Not so much a relist today as a relaunch of a ring that had rubbish photos!
Back later.
Good morning.
I’m pleased to hear more good fairs were had.
A very good friend of mine has said if I want to book a stall she will do it for me. So I have a bit of money to get family Christmas presents.
She is so lovely but I don’t want to take the micky.
I have finally finished going through all the stones and I will definitely be selling some. There is just too many. But they are so pretty if I could keep them in would.
My step dad is happy for me to sell them too.
I have a new bracelet for you today. the photos aren’t fantastic but I’m having to do them from my sofa and the light in my front room is terrible

Small baby quilt in lovely sherbet colours - Sherbet Fizz describes it well.
Hi everyone - slow off the mark this morning - been feeling a bit under the weather over the weekend and my get up and go has got up and gone. Need to find it pretty quick - we have our Christmas Trees light switch on tomorrow and it will be a busy day with the Dickensian evening on as well. Last year we had approx. 1500 visitors and we are only a small village so busy busy . I am down to manage the Craft Stall - all made in the Village and some lovely items. We have struggled with the weather over the weekend getting the trees up onto the houses - at the moment we have put up just over 200 but there are a few more to go - weather difficult at the moment and we need more lights - should look great. Please wind and rain go away for a bit. Be back later to tweet and love

afternoon all…my listing today…
.
Hiya all!!
Many many thanks for your messages and thoughts, really lovely to receive them and I’m so sorry for not getting here to reply, just not felt up to it
Thief maybe will explain, part of an email I drafted and it’s such a long story to type out again!!.
Apologises for the length of this
started last Sunday really up to that point the red line up my arm, had stayed pretty stable, still visible but stable. However last Sunday when I got up it was really red and inflamed and sore, so kept taking antibiotics, but by the evening it wasn’t getting any better and I was really chewed. So we went to the walk in centre who said I need to go straight to hospital ! Ahhhh! At this point it was about 8pm so went straight through got seen but had to wait for a room to come free for examination.
Anyway when we did get seen the doc sent me for X-ray because they were worried about the infection gone into the bone, so had to wait for orthopaedic doc.
He came and had looked at X-ray but he said it hadn’t gone into the bone, original doc came back and said they were going to give me Dose of intervenous antibiotics and had to come back at 8am in the ambalorty care unit. Eventually got home about 1am.
So next morning went in and they give me another dose, saw the doc and the nurse managed to sort the community nurses to give me the antibiotics 4x a day and night at home, but had to go back on Wednesday, which I did got seen straight away bloods done then had to wait for doc, who decided to carry on with antibiotics until Friday.
This was at 10am and by the time I waited for prescription got out at 3.30!!
Had to do the same on Friday but this was more of a nightmare, when the doc eventually came to see me at about 2pm, she was concerned about the thumb and line and wanted an orthapedic surgeon to come and have a look, at this point I broke down it was just too much, I’ve had nothing but one thing after another over the last 4-6 weeks and felt like I was just crumbled!
Anyway when he came he wanted me to stay there and then,have an op in the morning to investigate, omg! Couldn’t believe it! Billy had just gone away to a concert which had been booked for over a year, my mam was at Blackpool and my sisters son had shingles ! So couldn’t think straight about Cameron …broke down and sobbed every time I thought of him.
Anyway long story short he wanted me to go back in morning, so his boss could look at it in the orthapedic ward before his rounds, 8am again, bag packed for stay, nil by mouth. I couldn’t believe it head was a blur. Had to contact Billy, who had just got to his hotel, he had to come straight back cost another £50 for ticket.
Yesterday morning done all of the above, four consultants came in and looked and said to carry on with different antibiotics which I was given on Friday and see what it was like over weekend, as they thought the line had disappeared more then visible. Told me to go back Monday morning same procedure And time!
So just been and he is happy that it is drying out and I must admit it isn’t as swollen and I have more movement in it and it isn’t sore , really it never has been since all the discolouration came out. However I still keep looking at arm petrified in case the red line gets worse, but I kept mentioning it to the specialist and he explained what it was, it’s part of the infection that travels alongside the vein and lymphatic system and the red line means that there is an infection that is still there and not controlled. So fingers crossed it stays stable and doesn’t get worse again and the new antibiotics keep it at bay and hopefully get on top of it.
But I’m my own worst enemy! I can never look on the bright side, always thinking and planning for worst, hence the OCD , anxiety and panic been overwhelming at times !
So hopefully it doesn’t get worse before Thursday which is when I see him at his clinic in the out patients dept,
So sorry for the this, but wanted to get back and explain and tot up my tallies Natalie @NOfkantsCurios 26 stationery and 22 supplies.
Hope to get back and start again tomorrow with it been a new month!
Thanks all so much it means a lot😌 Steph xx

Good afternoon.
It has turned out to be the most gloomiest day I have seen for a while.
I have been watching the wind and rain from my sofa thinking I hope it’s not like this tomorrow.
As I have to go get some of my staples removed.
Eek I don’t want to be blown away 
Well I managed to get a few more photos taken. They are abit dark but not alot I could do about it.

New listing today - Copper Pinecone Necklace. Delighted to have made another sale yesterday on Folksy. Can you add another one to my sales tally for November! (my shop name has changed from hollieeccles to curiousmagpie, the first sale was listed under my name.)
So pleased to have had two sales so far - thank you for all your shares and support xxxxx
Steph @stephshortstationery, glad to have you back but sorry you’ve had such a tough time.
Dawn @hobbitgirlie1880 , if your friend is glad to do your stall for you then why not - its not like you pressurised her. Maybe you could offer her a percentage of the sales for her trouble or just give her a little gift.
Just popping in to report another sale Natalie @NOfkantsCurios (total = 18) Yipee - 8 hours left of this month, wonder if I could pick up another 2 to reach 20 - somehow I doubt it! Just seen my folksy bill this month - need another sale to pay it! Not complaining though, loving all the happy dancing, should be losing a bit of weight by now but sadly not. Perhaps my dancing needs to be a little more active rather than metaphorical!
Sadly just picked up a speeding ticket so will have to make a few sales to cover that. 
Slowly making my way through my “to do” list. Still about 5 loads of washing to do, you would think there were more than 2 of us living here. Daughter came home early from school today and put a spanner in the works - just can’t seem to get on when she is here! Have put off the craft room tidy until tomorrow.
Right off to see what else I can tick off the list.
Jings Steph, I hope it clears up in no time for you and you have no more of all that running around. You need a good couple of weeks in the sun when all this is over. Take care of yourself xx
Big hugs for you glad to see you back on here 
Have just ordered your heartbeat necklace as a fun pressie!
So sorry to hear off your terrible time. Hope it continues to improve. It’s good to have you back but remember to take good care of yourself.
Poor you Steph! I would have been totally the same, beside myself with all the back and to, and not having your support peeps at hand, you had every right to burst into tears and cry all over the staff! I know I would have!
I do hope that the small improvement you have seen, continues and that you are now turning the corner and winning the battle with this persistent infection!
Sending careful not to jar hugs and lots of them!

Well done everyone on your sales today! Let’s hope for a mega final sales rush for the last few hours of November!

Thinking of you Steph @stephshortstationery - all the very best.
