I have been crafting in my Happy Home this week and as you already know I have been making and creating to my hearts content so I thought what better way than to start the post off by showing you some happy creative pictures.
Yep gals…this is what I have been getting up too and to be honest i did get rather carried away with myself! making probably far too many things…but what the heck! I have enjoyed myself and that is the main thing ay!
I hope you like my original design ideas…I have used these letter cards since I can remember for one thing and another…I have seen them become more and more popular with creative minds alike, so I have made a few more buntings with them…hoping to appeal…
I have also bought some vintage kitsch bits to add to my website when i get it off the ground again!
…and I’ve had a lot of fun with paper techniques…
It has been nice to finally make items that have been rolling around in my head for ages…but it all does take time and I hope that some of you will be inspired to buy something from me one day as I still endeavour to get in my craft room soon…watch this space, as I love crafting in my happy home! I am not much of a going out type person and I love sitting in my room with funky music playing and just me in my own little world getting all creative! Bless me!
Also have you noticed that I have added a shop to my site? I really feel like I need about 5 of me to get everything that I want done in my head, but I am gradually starting to get there…slowly catchy monkey??? is that a saying? lol!
Anyways…Have a Happy Week my lovely peeps and keep coming back to me, for more Happy ideas and creativity.
Speak soon my lovelies xx
What a terrible spring we have been having…as you know I have had my sewing machine out and I was supposed to be listing items that I have made on my website…but what with one thing and another! (lack of sunlight I think!) I just can’t be bothered! terrible isn’t it!
Anyway…this week I have been over at my Mums house, I haven’t seen her since Christmas…I really felt like we had got a lot closer after last year and her fall and everything, what with the weekly visits to her house and trips to the hospital to visit her and stuff…and then! like a bombshell she goes and writes something awful about me to a relation…which really upset me no end! so I just couldn’t bring myself to go and see her! two steps forward, three steps back!
I felt like I needed time to heal, before I could see her again and then she asked me if I could accompany her on another hospital trip and at first i said no…but then I felt guilty! why do Mother’s make you feel like that!…so I rang her and said that I would go with her!
We had a nice time together and I never mentioned anything about how I felt, because i didn’t want an argument with her!…She is precious to me, as i know lots of you no longer have your Mother’s and I understand that I am a lucky soul in that respect, but she does so break my heart at times…but I have learned to live with her being like she is over the years…
She is a very strong woman, because she has had to live with her hip disability all her life, but she has never really taken me seriously and has never ever stuck up for me…always taking who ever I am in disagreements with side…which I have always felt very upset about! but over the years I have become hardened to her ways and tried my best to get on with her…I suppose you could say I am more like my Father…but he passed away 26 years ago now… he always used to have my back. Gosh I soooo miss him!
Anyway…I don’t know why I am telling you this now! It seems so silly, but what with the lack of sunshine and my moping…its been hard to get on track this year…after 7 years of blogging it is sometimes hard to know what to blog about and I have never really let you know about the nitty gritty of my personal life…but i kind of feel that every now and again…you need to know, where i am at!..lol!
So I have been over at my Mum’s for a few days and although I never told her how I have been feeling…I now feel that I am over it! and I can move on…Life can be so tough at times…even when you have a name like Happy!…sometimes I think I should change my name as i seemed to of had a run of bad luck and SH*T come my way lately…so don’t think it is just you! I have had my fair share over the years, believe, you, me! Eek!
It doesn’t help either that I am now in MENOPAUSE…Yep! no more Peri-menopause for me! My periods are off the agenda now! and i now have all the other rotten symptoms that come’s with being Middle-aged! Itchy all over, feeling Hot Hot Hot! Memory Loss….middle-aged spread and everything that was once ‘PERT’ now all gone SOUTH! *Sigh*!
Mind you at first i did think!…cough cough! that perhaps I might be pregnant! LOL! HA! (as if) I have not had my monthly for a few months now! and I was getting a bit of heartburn….and then I felt a bit of movement in my belly! and I started thinking OMG! what if! could I be!….and then I remembered, that i was a greedy old cow and that I was probably suffering from heartburn and WIND due to the fact that I had been a FAT PIG over Easter and devoured a whole box of LINDT LINDORS to myself BURP! Pardon Me! 😀
Not to mention the fact that I am now having to wear my ‘Olive’ from ‘On the Buses’ Bi-focals now nearly all the time! (Rosie said they looked good on me in the opticians! we have laughed about that day, ever since and every time I put them on! lil’ ratbag!) Will life get any better than this! lol!
Sorry to ramble on!
HERE’S WISHING YOU A HAPPY WEEKEND
(PICTURES – are of my crafting over the last few weeks)
Happy Easter to all my blogging friends…I hope you have a lovely weekend! Usually I make a big old thing of Easter, but this year, I feel like it has got here in no time and I am no way prepared!
We have not been invited anywhere, so it will be a quiet long weekend at home, which is kinda how I like it….also it has been soooo cold, I feel like it should be at the end of April and not this weekend…usually my cherry tree is full of blossom but it is so bare and it feels more like a day in January than any Easter holiday celebration.
As you know I have had the crafting bug and have been making and creating all kinds of things ready to put onto my website in the coming weeks, so I shall probably carry on with those projects this weekend depending on how cold it is!
I have had a few trips out lately, but mainly for check ups at the hospital etc.lol! I received a letter a couple of weeks ago telling me that I needed a mammogram…apparently they were currently calling all women in my area, between the age of 50 and 70! well did I feel OLD or what!…and what a treat that was! never in a million years did I think my boobies could be rolled out that far! i know it is all for the best and the test is a brilliant one…but! Goodness Me! would they ever be the same again! 😉
Also I have had a couple of faux pars with my hair…insisting that I wanted bright pink hair instead of red! yep everywhere I go lately, it seems the red has caught on and it is now NOT the Wow! look at you colour that it used to be….well to cut a long story short! I ended up having bright pink 2 inch roots and bright red hair…I actually quite liked it but Rosie thought is was hilarious and pointed it out to people wherever we went!…lol!
Then in between all of that I became a kind of dark ruby pink, which made me look rather ill…only to be told at the Mammogram appointment by another 50-70 year old that she had had my colour since she was 12! hmmm! me finks not! seeing that her hair looked a rather rusty blonde…apparently a colour she has every summer! for a change!
Needless to say I came home in quite a bad mood (and with flat tits lol!) and that afternoon my hair was back to vibrant red again yay!
Once gain…I hope you all have a very HAPPY EASTER….Speak soon my lovelies.
