SORRY.....

Okay its been nearly a week since I have posted anything here,
what can i say except I'm sorry for neglecting my blog but i have been busy, busy sewing, busy tidying, busy cooking just busy.

Last week i posted about weather i should have ago at making a top without a pattern and i did. I'm really pleased with most of it but the straps look a bit dodgy :-( and i haven't figured out why yet, once i have fixed them i will post some pictures. preferably once my skirt and shrug that i made it to match are finished over the next couple of weeks.

The Hubby's restricted diet is going well and isn't as much of a struggle as we expected it to be tho we have fallen off the wagon a few times generally not my idea, i must add except for the KRISPY KREAME  doughnuts.

i have a little more of my Christmas shopping done and even some presents wrapped and a tidy kitchen and almost tidy dining room even tho neither are decorated yet.

i am now facing 2 dilemma's what mobile phone to get next as my contract is up on boxing day, and what to do for Christmas dinner.

as my parents left it too late to book anywhere, my nan isn't forth coming about having it at hers again, my mums table is really too small and my house isn't decorated yet.

Confused : writing workshop

Life is full of uncertainty but,
Id rather you hate me for everything I am
than ever love me for all that I am not. 
despite the pain I go through, have been through
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken. 
Because this is all apart of me,
take anything away who will I be?
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past 
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have.
The bulling the hatred, tearing me apart.
Something inside me has opened up again,
I saved all the bullets from ignorant minds. 
The taunts and the names, there stupid games.
Life's kinda always been messing with me, 
Just when i thought i was finally free,
It gets all messed up again, wont leave me be.
But my dreams they aren't as empty,
as they used to be, i still hope, tho what will be, will be.
I finally know just what it means to let someone in.
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will.
You wrap your arms around me, tell me lies of innocence,
that make me smile and fight to believe,
that someday, some how ill be happy again.

This weeks writing workshop was to write something, inspired by song lyrics or titles, i chose to kind of do a collage of diffreent lyrics from different metal and rock bands to for a poem of sorts. im not sure if its cheating, but given as much scope as we were this week i strugled with aalot of indecision till i came up with this idea. feel free to leave me any feed back.

Itchy Feet.

Okay so its been a couple of days without a post, and for the few that check my posts I'm sorry but this snow has left me feeling down,alone and cold.

It's not that I don't like snow, really its not because I love how it looks all fresh and pretty, but being disabled with joint issues and breathing problems I start to feel cut off from the rest of the world, plans to go shopping get canceled as the snow is difficult to walk in, the cold sets my joints off, and the cold air hurts my throat when I start having breathing difficulties and gives me headaches.

However this being boxed up in my house has a secondary impact, it makes me want to finish decorating and tidy and then very.much annoyed with myself when before I am 1/4 way through the task i have set my self I'm exhausted.

However I'm feeling kind of inspired by some beautiful fabrics I have found on eBay. I'm in love with this brocade from TwinsMore-Fabric, the delicate design, beautiful colours, and I think it would make perfect drapes/window sash and look fab covering the seats of my dining room chairs.

But I don't think I can justify the purchase of the fabric as it will probably be many more months before the dining/kitchen room is decorated and I'm not sure if it would be to girly for Hubby.

but its simply beautiful.

I can see it with pale yellow walls and lilac/pink wood work but would it go with the grey and white kitchen tiles...

Hopefully  when I have made my mind up they will still have it on sale as I'm still looking for the right wallpaper Id love to just paint the walls but there not really in good enough condition :-(.
