Would anyone like to take a cold virus, its free and i would like to dispatch it A.S.A.P. I think i picked it up when i went to visit my friend in hospital this week. Nasty places and full of germs lol.
                              Poor Jasmine has also not been feeling too well this week, in fact i had someone in to help her get better. My friends son is an expert with computers and he has given her a thorough overhaul, registry spring clean etc. She is as good as new and happy as Larry, lol.
              I hope everyone has had a good weekend and taking care of yourselves. xxx

I never seem to have much time to come up here on lj at the moment.It seems to be all go here and not enough hours in a day.I have lots of housework to catch up with and have to visit a friend in hospital this afternoon. Medically speaking she has had a rough time of it for some time now. I have made her a nice card and will take her some flowers. Have a good week everyone and take care out there in the world. xxxThe picture was taken from the Exeter byepass on Sunday. It was a lovely day so Tito suggested a walk to the garden centre. The weather was beautiful and the scenery is uplifting.

 I still seem to be running around like a headless chicken . I seem to have so little time for myself these days. Never mind the long winter evenings are coming perhaps i can get up here with Jasmine a bit more. 
                      Rachel wants me to go to town with her tomorrow and so she is going to have to get up a bit earlier than her usual weekend thing, like 10am, lol. I can buy some card making supplies while i am there and hope to have some nice traditional style cards made in time for christmas. This is a new venture , so i will have to learn as i go along
                        Well have a good weekend everyone, take care of yourselves and be careful xxx

 I have been so busy this week. I usually only work on Mondays but have to work friday as well this week as Elaine is really busy and needs some help. So i have had to fit all the weeks planned chores into three days. I have steam cleaned all the carpets given Rachels room and the sitting room and hall stairs and landing a thorough cleaning and today it is the turn of Andys room.  I have loads more Washing and hope i am going to be able to put it outside, or it will be a case of the Chinese laundry blues lol.
                             Rachel is in Germany at the moment and will be moving next door next week as Martino will be arriving on the 30th of this month. I am pleased she will only be next door and still having her meals with us. She is like a real daughter to us and we love her. She is such a happy little soul and makes us laugh.
                                  Hope you are all having a good week will catch up with your blogs as soon as i can, and have a good weekend and take care. xxx

         Here is the bed at its next stage. The chinese style panel picture has been added and also mattress sheets and pillows complete with thier very own lace edged pillow cases. The next stage will be to dress the bed itself. I have a very fancy idea for that. Its amazing what you can do with a shoe box some spent firework sticks  and some odd pieces of wood.

 This is the miniature four poster i am making for Rachels birthday which is in November. She is enthralled with my miniature work and so i thought i would make her something that she can take home with her to remember us bye. The first pic is finished construction and the second is after the first coat of paint. I will go into town tomorrow to buy some fabric and trims to dress and finish it. I thought i might hand embroider the sheets and pillow cases and make a quilted bedspread. Hopefully i will have it finished by her birthday.I have given her a doll in 1/12 th scale and she will then have a bed to put her in, lol.
                                Have a good weekend everybody and take care of yourselves. xxx
