Hello, to another Wednesday. 5th October sees us celebrating the weird and wonderful workspaces of the world, co-ordinated by the lovely Julia at the Stamping Ground - thanks to all of you for your visit last week and your kind words of support. Mum is still in hospital - they are still trying to stop the bleeding from the mass on her bladder but think now they will have to operate to remove it without waiting for that to happen. She has to be moved to a different hospital for that and we may hear soon when that will happen. (Transport to transfer and a bed being the latest issues...it was going to be Monday. it was going to be Tuesday....)
5th October also sees Dragonsdream TIO celebrating the moon - the choice of one of our new DT members, Blackdragon. Her song choice was not known to me - the Waterboys "Whole of the Moon" but when I googled it I thought it was fabulous. So, here is my "moon" tag.
I used faded jeans distress stain to colour the tag, then the picket fence stain onto the stamp (stampscapes "rising moon") and stamped it onto the tag. Added some inka gold in Haematite and Steel Blue round the edges and some more picket fence stain. Was rummaging in my stamp boxes for some suitable words - couldn't find what I wanted so used a Hero Arts alphabet set to spell out "moonlight" on a scrap of tag, then found an old and unused set from the Stamp Bug with the "mystical" and "magical" which seem to fit the moon theme. The bauble is from a cheapo junkie neclace I bought ages ago in Primark specially to use for things like this. Felt it needed something else, then thought of the mini flock of birds from the Tim Holtz tiny set (last year's QVC special)
Thanks for stopping by, and welcome to my new followers!

glad to see you cracking open the stash...and I remember that song very well (sigh, old or what)
Thanks for the peek! Sarah (at 11)
Love the tag, of course, no, I don't know that song either, but it all sounds very intriguing! (I hope that's spelt right and if it is, that it's the right word!)

Oh my, that moon tag is fabulous, love the colours and texture.
Hope your Mum is sorted soon, its always such a worry when they are ill and in hospital.
Your moon tag is amazing. Very delicate and ethereal. One might almost say mystical! Thank you for sharing it with us.

So sorry you are going through such a rough patch with your mum. Do hope they get her moved and sorted soon. I never understand how they have such "bed issues" but then I don't know the other side of it. Just keep your chin up - I'll put you both in my prayers.
Lovely tags and the colours and the imagery on the moon one is beautiful.
Lovely tag - I get my jewellery from Primark too and have a nice little bundle of those pearls to go on tags! will be singing that song all day now. Hope your Mum is better soon. thanks for sharing.
Fabulous tag and I love that Hero Arts alphabet you used.
All good wishes for your mum!

Hope your mum gets sorted soon - with my cousin we are getting to see the NHS at its best - It is a shame that their capacity is so limited. More a case of you saw the cresent I saw the whole of the moon........(and I join in with those singing along for the day - still could be much worse)

Hi there, hope things improve for your mom real soon. Your moon tag is beautiful and I recognise the stamp from your top tag (I got the other two but not that one!)
Hope that a bed opens up for your mom soon so she can get that bleeding taken care of. Nice looking tags. Great colors! Vickie
Best Wishes to your Mom. Medical stuff is so stressful. I take little things to read and crafts to pass my time.
Love your colors and adorable tags.Hope there's some fun in your week ahead.
I really hope that your mum can move to the other hospital and have the op Helen, keeping my fingers crossed for you all. LOVE the moon tag absolutely stunning and ah, The Waterboys, that takes me back a bit! Always loved that song!

Hi, sorry to hear your mum is still not so good ... hope they get things moving soon so that she can have the op and begin her recovery. Your moonlight tag is just so gorgeous ... the colours are just brilliant and the choice of wording perfect. Hope your week goes well. Elizabeth x #75
Thanks for the birthday wishes -just taking a break to check out my WOYWW blog buddies - oh I do hope your mum is soon better - such a worrying time waiting to hear that they have got things sorted - thinking of you. hugs Jo
Two wonderful tag, love the mystical look of the second one.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for your mother.
Helen, I really hope that your mom will get all the care she needs and pronto. I'm sorry that it seems to be difficult to get her transported to a different hospital. Why is health care such a drag. All the best to her and you.
And those are two very lovely tags.
Beautiful tag and I hope all works out with your mum. Not an easy time for sure!!! Thank you for the visit!
gorgeous tags i love the second one. I hope everything works out ok x x
Beautiful tags, especially the moon one. I got some distress stains at our recent craft show in Devon, and haven't used them much yet - looking forward to trying them properly! The picket fence one is very interesting. Lovely effects you've got.
Both beautiful tags and loving the backgrounds. Fingers crossed that your dear mother is moved soon. x
Lovely tags. Hope you here something positive about your mum soon, the waiting must be very frustrating for you both.
I do hopethe docs sort out what's happening with your mum VERY soon... it's always such a worry when our loved ones are not well.
However... on the 'plus' side... The moon tag is stunning!
Hope your WOYWW was (and is) wonderful!

Gorgeous tags especially the moon one is amazing. Hope your mum is sorted soon. Kezzy x
