Friends birthday card

Hi my friends

It's been a while I'm really sorry. I think my creative brain has been on lock down too. I have reorganized my room to make things more accessible like my dies. They used to be the other side of my workroom but I have moved things around and they are now on a unit right next to my work space, all in their zipped containers which has made the unit very heavy to move but at least they are near to where I work. It still needs a little tweaking but lock down will give me all the time I need.

Like all of you I am really needing time with my family. My life feels empty without hugs from the ones I really love and need to see and just tell then face to face. Zoom is not the same. We had a lovely zoom session last Sunday with Claire Craig and Phoenix. Phoenix had just had his bath and was running about in Claire's yoga room with not a care in the world and decided to do ballet moves, Well it just made us fall about laughing and the more we laughed the more he posed. The innocents is so precious.

How are you all coping with the lock down?

 Other than Paul taking me to the wholesalers 2 wks ago I have not been out since 12th march. He is going to take me again later this week as my knee has got so bad I'm now walking with a limp and pulling the trolley makes walking for the next couple of days very painful. That was going to be my job next after getting my neck sorted, but there is no way that I'm going to go to a hospital until this pandemic is totally under control, so It's just a case of grin and bare it. Oh I hate this growing old/er gracefully! I always intended to to do it disgracefully. There's still time though, right!!!!

Anyway enough now. I have made a birthday card for a friend we go to see every year to celebrate her birthday in June, but because of the you know what we have had to postpone the trip. Even if the campsites open we don't know if she would be happy to socialise even though Paul & I have had Covid19 ( not tested just our Dr's diagnosis over the phone ). So this year she is just going to get her card and a Bloom & Wild letterbox bouquet this year and we'll celebrate  her birthday later in the year covid19 permiitted.

Anyway here goes!



 












Well that's it.

I really hope you are all staying safe. Please take care and I hope to see you here again soon.

Love & hugs to you all
