Sometimes life sucks......!

Hi all.
Just a super quick post today as my head has not been "in" the right space for a while as my OH's operation date was nearing and he had it on Tuesday.
Bless him.
He has never complained in the past of pain - of any sort. Even when he was having his heart attack he wouldn't say how bad the pain was! However, he has told me of the excruciating agony he is in now and how he wouldn't recommend this surgery to anyone! Of course, it isn't something anyone would select optionally is it?
He was on the Intensive Care Unit for a couple of days and thankfully he's now been transferred to a Coronary Care ward where, at least, he can watch what's going on in the world on a TV over his bed!
I can only hope that it's onward and upward now. Every day he can only get a teeniest bit better so that by the time he comes home next week, he'll be ready to start a full recovery. I'll probably be running around like a mad woman but that's the price we pay when our loved ones need us.
So, that's it for now.
I haven't done too much crafting, sadly, only a tiny bit, but not enough to share really . I'm hoping to create something soon, just for a little therapy for me!

Have a great weekend, wherever you are :)

Sheepishly here again!

Hi all!
sorry to have been MIA for a while- again! but, I've come to the conclusion that I can't manage more than 3 things at once any more! Like breathing, thinking and crafting all at the same time!
anything after that goes out of the window! Social media (blog, Insta etc?) no chance I can fit them in!!!
I even forget to eat sometimes and it's only when my tummy rumbles and I'm lightheaded that I realise I've not eaten since the day before!
You'd think I'd be skinny with the amount of not eating I do but nope! Not a chance. I'm never that lucky! (It sucks!!!)
Anyhow, I have had a few days locked away crafting like mad on some lovely things which i'll reveal in a later post, but today I have received my issue of Papercraft Inspirations magazine (iss 183) and my latest make using the new Slide and Reveal Die created by Angela Poole, is in the Reader Tester Section.
I made a snow globe card using Angela's lovely and nostalgic images which are printed from her Beautiful Moments CD.
All these products can be bought from Hochanda .

As mentioned, I do have some fun stuff up my sleeve at the moment but, I'll try and be good and remember to post the good stuff when I can!

Hope you have a great week :)

We're all a super friendly lot and you can also find us on our Facebook group - Luv Crafts Crafting and Mixed Media Group.
Stop by for a chat or even for some inspiration as there are lots of like-minded crafters out there who share their projects and wouldn't mind if you asked a question or two about their makes.
Our Design Team are lovely ladies and we are all very different in our styles so pop over to their blogs and say hello to :

I hope you can find time to join us occasionally (every day even!!!) and don't forget that Luv Crafts do have shows on Hochanda TV from time to time and Jo demo's around the country at various events so if you want to come along, check the blog for future notices.

All in all, I hope you have a great weekend!
