so which face ..Im not sure yet

what a beautiful day

It is soooooooooooooooo hot these past few days ..did a full week last week wig makeing and drying ...Im on-top of all my orders

so we had a day off ..a walk in the Wire Forest ..and picnic ..it was stunning

had a wonderful day ..only down side

I took a fall ...sigh ...its been a long time since I took a dive

thank God there was no one around ...

it reminded me ..Im overweight

all that weight crashing down on my knee and hands ..as I hit the dirt I can remember keeping my chin up

and thinking ..please God dont let me break anything not this time ..Im in the middle of a forest with 2 and a half miles to get back to the car LOL

Today Im black and blue ...and have a grim determination to get to my goal weight

I will do it ..so next time I take that walk , I will enjoy it more

Stan ..asleep again

Stan ..asleep again, originally uploaded by Sleeping elf.

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

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

today I bought myself flowers ...I fancied cheering myself up ..without eating a ton of chocolate !
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

Poor Lola ..took suddenly ill yesterday ...she was very drowsy and wouldn't eat her favorite chicken..half an hour later ..that fast ,she went off her legs went floppy and unresponsive :(
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

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

beloved winnie, originally uploaded by SleepingElf is just ...sad .........

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 !!!

what a treat .

Pearls .Chocolate ...Lemon Drizzle Cake ...and Tim Burtons ,,Alice in Wonderland

what a visual treat

you know I read the critics thought it was rubbish ...they must of been watching a different film

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp at their best ...it was wonderful ..Im so inspired
