Fluttering By To Say Hello ...... Sketch Saturday Challenge #172

Fluttering .... hmmm, that's sort of what i've been doing all week, but perhaps not as gracefully LOL!  Yesterday was spent fluttering here, there and everywhere ... my niece Carrie said that she would babysit Dad for us so that I could take Mum to the local Council Office to place a claim for Council Tax benefit (dunno what i'd do without her right now, she's been a tower of strength to me and has helped me out no end ... love ya honey x) ... OMG, that was a chore to begin with, they never make anything simple for you do they?  Dad had given us a shopping list which included long johns, thermal vests, boxer shorts, pyjamas and gloves ... yes gloves, to go with scarf he's taken to wearing in bed!  We also picked him up one of those cosytoes things for the wheelchair, which after seeing he decided he could use indoors whilst he's sat in his rocking chair!   We're hoping that this weekend or next week, we'll be able to wrap him up and take him out in the wheelchair again.   His next Chemo session is 22nd September so we want to make sure that the week before he does something and goes somewhere nice.  If we have a nice day I want to take him to the National Arboretum at Alrewas which is about 15 minutes drive away from us.  On my visit there in June with our friend Paula we found the memorial for the SS Lancastria which is the ship that my Grandad (Dad's Dad) died aboard.  Dad has never visited and has never had the chance to say goodbye to his Dad.  He was 8 years old when his Father died and all 9 children were placed in children's homes and foster care when my Grandma deserted them.  Anyway, that's a whole story by itself .... to long for today.  Talking of today ... the plans are to have a crafting day.  My sister and her daughter are going to the oldies to clean the bedrooms, change the sheets and make the beds up in the guest room ready for my Uncle (Dad's youngest brother) and Aunts impending visit on Wednesday and to babysit Dad whilst Mum does some baking.  She's desperate to make cakes which she generally does every week, but just lately hasn't had the time to do, so she's really looking forward to this chance.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy .... DP2 Challenge #99

We've had a relatively quiet week up to now.  Dad's up and out of bed this morning.  He's not been as sleepy this time and has been getting up every evening for a few hours, but today he's up already!  His appetite is still not as good as at was, but again its better than last time.  We've spent a couple of days just lying talking to one another about nothing in particular which is nice.  Yesterday Mum had me changing curtains for her ... i think my good nature is being taken advantage of PMSL ... she only asked me to do one pair and i ended up doing 3!!!  Mum is off out to the old fogey club this afternoon and as yet Dad doesn't want a babysitter but we're constantly on standby cos he does change his mind quite often.  

My gorgeous grandbaby Rylee started school yesterday for the first time.  He wanted me to go and collect him from school ... hmmm ulterior motive, i think ... he didn't want to walk home and knew i'd pick him up in the car!  He wants his Pops to go collect him today!

Now on to this week's DP2 challenge... 

Iulia is the "hostess with the mostest" again this week, and she's chosen another really, really fun challenge theme...

"Boy Attitude"

I love this little "Binky Baby" ... he looks like he's looking over his shoulder saying "yeah, and ..."

... i've used him again on the inside with a cute little verse ...

To make this card I used:~

CS ~ Stash

DP's ~ Raspberry Road Designs ~ My Baby Love

Sentiment ~ Create with TLC

Gems ~ Stash

Tools ~ Sewing Machine, Nesties, Cuttlebug, Pencil Crayons, Blending Stumps, Sansodor

Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star ..... Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge #71

I've spent this morning lay on top of the bed with my Dad, just chatting, reading today's newspaper and watching the world pass by out of the bedroom window!  It was nice to spend some "quality" (said loosely) time with him, just the 2 of us.  He says today that he has some pain on his left side.  Now we're not sure if this is the cancer or if its a pulled muscle, from lifting the hose pipe reel and moving stuff in his shed on Saturday .... He wont be told!!!!   He thought it was funny that I was covering my feet up with his dressing gown cos they felt chilled, so we giggled about that and also about the fact that he was wearing a scarf in bed with his pyjamas!  He wanted his gloves but didn't know where they were LOL.

On to this week's challenge, and it's Maggie's turn to give us all a sketch

Feel free to flip, rotate, re-size and add embellishments, as long as we can clearly tell you have followed the sketch.

If you win this week's challenge, you will receive a fabulous prize from our regular sponsors The Stamping Boutique. 

To enter all you have to do is make a card following the sketch (making sure you include stamping somewhere on your creation - digi's are fine), and post your entry into the linky below. Check out the Rules page above for more information.

The deadline is midnight (UK time) on Saturday 10th September.

Well, I loosely followed the sketch I just didn't have room to fit my sentiment.  I hope my card still qualifies for the challenge but I understand if it doesn't!

... again I had to use one of my babies ... Teddy Bea_033 ...

and once again on the inside of the card ...

From Our House To Yours .... DP2 Challenge #98

Dad stayed in bed for most of today ... I suppose at least he's out of trouble and we know what he's up too LOL ... sleeping!  Mum said that twice he'd said he was getting up and coming downstairs ... he managed to make an appearance at 6:00pm and was still up when I rang after 9:00pm.    At least we know what to expect this time, so its far more relaxed and we're more laid back about his side-effects.   

This weeks challenge is being hosted by Iulia.  She's come up with a fabulous sketch for us to use...

... and here is what I've done with it ...

I used the cute little image "Rafe"

Happy Freezin' Season ..... PTW Challenge

Shhhh, yesterday was peaceful.  I made this card and the one downstairs!  I sat at the laptop for most of the day only moving to eat lunch and to hang out the laundry!  How much fun did I have?  I've made 2 whole Christmas cards for this year, this could mean that I wont have to buy a box ... but we wont hold our breath on that score just yet!  Dad was feeling good yesterday, but then we know its the 2nd day after Chemo when it all kicks in.  So in theory today is THE day!  I'll keep you posted on here and for those of you that have me as a friend on Facebook you can catch up with me on there! x   In the meantime the chicken is in the slow cooker, the veg is in the steamer ready to be switched on and i'm still in bed LOL!  

This week is Papertake Weekly's  last challenge of the month, and as always they have a sketch ….

Please feel free to resize, flip and rotate the elements - as long as you can still see the sketch.

Friends Make Life Bearable ......Sketch Saturday #171

Saturday again, where does the week go?  Most of my week was spent organising ice-lollies, ice-creams and fruit sorbet's for Dad made with his nutritional drinks ready for after his Chemo on Thursday .... hmmm, that didn't happen!  After one bag of saline and 3 hours, one of his blood test hadn't returned (his kidney profile) and it was decided that Chemo couldn't commence without it!  So we were told to take him home and phone on Friday morning at 9:00am when it would be decided if a space was available for him to have his treatment  ... A space was available for him thankfully.  Once again though, we were there until 6:30pm, why does it have to take so long?!  We had a quick dash home, a trip to the chip shop ... Dad enjoyed his fish and chips :) then it was time to do babysitting duties so Mum could go to Bingo.  On the plus side he was in bed by 8:55pm.  Bless him, he was shattered.  Mum came back with a tin of Celebration chocolates and everything to make a chicken roast dinner with trimmings.  Guess what we're having for Sunday lunch!!!

It's Lisa's turn at hosting our sketch challenge this week. She's especially excited because her new store... The Craft's Meow...is our sponsor for this week's challenge!

Without further ado, here is this week's sketch:

... and my card ...

... Yep, sorry another Teddy Bo image... this time TeddyBo_002

I had a go with a new technique that i've seen being used on other blogs.  I don't know the technical term for it, but it entails dotting the picture with markers.  

I added another Teddy Bo to the inside of the card.

Perfect As A Rose ....

Happy Saturday!  Here in the UK it's a Bank Holiday weekend, so that's an extra day off on Monday for some of us :)  This last week has been a better week with Dad.  He's been more or less his old self again, although he's still been very weak.  I've spent the week making some of his nutrition drinks into ice-creams and ice-lollies ready for the week after his Chemo treatment when we have trouble getting him to eat.  So, this week we're making preparations ready for his sick week.

Swinging By To Say Hi .... Sketch Saturday #169

Yesterday morning was spent Dad sitting whilst Mum went out to her friend's house for an hour and half for a coffee, natter and some much deserved "ME" time.  She returned relaxed and ready for whatever the rest of the day brought.  Which was a visit from the Occupational Therapist.  She's going to request a few things for us that she thinks will help Dad both in and outside the house.  We've had to make it clear to him that he doesn't have to use anything she brings, or if he tries them and doesn't think they're a help they can be returned.  He's funny when it comes to aids of any sort ... i think he sees them as defeat!  He must be feeling a little better cos he has us all organised with jobs tomorrow.  My sister is changing the bed and cleaning upstairs, Andy is sorting the TV out in the bedroom and plugging the electric bed in (Dad refuses to have it plugged in and use it when he doesn't need it!) and Mum and I have to go shopping for some new jog bottoms for him.  He hates the idea of not getting dressed when he goes downstairs, so i suggested some jog bottoms because they're like PJ's but they're not!  In the meantime, I've taken to comfort cooking and eating ...

... apple, sultana's and cinnamon tear and share bread.  We tore it and shared it and now its all gone!

 here is this weeks sketch...

and my card ...

I'm addicted to these Teddy Bo/Bea images and had to use another one .  This beauty Teddy Bea_014 was used for the card I made to say thank you to our gorgeous friend Paula for putting up with us for our weekend away at her house in London the end of July.

To make this card I used:~

CS ~ Stash

DP's ~ Pink Petticoat Gingham & Kathryn Balint, Old Time Rendezvous

B .. Beautiful Baby Boy ... DP2 Challenge #96

Escaping from my life for a few hours resulted in the card I've made for this challenge.  Its taken me 2 days to complete, snatching a few minutes here and there in between visits to the oldies house.  

Dad's been in bed for most of the time since last Sunday.  He had to get up on Wednesday and go to the hospital, a day early because of my big mouth and what at the time seemed a good idea LOL!  With him being so tired, I thought it was appropriate to ring the Chemo Unit and explain he was so sleepy and lacked energy, thinking it might be good for them to send out the District Nurse to take a blood sample that was required on Thursday to check his calcium levels.  However, they decided that perhaps we should take him up immediately, so the levels could be checked there and then as sleepy is one of the side effects of high calcium.  Too high and you can slip into a coma or have a heart attack.  Fortunately, after dashing up there and having the test he was given the all clear for anaemia and high calcium, but told that he now has MRSA!  He has to put cream up his nose 3 times a day and wash with this body wash everyday for the next 5 days!  Is it never ending? 

Once again I owe a BIG thank you to my friend Suzie for putting herself out xxx and to my gorgeous friend Paula for putting up with the daily rants xxx Love you BOTH lots xxx

Debbie is the hostess this week...and she's challenged us to make a card or 3D project using the theme...

Feeling BLUE!! 
(Use the color BLUE)

I've made this card ready for the birth of our nephew ... Charlie!  He's due to land sometime the beginning of October, but with not having much chance to craft lately, I decided to get it done now.

I used no-bow baby  from Mo Manning

To make this card I used:~

CS ~ Stash

DP's ~ Raspberry Road Designs ~ My Baby Love, Boy

Sentiment ~ Create with TLC

Pearls ~ Stash

Tools ~ Sewing Machine, Pencil Crayons, Sansodor, Blending Stumps, Carla Craft Corner Punch

Showers Of Warm Wishes .....

I could do with some of those right now!  I had to mention side effect didn't I?!  Saturday morning at 4:30am I had a phone call from Mum, saying that Dad didn't feel well ... he was experiencing discomfort in his chest.  Fortunately, after being checked over by the Paramedics it was decided that it was the onset of side effects from the Chemo.  Dad has never been a poorly person.  I don't even recall him ever being ill, so i think he was panicked by how ill he felt and the fact that initially he couldn't wake Mum to tell her.  It broke my heart on Saturday morning to see him looking so small and fragile in his bed and again today.  He's very tired and has taken to his bed the past 2 days, only coming downstairs to lay on the sofa under piles of blankets.  I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow, for Mum's sake and for Ellie and Ebony (daughter and great-niece) who are babysitting him whilst Mum and I go grocery shopping.   Today I sent Mum out to her weekly exercise class.  Dad was happy upstairs in bed as long as he could hear me, so i hoovered for Mum and then made a noisy cup of tea, banging cupboard doors, the fridge door and cups on the side.  Andy and I had a vocal conversation about nothing in particular, we just wanted to keep the noise going LOL .... that was hard, when your happy sitting with someone in silence.  Not to mention how odd it felt being noisy whilst someone is resting in bed!

This weeks challenge at Sketch N Stash has been designed by Sue ...
