thank you Sueā€¦he is not a well man and on dialysis 3 days a week and is virtually housebound, so I have to look after him ā€¦which is hard work.
Today we had to wait 3 hours for the ambulance to bring us home as he cannot get into a car. Next week he has a CT scan. They zapped his pacemaker today to see if it helps but he still nearly blacked out this eveningā€¦added to which he has low blood pressure and on insulinā€¦so he is getting very depressed and fed upā€¦we just have to plod on as best we canā€¦Your thoughts are much appreciated x
Thank you allā€¦my crafting, painting, knitting and crochet keeps me saneā€¦well almost ha ha x

Brenda @teabreaks hope things are easier for you today,
The sun is out here, which means I may get out into my garden unlike yesterday. We have an open garden, or rather a crafts in the garden event with a few other houses in my area next month, being a town with an art college itā€™s not difficult to find artists and crafts people around here, the only problem is its about 3 weeks earlier this year and I really donā€™t think itā€™s going to get done in time! Letā€™s hope they see the crafts and not the garden. We bought a house with a large garden for us to enjoy in our retirement, only thing is, I canā€™t see me staying alive until I retire these days!
Todayā€™s listing, which goes with the wedding theme too!

Just a thought Sue, High School Prom season is starting and your flowers would make a lovely accessory to someones Prom Frock, either as a wrist corsage or part of a hair accessory (I know we had difficulty finding something for our daughter as her dress didnā€™t fit the more usual sparkly tiara accesories) might be worth adding Prom into your tags xx

Thank you @HandmadeByDiane yes, I have made a ponytail holder too, maybe I should make some alice bands too, for bridesmaids or prom accessories :blush:

Theyā€™re are certainly the sort of things my daughter might have chosen, her dress was a halter neck maxi dress with a top layer of chiffon in shades of cerise/purples (not the traditional ā€˜princesssā€™ dress at all) we eventually found a hair clip with feathers and a little bit of sparkle in matching colours but the choice was mostly lots of diamante/pearls (although this was 7 years ago so the ā€˜Prom Seasonā€™ wasnā€™t as big)

Brenda so sorry to hear you going through a difficult time, all you can do is see each day through, try not to look beyond that for now, help your loved one but look after your self to, do your craft work when you can, keeping busy in things you love is good for you. Im sure you must have a good friend to talk with, let out the stress, donā€™t hold it in, its good you are chatting to your folksy friends, knowing we care and supporting you is another good feel factor.

Iā€™m not sure if you pray or believe in God but he is the best friend we all have, throw your anxiety on him.

Iā€™ve had a lot of trauma and stress in my life, I think at some point we all do, what I have learnt is, talk to a good friend, focus on one day at a time when days are really heavy and have a good cry if you can and keep busy doing what you love.

Iā€™m going to go now and give your shop a real good loving and promote for you

Sue xx

My daughter went to two, and the 1st one she had a blue maxi dress and I really canā€™t remember how we accessorised that, the 2nd one, we bought a shorter black lace one so she could wear it more often, but we donā€™t really have the weather! She does wear the sandles and I made some gold items to go with it, I think she felt more comfortable in herself in that one!
