Hi My Friends.
6 years ago today 03-03-16 at 22.22pm our beautiful Evelyn was born sleeping. The past 3 days have been a challenge.
1st March was Evelyn's due date, overnight 1st-2nd Evelyn passed away and that was confirmed after a frantic drive to get Claire to the hospital. Evelyn was born sleeping on the 3rd March.
I've been in contact with Claire all week not only because of the dreaded 3 days but Claire also has Covid, even though she has been triple jabbed she is really poorly. I can't go over to see her as I'm not driving because of my knee and she won't let me in case I catch it and jeopardize a cancellation for an earlier op. So it's only phone hugs.
I also found out today from Craig that he is also positive with Covid. It's the 1st day of him knowing he's positive and is feeling achy, a very sore throat and generally unwell and exhausted, he is also triple jabbed. So no visits from my family for a while 😢.
I made Evelyn this card today. I love the concept of the card but I was so disappointed with the fairy stamp. My 1st attempt was yesterday only to find out that my stamp had a fault. It has a fault by the arm and legs, it has a slight dent. So when I tried again today I had to ink the stamp on the plastic sheet it came on and press into the dent lightly with my fingers which erased most of the white line on her arm and leg and left white spaces that I had to colour in with black ink ink. After several attempts this was the best one. I've never done this kind of blending to create an atmospheric back ground but Thanks to Tracy at Lavinia stamps I am quite pleased with this finished card ( except for the faulty stamp. ) Anyway I hope you like it too, and I really must that new camera I keep talking about too.

Hi Tina, sending hugs to you all at this difficult time. I always think of you all this week XXX
ReplyDeleteI hope Clare and Craig are starting to feel better. Two of my friends have it at the moment, both 3x jabbed and they felt awful first few days then brightened right up. I hope this is how Clare and Craig are now.
Big hugs and pint sized cuddles for my doggy pal XXX

I've been thinking of you so much sweetheart. I lit a candle for Evelyn as I always do.
ReplyDeleteBoth Andy and I can't think of anything worse, and I hate being so far away from you, I'll never forget your phone call. And no matter what happens I'll never forget you.
Love to you, Paul and dearest Claire. You always share the most beautiful cards with us but once a year there's always one that's extra special ❤ xxx
Hi Steph
ReplyDeleteI remember that call as if it was yesterday. I remember you congratulating me with a very happy and excited tone until you heard me crying,I remember hearing you cry in disbelief, it brings tears even now thinking about it and you've been there ever since for me. Thank you XX.
Thank you about the card. I just wish I hadn't had a faulty fairy stamp and the proper branch stamp and not the tree stamp that I only inked half of it. If I'd had the branch stamp she would have been looking away from the tree as opposed to looking into it, never mind I liked in the end or I wouldn't have posted it, you know me that much.
Lots Of Love & Hugs to you Steph, Andy, Lou, Lottie & Craig. Oh how could I forget CASSIE XX
