Overwhelmed....
A good word for today as that's how I'm feeling right about now.... and not just in a bad way either...
A few months back I posted about our little girl-cat, Miss Josie, and how she was suffering from renal failure... today I am happy to say that diagnosis just may have been wrong. The blood work certainly showed her kidneys weren't working properly but two months later, after a whole lot of pampering, she is a completely different cat.
Miss Josy-phine has gained almost a whole pound! And judging by the photo below, doing so seems to have worn her out...
Thank you to all of you who wished her well - so far so good!
A month or so ago Angela from The English Romantic did a post about some little pouches she was making for an upcoming workshop. I thought they were adorable and told her so and she generously offered to send me one.... and this is what she sent me!
A bundle of little packages, all tied up with pretty blue lace and flowers....
and inside one was this...
this is the inside of the flap - the most charming couched flower, all a-sparkle with hints of gold metallic thread... simple beautiful, in all it's simplicity....
and she also included some of her hand-dyed, hand-cut silk ribbons
adorned on the front of the card with a beautiful flower and beads
a lavender scented silk hear, complete with a velvet rose
and a package of these velvety hydrangea blossoms, perfect for my own crafting pleasure
If you've never been to Angela's blog, you must visit soon!
And finally, I am feeling overwhelmed because once again, yet again, as usual, I have taken on far too much. I don't seem to ever learn, not even the hard way... and as a result of my own folly, I have had almost no creative time in the past two months - I hardly know what the inside of my sewing room looks like anymore and have no idea where anything is as it's been so long since I looked. But out of every bad thing, comes something good - and this is no exception...
at least it's neat!
