I'm Back . . . . . . . . .


Good morning everyone. I'm back. Did you miss me lol?

Hope you're all ok? I'm not doing too badly. I was terrified on Friday but Mr D and the Cardiology team were lovely and managed to calm me a little. Two shocks later, heart was back in normal rhythm but I have slight burns on my chest and back (they itched like crazy for a couple of days) and I felt like I've been kicked in the chest but each day it gets better.
Just got to hope that the heart stays in normal rhythm and doesn't decide it preferred the chaotic one lol!!! The longer it can stay in normal rhythm, the more chance it has of staying that way so the next few weeks are a big test.***** see below.
Thank you for your good wishes and thoughts. They have been very much appreciated.

Now, before I got chance to show you all the samples from John's last shows, he's back on TV again with some more samples I made so I thought I'd better show one of these latest ones (Hopefully you may see them on Hochanda). Mine all feature Sue Wilson's Doodle Rose Wreath die set with the dies used in different ways on some of them. The set was a pressie from John to keep my mind on crafty things rather than anything else.


Ingredients
Cream and rich plum Foundation card
Sue Wilson Doodle Rose Wreath dies
John Lockwood sentiment
Sweet Plum Memento Dewdrop ink
Plum ribbon
Scored with a Hougie
Pearlage


Just simple layers using the rose die to create a border. Hopefully, something a little different to give another look for the die.

Met up with John yesterday for a late lunch on his way to the studio. It was nice to have a normal conversation and a laugh without health issues taking over.

Anyhoo, I'm still working my way round to everyone's blogs so I will be visiting soon, promise.

Off to schedule this now so I can watch Corrie then John.

Thanks again for bearing with me. Hopefully things will continue to improve and get back to normal eventually.

***** Update ........ sadly, as this post was already scheduled, I went back into A/Fib yesterday (Thursday) and spent all day back at the hospital. Another trace of virus showing on blood tests so that may have triggered it. Finally escaped at 9.45pm as I didn't want to stay in. So back to square one but consultants secretary was on the phone to me at 8.30am this morning (Friday) to sort out more appointments.
Feel so upset as I had hoped things were on the up but there we go. 
Thank you for the positive comments already made.

  17. So pleased to hear you are feeling more like yourself - did email John to ask after you.
    Love the card - such clean lines.
    Haven't caught John's shows - had to leave home in a hurry on Tuesday with no time to set recorder, as my new little granddaughter was on the way and I was asked to look after my other little darling - she's 4. All well now and 2 gorgeous little ones to enjoy. Alexandra and Eleanor.
    Keep looking after yourself.
