Never again please....

Well the list has gone out of the window already, and I am a day behind plan. But its totally OK with me. Monday brought a very unexpected and scary day, which I hope will never happen again. I don't want to go into every detail as I'm sure Chris would rather I didn't.

Monday morning, enjoyed a lie in with a cup of tea. C went to the bank and was due at the doctors shortly after. I jumped in the shower and then dried my hair. I was then called by what I thought was Chris but it wasn't, it was the nurse from the surgery calling from his phone. He'd passed out and they were that concerned they'd called an ambulance. I rushed to the doctors and went in the ambulance. We spent all day in the hospital waiting for various tests and xrays to be done. And after words like, really slow arresting heart rate, pace maker and more tests we were allowed to take him home.

He is resting and not stressing (like he normally does) and has to go back for some more tests next week. Just pleased that he's home and OK. I have to admit I have pampered him profusely today, mainly out of sheer relief. Its amazing how you react in a crisis, I think I was running totally on adrenalin yesterday.......40 seconds and I was in the car and on my way.

He's apologised about 100 times that he took a day of my plan away.....as if I was even bothered about that. Sometimes I don't think he realises how important he is to me!!!

Very!! I'm off for a cuddle :D

Time off to prep

There has been a little bit of progress this weekend, a lot of relaxing and more list writing. This coming week I'm off work, I will be trying to finish off all my samples for the trade fair (as well as lots of other jobs too).

Here is another new creation, but I've decided not to reveal the finished bag, it will spoil it for the trade fair if I show you everything.

I have written a precise list of tasks to do each day this week, lets hope I stick to it!! Now I have the studio to work in it shouldn't be difficult to stay focused.

I treated myself to a Swedish massage on Friday, and I have to say its the first time in a long time that I've felt really relaxed. Bliss!

Ooooh look at what she's gone and done now!!!!

It started with reading a blog post, then a click, then signing in as draft.blogger.....this is what happens when bagladee (me) is left unsupervised with a computer and a new gadgety thing to play with (if you are confused as to what I'm waffling on about, its my blog layout).

Apparently there is this wonderful new beta version of blogger that lets you tinker with EVERYTHING!!!! Do they not know what I am capable of?!?!? An hour later and I had managed to jumble it all up, yes folks that's right. Followers was over here <----- links over there ------> and I was beginning to become very cross. Much later, I started to get the hang of things and it started looking like my blog again (well almost). Not knowing whether to switch it all back (if I can ever figure out how to do that?) I thought I'd throw it out to you and see what you thought?

So please feel free to leave your comments below......thanks very muchly :D

'THE' list

It was time to revisit the 'huge floor list' again. So armed with lots of paper, some pens and me sat in the middle I started to plan out my list. 30 minutes later and lots of scribbling I was starting to get somewhere.

Surprisingly there were a lot of things completed (from the previous list) which could be crossed off. I then used the 'huge list' to write a To Do list in my note book, I carry this everywhere with me which is a good reminder of what is next. There was a feeling of calm once I realised that 'THE' list was not actually as bad as I had been winding myself up to thinking it was.

There are still some samples to complete but I am over a third of the way there. Initial ideas for all my literature is complete just need to get onto Moo.com and get it ordered. Struggling to write a press release at the moment so if anyone has any tips or a good website I can look at I'd really appreciate it. I booked my hotel for the days of the trade fair last night, its a lovely chain of hotels and they have Wi-fi so I'll be set. All the display stuff Chris is taking care of.....he has all the details so I'm excited to see what he comes up with (obviously guided in the right (my) direction by me!!) :D

I think that just about covers everything.....so feeling calm and organised I'm off to tackle the next item on my list.

Dah dah dah dah

Here comes the bridal cushion, all soft and felty :D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Don't they look cute? All finished this afternoon and will be packaged up in the morning ready for the post office. These little cushions will be winging their way all the way to Illinois, USA (I know wow I cant believe it either!!) And it was lovely to have a short break from the samples......but now back to it.

Have a fab weekend xxx

A break from samples

To make 2 made to order cushions, I love making these cushions they are for a wedding gift and it always makes me a bit mushy the thought of getting married. Awwwwww :D

Nothing better than sitting with a cup of tea, the cat on my lap and my sewing tray beside me. Ahhhh the perfect way to end another stressful day (Oh sewing how I love thee!!) :D

Grrrrrrr!!!

Bad day at work + a cracked windscreen = need to scoff chocolates and drink wine!!!

See you tomorrow for happy thoughts :D
