Hi,
This is my 500th post, I never thought when I started this blog I would ever write 500 posts, I was going to do a giveaway but unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control and when I tell you about this week I hope you will understand this is the last thing on my mind at the moment. Hopefully I can do a giveaway later in the year.
On Tuesday we travel to Sheffield, and on Wednesday morning at 7.30 I go into hospital for an eye operation. Its not easy to go into details and I am sure some of you would feel a little queasy if I tell you the whole thing, but to put in simple words I have a tumour behind my eye. Only five to seven people in 1 million people get this. Vernon is going to stay in the house for relatives until I can come home, I will be in hospital for approximately five days. He wont be able to touch me, as I will be radio active, so I told him he can throw things at me I wont mind, of course it also means its a two way thing I can throw things back to him.
This is one it autumn leaves and acorns using gold thread, with a border down the side and bottom, this is a close up of the card above.
This is my take on an abstract vase of flowers, I used three heart peel off's to make the vase, the flowers are in red metallic thread with green metallic thread for the leaves and red beads
This is a close up
Another vase of flowers this time using a square peel off to look like a vase and again the flowers are in the same red metallic thread and beads, and green metallic thread for the leaves
Close up of the card
These peel off's are great for quick stitching designs and can be played with to make various abstract designs, as well as interesting cards.
I hope my next 500 posts will be as varied and as interesting as my last 500, I one thing I enjoy with blogging its nice to show you different things and different crafting ideas. I hope I can keep finding new things for the blog.
I hope you are having a lovely weekend, I am not sure when I will post again but in the meantime take care,
Hugs
Margaret
Beautiful cards I hope all goes well for your operation xx
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret
ReplyDeleteI love your stitched cards they are so pretty.
I send my very best wishes for a good outcome and quick recovery after your surgery. It will save on electric to have you glowing in the room instead of a light bulb lol........Vernon will have to poke you with a long stick if he wants you!!!
What a bad 6 months you have had healthwise.
Hugs Tilly

Dear Margaret, I visited your blog yesterday to see if your hands have recovered and if you are tatting again. I am speechless after finding out that you are facing another health issue! I wish you both courage and a speed recovery. Your 500th post is a good omen: nothing will stop you from creating beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love your works!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 500th post! That's quite an achievement(!) and your blog is a window to all your talents in various crafts! It's also at times a travelogue. I've enjoyed the photos you have shared of your trips. You've also been through a lot of stress, with no help from the weather! Your recent accident has been a difficult time, and yet you kept blogging and commenting on blogs. And now you have the eye surgery tomorrow. I have always admired your fighting spirit. Please know my thoughts are with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm now receiving Nancy Tracy's newsletter (from Be-Stitched), and I let her know that it was your tatting of that cute sun with sunglasses that finally spurred me on to subscribe! I really wanted that pattern! The newsletter also included her other recent patterns and has useful tatting information as well! Our tatting event over the weekend went very well and was especially nice on Sunday when we had great weather!
beautiful cards Margaret.your stitched designs are stunning :D
