LittlemouseLilly Makes Part Two

My main passion is sewing, but recently I have discovered that jewellery making is very soothing.


Here are my latest creations (a couple have been posted before, but I have taken better photos of them).


Please tell me what you think - and if there is one that you would like please let me know :)

In all their collective glory :)

I love the little dice beads so each piece has at least one, I have also used crystal beads, pearls, charms and garnet chips that were up-cycled from a broken necklace.

Two more sleeps and we get the keys to our new house 


So I will be very busy over the next few weeks and will have intermittent internet access. 


I will still take each days photo (I have written the list into my trusty filofax), but there will be some days that I wont be able to upload them. I will upload as and when I find internet access.


And I using my trusty phone I will try and keep up to date with everyone else's.


I am really enjoying this challenge and look forwards to seeing every bodies interpretation to the themes. And most importantly I have made some lovely new friends.

Looking down


Clinging on to summer

The temperature still has to drop a little bit more before I retire my fitflop for the year - I have been known to be sockless into October :)


(But I do have to admit to putting on socks in the evening as I suffer from mild raynauds syndrome).


And the bonus shot for the day because we were very excited about new toys* (even though post office stung us £17 some for VAT (which we were expecting) but most of it was for a handling fee - handling fee WTF we paid postage and packaging so why does a package from American attract a handling fee? - oh well rant over):

*Limited edition collectables - which we will devalue and take out of the box to play with :) 
Yes we're in our 30's but you're never to old for toys.....

I had to admit defeat today

This morning it took me an hour and a half to get up.


An hour to drive to work (as I left latter than normal I hit traffic).


And then about another hour and a half to admit defeat.


I am not Super Mouse

I rang the doctor and got an emergency appointment (one of those appointments where you have to tell the receptionist what's wrong so she can tell the doctor who then decides if you are sick enough to be seen).


I barely made it out of the office building before bursting into tears and cried the whole way home.

Trip to the doctors:
Sat in waiting room fighting back tears and then came my turn.


Burst back into tears before I had even got into the the doctors room.


Doctor: so what's wrong
Me: I been stupid and have been over doing it.....again. In Pain. Not as bad as it has been, nerves dont feel on fire (yet) but hurt all over. Have headache. Wake up and don't feel like I've had any sleep at all. My normal painkillers just aren't doing anything. We're moving so that's not helping and I had an infection a few weeks ago that. 
Doctor: so do you think you need time off work?
Me: No. Think I can cope if I can just get the pain under control
Doctor: You've had Tramadol in the past does that help
Me: Never taken it for ME before, had it for bad back and ages ago when I had wisdom teeth out. Had to take it with the co-codamol for it to have any effect.
Doctor: Well you can take it with your co-codamol, as the co-codamol normally works the Tramadol will just give it that bit extra
Me: Ok - I find that I do respond better to opiate based pain relief
Doctor: Give it a try, start off using both and you may then find that just the Tramadol will be enough. Come back and see me if it doesn't help
Me: Ok. Thank you


So 2 tablets of co-codamol* and 2 tablets of tramadol* latter I still ache but not as much and  headache has gone, think I might finally be able to manage a nap (once I have drunk my tea - think I have stayed awake long enough to rule out an allergic reaction).


*these are the type of painkillers they would give you after surgery and normally only one type - the packets warn that they are for severe pain


Now anyone who has taken any form of opiate painkiller before will be well acquainted with the opiate fairy, she sprinkles magic fairy dust and soothes away the pain. Well here is a picture of mine:

My biggest fear is that I will have a total relapse :(


I have had ME my whole adult life, you would have thought that I would have learnt by now....


....but then everyone slips up once in a while and its how you deal with it that counts so maybe I am super mouse after all!

Todays theme was Looking up


I was going to look up into the branches of a tree but well its a bit grim outside today and I didn't fancy getting wet.


Now as I was trying to work out what to do I spotted Ferd lolling on the sofa with his head hanging off the edge (its a pose that he likes - generally the term 'spaniel' pretty much explains the mental things that he does).
