WOYWW- 238 Happy Christmas Everyone!!

Wishing you Julia and everyone else in blogland a very Happy Christmas.   No crafty stuff today, just waiting til we go to my Mum and Dad's for dinner.   Mum is doing well, as can be expected.   Pic is of my cat Delilah  who managed to position herself very well for a pic.  My tree is in fact clematis vines twisted into a curl that hangs from the ceiling and decorated.  I have had it for years.   As I said before wishing everyone good things.......

WOYWW #235 Good news at last!

Hello to all you Wowers, I have been absent for a very long time, but I have some good news.  After nearly 8 weeks my lovely Mum is out of hospital.  She is still very frail and has a long way to go but she is out! This is a picture of her when we went on a cruise to Norway in July.

I would like to thank all the well wishers and prayers everyone said for my Mum, someone was listening.

Thats me today, wishing you all a good day.    

FwATC's No 100! and the Last

Its the 100 ATC challenge and sadly the last.  so a big thanks you to all of you who have taken part in the past.  So let us go out with a bang and join us in this challenge at Fun with ATC's

Practise Time.....

for Free Motion Machinery.  For those of you who know, Mum still in hospital.  So yesterday managed to grab a couple of hours to practise my free motion machinery, I decided to make a couple of covers for my Pinking shears( they cut little zig zags to stop material fraying) and my ordinary material scirrors.

I used 2 cotton napkins for the back, thick iron on vilene for the centre and the top pieces are curtain remnants, plus my machinery.  Wishing everyone a lovely Saturday before the storms hit us.

Tim's Tag for October2013

To make sure I don't fall behind, managed to grab a bit of time to do my take on Tim's Tag for October.  I have chosen themes to invoke Halloween.....so spiders web and spider, owl on dark branch and of course a grisly skull with sparkly eyes and blood dripping.

To find out details get yourself over to Tims blog and have a go.

WOYWW #229- Quick flitt in....

For details re WOYWW please go over to the lovely Julia'sand join the world's greatest blog hop.

This is my desk this morning, not much going on, just the project I taught last Wednesday, it is based on somethhing I did a long time ago with Linda Elbourne.   Anyway the ladies had a good time, and I had a couple of hours to myself.

I would like to thank all of you for your lovely comments and good wishes for my Mother two weeks ago. Soon after Mum was taken into hospital and as it turned out not because of the Chemo or Cancer, but a pill against gout.  She had a very servere allegic reaction.  She is still in hospital trying to get better.  So I'm, up and down to see Mum and looking after my Dad too.  No more self pity, wishing you all a good week.
