photographing some of the new elves, originally uploaded by Sleeping Elf ..CHRISTMAS IS COMMING ...

so far today its not stopped snowing ..
the roads are appalling ...nothing is going nowhere
Were snuggled up in home ..log fire glowing and Yankie Candles burning
Christmas TV on ..kids are at friends ..and its lovely
going to make Pete some Vege - low fat low sugar mince pies LOL
I feel quite festive ..
The snow is falling thick and fast
and dont care as long as we can get to the hospital Monday for Petes second lot of Chemo .
.I have a 4x4 so we should be OK
looks like the only things moving today are the 4x4s

Im finishing this weeks wigs to go out Tuesday ...our post is diabolical right now ..and post has slowed right down
so I dont expect anything else to arrive before Christmas

update

I cannot begin to write about what we are going through

I had no idea my world would fall apart like this ...

my most precious husband has advanced cancer and we and our family are devastated

..I am asking for help .were I can get it .my Daughter is helping me to get out orders and dolls paid for

this are our priority ..they have to be ...it is my job ..and I have to look after my family too

questions about future orders ...I promise I will get around to them ...but its taking me time

orders are coming in thick an fast from my site ..all will be dispatched by the Christmas deadline

any missing orders will be replaced

if you haven't received your order

E.MAIL ME YOUR FULL NAME ADDRESS AND WHAT YOU ORDERED

this will save time ..I can just send out a replacement

at this moment in time I spend most of my hours , hospital and with Pete

I have very little time for getting to my PC

thank you for all of the phone calls ,,,PMs and e.mails ..at the moment I cant get around to answering them all

We are hopefull and positive ..we will beat this evil illness that has taken over our life right now

Im more behind than I thought I would be
and I spent most of today sorting out my work room ...
Pete wants me to return to some form of normality
but Im finding it hard to settle
but
Etsy sales will be the weekend ( 6th and 7th )
Lati white ...Unoa and Blythe size

clothes will have to be next month

light at the end of the tunnel

Pete has been away from me a week ...and its slaying me
Im exhausted I out of the house more times than Im in ...I havent got much done this week at all

but everyone who is waiting for an order now ..it will be shipped next week ..Pete is comming out of hospital tommorow and although he is still in bed ..I shall be working from home ...so I can look after him and get the wigs done and the dolls out

thank you everyone for bearing with me xx

away from the Pc

Im checking in for orders and e.mails
every couple of days

thank you everyone who is preying ..sending healing Vibes and wishing us well
it means so much to me ..to us ..thank you

especially Ragna ..she has kept me focused
and Jean ,she has been my rock

Pete is in Hospital ..the operation went well ..were hopeing now to get the results of the Cat scan
but he is well ..eating chocolate ..thats my Man ..and I love him for it
and he wants to get back hope to the Van ...

APRIL ..TOTNES ! we have it planned

on the way...

Clent in autumn, originally uploaded by Sleeping Elf -today is better xx.

all of the dolls were sent out Friday ..and I have all the addresses and wig orders printed off for next week ..those will go out by the end of this week
so if your waiting for a wig order ...next week

we have had 2 beautiful Autumn weekends ..Pete is healing well ..we can manage a short walk ...so we do
Im hoping we get one more ..beautiful day next Sunday ..although Pete has to phone
the Hospital Sunday to book his bed for Monday ..then he has to have his operation
1 more weekend this Autumn would be nice ..because he is going to be off his feet for 6-8 weeks
He has his pre-op Monday ...MRI Thursday ...then phone Sunday ..in Monday

I dont think Im going to be totally happy until its out of him and we get the results back from the Scan ...and we know what were up against
but every day we live it to its fullest ...we are dressing the house up next week for Halloween :)
Its not going to beat us !

fAMILY FUN - rOSIES 18TH- all of us, originally uploaded by Sleeping Elf ....?.

My life fell apart this week ...its been a roller coaster
and I am not handling things very well right now

Pete has got to go in for emergency surgery ..the lumps that were taken for a biopsy were MM cells

Malignant Melanoma ...
a rare form ...that didn't actually show up on his skin ...
the first we knew about it was a few weeks back when he found this lump

Im trying desperately to keep orders flowing smoothly
and get dolls out ...but some days ..I fall apart ...
this past week has been hell
and any day now ..we will get the news he has to go in to have his lymph gland removed and find out if its spread
I cant believe this has happened to my wonderful man ..
at the moment he is well and strong ...and has no symptoms at all any were ..his blood work is good and there was nothing on his lungs
we are going to fight every inch of the way ....

Im selling off a large part of my collection
I just wan to make things a little easier for us whilst we fight this thing

October Updates

my favorite so far,, originally uploaded by Sleeping Elf ..is back at work :).

I thought September was bad ...it ended the worse way possible
the new`s from my Husbands biopsy isnt the best we could want
the lump they removed was a Melanoma

so we will be retuning to Hospital Tuesday

so subsequently Im a little behind ...some wigs will be listed today
Curly Tots will be listed Monday
Blythe and Lati white
Wednesday

should you buy from all listings I will refund the subsequent postage
you will only pay for postage once

thank you for everyone who is sending messages
they mean a lot to us both xx
