An Interruption...

hi all!

{louis vuitton

red cross monogram medicine box..}

i've been out of action the last 24 hours...

not that you would've been looking for me,

but tuesday night

i experienced a pain and called an ambulance.

it was the full 000 and all that.

the paramedics were great

and took me down the road..about 3 mins drive

to our local hospital.

they checked me all over...

put me on machines to test stuff,

i'm ok.

i got to know a few lovely blokes during the day...

ray..who only has 2 months to live..the big c,

owen..who has empheseimia..can't breathe

tony..with fluid in his lungs.

i was pleased to be able to walk out,

but spare a thought and a prayer

for those who you know that can't.

yes..i was in the men's ward.

it was the only bed left in the hospital

i had curtains..so i had privacy

when i needed it so it was ok.

the drs and nurses were great too

so i am thankful.

to all of you who are not feeling well today...

i'm hoping that you'll feel better very soon.

with love

I Woke Up & It Was August!

good morning!

this is just how it seems this morning...

the year here started with a flood,

dashed through to autumn,

the winter is flying by

here we are in august...

it's nearly spring!

they say time flies when you're having fun..

and i really think the older you get the faster time goes..

or seems to anyway..hehe!

i made these in july..

on saturday -

but i think they celebrate august

and are a little foretaste of spring.

blue skies and golden days ahead...

miss b left me the little yellow stool

when she went to canada...

and she's still there

so the yellow stool is still here!

the fabric is more of the 'england swings' range

i think i love every fabric in this selection...

they are 'happy colours'

don't mind getting mixed up together!

in august i'm looking forward to

bunches of daffodils

crisp mornings and blue sky days

meeting mr s's future in-laws

pleasures that are at this moment unknown...

oh..

and celebrating my first year of blogging at the end of the month..

and

there will be a giveaway...

if you've noticed

i've nearly 200 followers

so there will be a giveaway to celebrate that ~~when~~ if we get there as well..

and i have a special idea for that!

what are you especially looking forward to in august?

{apart from it being the last month of winter!}

p.s..yes these are available in my madeit shop!..thank you for asking.

Free Sunshine!

good morning sunshine!

{that's you!}

yesterday 'lovestitch'

bestowed upon me a

sunshine award...thankyou!

{by the way..'lovestitch' has a fabulous crochet blog..

she is extremely talented}

i have decided to break the rules

'cos i want you to take this award

if you feel you have a sunshiney blog!

just comment below that you are taking it if you feel you want it..

and the first 10 people to take it and comment can have it.

if you don't want to take the award

feel free to comment anyway.

i have decided to pass it on this way

'cos quite a few don't like awards

and quite a few get all the awards

and some people who should have one never get one

and

i often forget people who i should award

'cos they deserve it.

so be honest.

if you want it

and feel that your blog is somewhat sunshiney

and inspirational

take it..it's free to the first ten who want it!

a few things i love...

warm sunshine

georgeous flowers

gentle rain

smiles

dogs

my family & friends

God

very frothy cappuccinos

banana bread

kind strangers

i mean it ..be bold and take it...you deserve it!

take your own destiny into your hands this friday...

and have a fabulous weekend too.
