Hello once again my dear blogging friends. Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my mother in law. Last week we were told to prepare for the worse as she probably would not survive the next 24 hours, but she is still with us, the doctors now tell us that they don't know how much longer she can last, it could be days or weeks. I sat with her for a few hours this morning but she didn't know I was there, when she does open her eyes she doesn't recognise or respond to anyone. We have been told her kidneys can no longer do the job they are supposed to and she has also lost lost the ability to swallow, it is all so sad.
When I arrived home from the hospital I spent the afternoon in my craft room, it always helps to take my mind of things that I don't want to think about.
I bought the lovely image called 'Friends puppy & chick' from Birdie Brown who has some really lovely digi stamps, I coloured the image with promarkers, I paper pieced the umbrella but didn't realise it had slipped slightly out of place on the wet glue until it was too late, the papers are Papermania the cloud is a Memory box die and the sentiment is Do crafts stamp.
Thank you for popping by to visit my blog today xx
Big Hugs to you Janet, so sorry to hear about your mil xxx

ReplyDeleteHello Janet.
ReplyDeleteI really am sorry to hear about your Mother in Law. It must be heart breaking for you to see her like that but at least you are there for her.
Your card is wonderful. I LOVE that cute image and I think the paper-pieced umbrella looks good like that, it make is more dimensional. The colours and layout are fabulous and the sentiment is beautiful
Take care, it's good that your crafting helps to take your mind of things a bit.
Hugs Sue

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your Mother in law. I lost my MIL couple months ago. We knew it was coming sooner or later but one can never in million years prepare for something like this.
You and your family are in my thoughts,Janet.
Your card is beautiful. Brought a smile to my face with the image you used..... super sweet.
Love the soft colour palette too.
Hugs from me
