WOYWW 24.11.10

Hello, fellow WOYWWers - standard phrase to follow - I can't believe it's Wednesday again already. By the time you read this (unless you are real early birds) I will probably be sitting in a(nother) queue at the hospital waiting for more blood tests!   Got to fast from 9pm Tuesday  - and not even a cup of tea first thing in the morning. Yikes, not sure I'll cope with that!!

Some of you may have seen that I got an appointment for the referral to the neuro clinic - next March..... (so presumably it's not life threatening!), whatever is causing my blurred vision!  So I have decided not to worry - although getting a call from my GP surgery asking me to go for a follow up (been tonight) freaked me out a bit.  Hence the blood tests and as routine will also be sent for an echo-cardiogram to make sure my heart is ok.  She didn't seem too worried about the heart murmur though, so I think it is just precautionary.  (You never know what they will find though...)

Anyway, onto proper things, that you will (may be) interested in!! What is on my workdesk tonight (as usual preparing this on a Tuesday night) Well.  Nothing actually, although I have got some more Christmas cards made - had a bit of a blitz at the weekend. 

 (paper from Tim's Seasonal Stack) Chilly - great snowman by Stampotique.

I got the singing hedgehogs done!

 Oops, went shopping again. Not had a chance to use the Art Parts (Wendy Vecchi) yet, but Chilly you can see above!

Here's a treat for you - my pile of WendyVecchi and Tim Holtz stamps - they live here in the corner of my sofa! The earliest Wendy ones are in a binder which is STILL not decorated! The rest are just in huge rings to hold them together.

You can see my new glasses case - the reading ones had to be sent for re-adjustment (they seemed to be focussing when I hold a book at arms length - which I don't - although they were ok for the computer! so they are being redone now) Having to make myself wear the distance ones, it's hard to get used to them so far! The TV is much clearer though.....  And the book "Rebels and Traitors" I nearly finished in surgery (had a LONG wait tonight for my appointment.) It's a novel set at the time of the English Civil War, a period I studied for History A Level back in the late 70's (yeh, I know, showing my age) and which I loved. It is a very good book, I recommend it to anyone fond of historical novels.

And finally, a gift I received from Lynn Stevens who had a blog giveaway recently and whilst I didn't win the main giveaway, she had some RAK's for some extra bloggers.  Thanks again, Lynn!  I love that lace! Check out her fab blog, if you don't know it!

Sorry I have rambled on again, hope you are still with me! Check out the other desks here - there were over 150 last week and I am sorry I didn't get to you all - I did my best! Thank you to all of you who left me comments, I appreciate them all, and to my new followers, welcome.
