Appointment went ok, an urgent appointment with the psychiatrist has been made for Friday morning and they are going to speak to the GP about getting him on some meds, urgently! Fingers crossed they work this time!!! If not, I really am out of there, don’t have a choice!

Today’s listing… a new pendant in my Waterscape collection

Hello March Marvels, it’s taking me ages to catch up and :two_hearts: but I’ve done it. Hope alls well @MidnightStarDesigns and thanks for your lovely comments about my work. Hope your feeling better now Carol @cariadcrafts11, love the card which doubles up as a picture frame what a clever idea. Best wishes to Carol @Knittingtopia, you have so much to cope with. Wish I had your energy Roz @OrchardFelts especially when it comes to tidying and decluttering, somehow there is always something more important to do!
Had a fabulous weekend and beautiful weather. Wedding went well with only a few minor glitches and me sobbing when they lit a candle in remembrance of my mother at the beginning of the service. Here they are, not bad for 87 and 79!

Ooo how exciting I have a sale to report Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery. A load of listings on ebay were just ending and I saw the paypal notification come through and thought it was related to ebay but turns out it was a Folksy sale :slight_smile:

Just spent another hour in the loft - only one bin bag filled this time and slowly losing the will …

Evening all, congrats on the sales.

Hope your meds let you feel 100% Carol , you have waited so long @Knittingtopia
Colleen, at least they sound like they are taking the situation seriously, I hope they find some meds that make your life and his easier. @MidnightStarDesigns

I have had a really busy day trying to make as much as possible to send off for assay, the whole palaver is so expensive that I try and get as much done in a go as I can. At some point between after school and the post office closing -while I was being manic my daughter asked is she could have a friends 2 unwanted rabbits - well I’m sure I didn’t say yes, as I have been saying no for 14 years - but by the time I was back from the Post office there were two hutches in the garden with two boy bunnies ( they can’t live together) , she twisted her dad round her finger and voila! They are lovely looking, I just hope she does all the looking after.

Good morning, pleased that OH has an appointment Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns and really hoping things work out for you hon, take care of you and little one, sending massive hugs.
Ah wedding couple look lovely Megan @SoSewMegan and such lovely weather too.
Great news Carol @Knittingtopia hopefully you will start to feel well again once you are on the meds.
Sorry to hear you have been unwell Carol @cariadcrafts11 and missed your trip, sending hugs to you and hope you continue to feel better.
Roz @OrchardFelts so impressed, I spent 4 days just sorting through my craft room boxes to tidy up and bag things ready for the workshops and my back is killing me, goodness knows how I would cope with a whole room let alone a lift lol! kudos to you :slight_smile:
Oh dear Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery, hopefully they will be good bunnies :wink: and can I report 2 sales please, finally on the tally this month :slight_smile:

Perhaps the release of the fairy I have had in my drafts will help with sales from a little sprinkle of fairy dust on us all

Good morning Marvels.

Hope all goes well with OH Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns - sending hugs
Glad to hear you are getting the meds you require Carol @Knittingtopia - hopefully you will begin to feel normal again soon.
Hope you are feeling much better now Carol @cariadcrafts11
Good luck with the rabbits Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery - I remember finally giving in to my 2 girls, think they managed to clean them out once! In the end the rabbits became free range and had the run of the garden and put themselves to bed wherever they fancied which minimised the amount to maintenance required!

Well I am working this morning but have the afternoon free and I think I am going to treat myself to a crafty afternoon. My ex is coming round for a bit this evening to help with a bit more loft clearing so I feel justified in leaving it till then.

Nothing new today but hopefully tomorrow …

Heres a relist

Good morning.
Carol @knittingtopia I’m so pleased you got the go ahead for your medication. let’s hope it starts working quickly.

Roz @OrchardFelts if you give it a little break you might find it will help. I remember when we had to clear this flat out ready for new kitchen, bathroom and carpet throughout. It took ages. I was shocked how much rubbish we had collected over 9 years of living here. 2 years on and there is more rubbish.

Colleen @MidnightStarDesigns sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Let’s hope all the medication and appointments help you other half. I know it’s not the same but my partner has severe anxiety and it can be an absolute nightmare. But he did find talking to a canceller (can’t spell it) really helpful and he is now off his antidepressants. Big hugs lovely.

Here’s a pair of earrings

Good morning Marvels,

Thinking of all those going through some kind of physical/emotional trauma at this time. I’ve been there and got the T-shirt for most of it - believe me, things do get better and we are so much stronger than we think.

Went on the photography course yesterday and had so much fun. OK, I’m not a master with my camera right now but, as the instructor said, if you practise for 2-3 hours/day for the next few months, you will have got the hang of it. Right, where do I find an extra 2-3 hours/day!

I made one of these earlier in the week but here’s one in girly colours.

Sandra, main thing is, if you have a camera that has a manual setting, turn it on and get out of the habit of using the iA - instant automatic button. Turn your settings to 5.6 Aperture (or F), 200 ISO, 500 shutter speed and the white balance on automatic. This was his ‘Ready to Go’ setting. Then, if your subject is darker/lighter, adjust the shutter speed/aperture and take some test shots. Simple!
