ideas to put into action and I can not wait to share with you all.

Secondly I would like to apologise to you all for how quiet it has been here over December, it is a really hard month for my self and my family we don't do Christmas due to our own reasons and due to it is a hard time for us with the loss of my Grandad in 2003 and Brother-In-Law in August 2016 so with this on top of my health really taking a beating I had lost my crafty mojo.

So what have I been doing well even though my mojo had gone bye bye and not being very well I did want to try something new (I have a habit of trying new crafty things) I went a head and gave it a go. So I thought I would share with you all what I had a go at doing and I have to admit I loved every minute as it is something so different to my usual crafting.

Here they are 



A beautiful guardian angel (Christmas Angel) and a Wreath, I am over the moon with both of these and can not wait to try others in different colours and for different occasions so yes these may be making an appearance on my Etsy and Facebook on a regular basis but at the moment I have no idea when could but I shall keep you all posted.

I hope you like them as much as I do and yes I did put them up for sale on my Etsy before Christmas unfortunately they did not sell but this could be down to how close to Christmas I had listed them.

Apart from making these two beauties I didn't make anything else instead i spent time with my wonderful other half and family while trying to function through horrible Fibromyalgia flare ups and other health problems.

I am now feeling a better and raring to go with lots of new ideas, exciting things to share with you all and more so keep your eyes peeled for my First creation of 2018 for the NEW challenge for SheepSki Designs.
