My June stitchy update

With the heatwave we have been having here this summer I thought it was only fitting to have a summer finish!!!

Update on Sammy

Well I phoned the vets a lot yesterday he seems to be doing ok and I'm just thankful he made it through the night, He was still very shock up and sore and not eating very well I just feel so bad that I couldn't be with him but as he wasn't out of the woods yet he had to stay where he was. But when I phoned this morning I was allowed to go bring him home which was great but quite scary too as I knew I would have to drive on the motorway to go get him, but I wanted him so much I braved it and fetched him.

They think he may have a skull fracture and has bleeding on the brain but his jaw isn't broken as they first thought, only thing is that his eyes are very dilated and we will have to see how he goes he's not out of the woods yet and we aren't sure how his eye sight is working either. Lilly wasnt sure of him at all its like its not her Sammy so we will have to keep a close eye on them both  I am just so glad he is still with us and safe at home xx

I feel like my hearts been ripped out again

Tonight is a very sad night I cant believe what happened it was all so fast, Sammy had only been out for 10 minutes when there was a knock at our door asking if we had a little white and ginger kitten. I didn't recognised the lady that knocked so I just said yes why?? Oh she said I'm sorry but I think he's been hit by a car, my heart almost stopped no it cant be my Sammy... 

Leon and me followed her just around the corner from my house and there he was half laying in the road I very gently picked him up and he purred briefly. He was bleeding from his eye, nose and mouth I was so afraid he just didn't look like he was going to make it. I couldn't believe this was happening so soon to losing our dog it just wasn't fair!!! I got straight on the phone to my Dad who drove us up to the vets in Swansea and we had to leave without him. I cried all the way home with my jacket covered in his blood it was horrible to just have to leave him there. But he is in the best place and now the waiting begins.

My stitchy update for April

 This month was a quick stitch, it was also a very easy decision to make after the start of the year I have had, I need to learn that I am too giving always there for everyone but when I need understanding it seems like that's just too much to ask. And what's worse was I really had no idea what was happening until my son told me I needed to step back from a situation and see what happened. I guess its easy to see what's happening to someone else that it is when its happening to you. It especially made my mind up the day before my birthday, lets just say we all know my track record with birthdays and what happened made this one no different.Never mind when every door closes a new one eventually opens xx

My march finish

Thought this one looked very pretty until I started working on it a few years ago dragged it out just to finish it this month because it has to be said even though I think the finish looks ok, I hated working on it.

                                  

Happy 16th birthday!!!!

I just would like to wish my youngest baby a very happy birthday!!! It wont be long now and both my babies will have left school and be in college, where does all the time go?? We hope you have a wonderful day Leon xx

My February stitching.

Here are the two pieces I have managed to finish this month, it is just so nice to have the stitchy bug back!!!! 

Well its been a very emotional few days, my tears haven't stopped the house is so quiet so empty and there has been a very big hole in my heart since we lost you baby. So we have decided to get a kitten well that was the plan to try and help me because I am just so lost with out any pets at all. We had plans to get a little ginger and white tom from a house where he could no longer stay, hes not a baby he is 5 months old and needs love just as much as I do. But then I get a call from my eldest son who has a little girl who is about the same age desperately needing a new home too so all of a sudden we have two!!! Here is Lilith and Samael, welcome to your new home guys xxx

Good night my sweet baby xxx

Today a very bright candle has blown out, so with a very heavy heart I have had to let you go over to rainbow bridge where I hope you are young well and healthy again chasing bubbles and bees like you used to love so so much.

                                     

We will never forget you Bud you will always live on in our hearts forever. But we have had to take the hardest decision ever and let you go, this christmas has been a struggle for you and its got harder and harder watching the light in your eyes start to fade. You have been a strong boy you where 15 and a half now doing so very well for a dog of your age. Thank you so much for yesterday when you came to me and put your head on my hand and told me you where ready to go it was so sad but so lovely. 

I don't know how I am going to cope with out you to come home to. But I know you are in a better place.

One day we will meet again my baby please stay strong for me and I will try for you,  love you always and forever Mammy xxxxx

17 years today

I married my hubby, hard to believe how fast time goes it sneaks up on you before you know it!! I just wanted to wish my hubby a happy anniversary im looking forward to a child free evening ok they will still be here but in their bedrooms :-)) Happy anniversary babe xxx

Happy birthday Jakey!!!

I can hardly believe that my oldest will be a fully grown adult this time next year............ when he was born 17 years ago I really didnt know how long I would have my baby for the way he came into this world, 11 days late I was indused and then that took 2 days untill they finally put me on a drip and he was born with no crying and he was grey with no heart beat. They brought him around showed me quickly what he looked like and then he was gone upto the scbu and I was left with empty arms and a photo of you. The first few weeks of your life yopu were sicky and then they thought you had meningitas when you were two weeks old and I nearly lost you again but baby you were a fighter!! Two weeks before your first birthday you were in hospital again having an operation on your tounge which you managed to slice open in a zigzag falling over this again was an awful experience when they gassed you in my arms to make you sleep and you went limp in my arms. Up to the age of 5 you were in and out of hospital with sickness they just couldnt explain. When I look at you now I really cant believe how lucky I am that you are still here after all that you have been through. Youve made us so pround and we are so lucky to have you and your brother you are both wonderful children and we love you loadsxxxx HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!!!!!!

What ive been working on while watching the footie :-)

I love the football thats no secret and its been great being able to watch two games everyday since last saturday :-)) I thought on monday it maybe a good idea to try and fit in a little stitching time while I enjoy it :-)) So I pulled out one of the charts hubby bought me for christmas and decided it looked easy enough to be able to concentrate on the game and the stitching at the same time hehe and it seems to be going well. I also started a new diet on monday so this helps take my mind off eating a little too which is great, I really need to lose some of the weight ive put on while not being asble to use my arm but im getting my life back on track slowly and trying to forget those that clearly forgot me after what they did. I also have been working on my fitness and I tried out UFC trainer on the ps3 move on tuesday morning and i have to say im still suffering today haha but oh well no pain no gain right :-))

My first finish of the year :-))

Here is my very first finish of the year I am so happy to finally be back stitching that I really dont care that it is june LOL Its a dragon dreams design called treasure them now and is done on sassys fabbies, it was slow and quite painful at times to complete but at last its finished!!!! Doubt very much though that I will complete my goal of 12 finishes in 12 months I guess I will have to start that again in January.

Stitchy update at very long last :-))

Here is an update of my stitching I have to say it has been a very very long 14 weeks with out lifting my needle I didnt ever think I would miss something quite so much but I really really have its just sooooo nice to be back doing something I love im never going to take advatage of being able bodied so much again. I have had a lovely morning baking chocolate cake with my youngest today he maybe 15 but its so nice we can still do these things together I guess it helps that its been pouring with rain since yesterday afternoon so hes home for a change :-)) I hope you all enjoy your weekend and bank holidays for all those here in the uk xxx
