its been a year ago today ..my old friend ...
it still hurts ..and I still miss you
I learnt a lot about Maddie and loved her for it
Ive been blessed with Zack , Sam and Lola
and for a brief time Winnie
and I love them all ..they fill the hole you left in my heart ..but will never replace you my old boy xx
whats going on in my life ..Carrie Attwood , SleepingElf ..the things I make and sell .Hobbies ..stuff I love
Stan ..asleep again
Lola
just forget those little things ...you know you want a cuddle me !, originally uploaded by Sleeping elf.
a week on and on the mend ..what ever she had scarred the hell out of me
she is still on antibiotics ..she has poorly eyes right now
but ..she is so much better ..eating well and NOT sleeping as much
I cant tell you how happy its made me having her in my life
the thought of loosing her last week was awful
she is so much better its hard to believe looking and those pictures how ill she has been
today I bought myself flowers
Lola came home yesterday ..she still isnt well..but were getting there I think ...I was worried to death this morning ..last night she went all sleepy again ..Im just paranoid ...Ive lost 3 cats in 11 months ..and I couldnt face loosing another yet
but she woke up better ..she is still sleepy ..but ..we I think she is on the mend
Mmmmmm Ruki ...I LOVE this ..hate the cuts ..but I am hoping they will do the face-up without them
I have just enough to get 2 more tan ..I think LOL
THIS and Belle ...fraid the HK ones I WILL have to give a miss this time if I GET THESE 2 TAN
..last time I didnt get the tan though ...I never forgave myself ..and I have never been able to get a tan Momo again ..if I let tan Belle and Ruki go ..I think I will regret it
I dashed her to the vets
Lola was kept in last night ..her temperature is still very very high , but Mike phoned as at 10.30 she has picked up a little and is eating ...so I slept better but missed her ...this is my first cat Pete has let me keep in with me ..he doesn't like cats in the bedroom ...but Lola cries and gets lonely
so she sleeps next to the bed ..she is ever so good ..she never gets on the bed until 7.00 ..she is my own little alarm clock
This morning Alex phoned me ...Lola is eating everything she is given ..but her temperature is still very high and she is sleeping a lot of the time ..she is on a drip for antibiotics and given an injection ..and something else ..I forgot ...they are hoping by this afternoon her temperature will drop more
looks like another night away from us ..
as if her temperature hasn't dropped enough for it to be safe
, she has to stay in
she is still on a drip ..and I can go visit her in an hour
the worrying thing is they cant find anything wrong with her
11.15
went to Visit Lola ...she perked up ..wolfed down the chicken ..and played with my Lola Rose bracelets and for a time ..then fell asleep ..then woke and we watched the bus`s and the traffic
she isn't at all her self ..her eyes are running ..and she feels so weak in my hands
then she would just look up at me with those huge sad eyes
I held her for almost an hour ..and let them have her back
she is going to stop in again tonight ...I just hope her temperature drops ..its still 40.1
its a long day ..Im doing work ..but my heart isn't in it
another dream girl
weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
stricly she is a gloomy Belle , but I have her on a Laches body ...she is so sweet on the tiny body
OK wig news
no flights are leaveing the Uk ,...Im still takeing and doing orders ..and as soon as I know its Ok ..THEY WILL GO UP THE POST OFFICE ..ONE BATCH or orders is stuck intranset
there is NOTHING AT ALL I can do about it
but all the others ..I will save untill AIRMAIL resumes ..then I Will send them out xx
Sam helping
Im not online too much at the moment
I have a whopping backlog of orders I'm ploughing through
I vastly underestimated how long it would take to make up the curly tot wigs
I am perming them now ..so it takes much longer ..but the results more permanent
I am aiming to get my back logs out by the end of the week
when Im not making up the wigs ...I am hunting for another kitten
Im missing Winnie like crazy ..so is Zack ..he has no-one to play with ...Sam largely ..sleeps ..by me ..and that's it
he is so laid back nothing bothers him ..except if I wont pick him up and love him when HE wants me too
but we are at the top of a list of British short hairs ..we are going to view them May 16th ...cant wait
and Im waitng to here back if I have a very special little girl
...so kitty talk over ..wig talk
Curly tots /almost done ..custom cut and curls ...almost done
hope to have caught up by the end of this week
Dolls all to be posted by the end of the week
beloved winnie
what a week ...
Sunday ..got to the show and they never received my booking ..
I had some lovely offers of help ..and the organiser got me an extra table ...it was a little tense
the clutch went on the car driving home ...so we have no car for Miniatura ..they cant fix it untill next week
then to top it off
Winnie didn't come home Monday ...I knew in my heart something was wrong
she had a very short life ..but was loved and adored
and I cant thank you all enough for the personal messages I have got
when you work for yourself like I do ..it can be very isolated ..and I dont mind ...I love my work ..and my cats are my constant companions ...they are sat on the table by me now ...:)
loosing one of them is like losing a friend
and Winnie ...lol she never shut up ..never ,,she was always "talking " jumping on me or the other cats ..she demand our attention all of the time ..and we loved it ...
so its very quiet without her
and I have had such lovely messages they have so helped ...thank you all xx
Happy Mothers day !!!
up to my eyes in it ...
anyone waiting for me to e.mail them ...please bear with me
I have been inundated with curly tot inquiries and orders ,,and Im picking through them
YES ,,,Im making more
Yes ..Im making more boots
and some outfits ,
Yes I am taking orders ..
.wait list is a month now ,.and potentially getting longer by the day
but once your on it ..I will try and get your things out as fast as I can
its because I have 2 exhibitions coming up ..so I am trying to fit in dressing some fullsets and making my bears with making up orders
Once March is out of the way ..orders will speed up again
the babies come out to play again
Ok so 2010
didn't start quite how I planned ..colds ..cough ..chest infections ..Sinusitis ...Respiratory infection ..and now ...another cold
the joys of working for yourself ..what stress LOL
Im still managing my 3 happy thoughts a day
and manage it ...I do feel blessed ,,I have an amazing husband ,,,who only flinched slightly when I told him I had gone on the wait list for an enchanted doll ..and said he liked my new Mooqla
my kids a re great ..we rarely argue ...in face we have a pretty good laugh ..and my cats ...Winny and Zack are great ..but little Sam ...still smaller than the other 2 ..he is devoted to me ...and I to him ...I dont have favorites ..honest ..but I saved him ..and its like he knows ...wonderful animal
and spring is coming ..I can feel it ...I see it every day in my work room, buds pushing through the soil ..it's coming
I havent felt this creative since ....Years ..watch this space
Miniatura is 2 weeks a way and I have 2 projects ..and 3 boy dolls ...and hopefully the Thistledown will be here
IM GOING WILD with my wigs ..my beautiful tan babies are my inspiration
god forbid if the HK release are tan ...i THINK i WILL GO A LITTLE CRAZY!
I want a tan Momo and tan Cookie Im thinking :)
I have a box of vintage lace ..violet has a collar on at the moment ,,,Miniatura Im after some silk ...I can feel a gown coming on ............hand made silk roses and vintage lace ..with lati tan
I know I should be thinking of my own tinys comming ...I am honest
and at last I have that illusive boot ...for Lati and my large dolls ..yay
yup feeling good !
