She Does This To Me and Gets Away With It.

I am speechless, which, for those who know me, know that isn't me.  i have just heard back from the Police, and this woman who caused these injuries, is going to walk away without being charged with ANYTHING!!! 

Apparently her eyesight is very poor and it won;t be long before she will not be allowed to ride her mobility scooter.  Bring it on!  Bring that day forward in a hurry.  She should not be out and about on her scooter if she can't see well enough to NOT run people over.

 I myself have a sight impairment, but I have never done this to anyone, or even come close to it.  I have ad my eyesight issues for 60 years, I have successfully ridden horses for many years, roller and ice skated, ridden skateboards and scooters, and I have NEVER had an accident. The Police have advised me to lodge a complaint at the shopping mall where this woman hangs out, and to show them the photo's of my injuries, caused by her.

That's my goal for today, to go to the mall security and let them know what's happened.  She also almost run me over again last week!  I was about to leave the bathroom at the mall, and for some reason when I got to the exit, I stopped.  At that same second, 'she' (the woman who run me over) whizzed past at speed.  The bathroom exit comes into a narrow hallway.  Had I not stopped (female intuition?) I would have been hit for a second time.  "She" never even saw me as she was looking the other way for some reason.   

Above is my thigh injury as of two days ago.  It is healing, but it is still quite painful.  Thank you for your patience with me and reading my rants!  Thanks for dropping by!

Have a SUNSHINE day...stay safe!  {HUGS} from me to YOU:-)

Folded Card

I saw a video of how this card was made.  She called it a "W" card, but I don't think that is the proper name.  I didn't write down any measurements, because I HATE measuring cards, I get it all wrong:-(  I just watched how she made the card and then made this one.  I like how it came out!

It wasn't hard to make, which surprised me because I thought it looked challenging.  I left a white panel on the back of the card to write a message on. 

Below are a couple of photo's of "Romeo-Valentino".  When it gets hot, which it is right now because we are into Summer, he lies on his back on the kitchen floor.  He stays there for ages!

Note Cards

I just made these note cards using some scraps of paper and card.  They measure just over 3 3/4 by 2 1/4 inch. I am not sure what I will use them yet. 

Further to my post before this, I am still not receiving notifications that someone has left a comment on my blog:-(  It worked for ten minutes and now it's back to me not getting the notifications.  Andrea emailed me and said she had just left me a comment, but I have no notification from blogger that a comment is ready for modification:-(  I have checked and re-checked my settings and by MY account, I should be getting notified by email.  I am SOOOOO frustrated as nothing I do seem t fix the problem.  PLEASE, if you leave me a comment and I don't acknowledge or publish it within a few days, please email me to let me know.  I WILL get to the bottom of this!

A Huge Apology and a Huge Thank You to YOU!

OMG, I am SO sorry to all my readers, I have just discovered I had 49 comments that needed publishing.  I had no notification that they were even there.  I have no idea why, as far as I know I have not changed any settings on my blog.  I have just published them all now. I have to go into the settings again and make sure my email address is there - it should be - and check everything is ok.  Thank you for your comments and especially the ones regarding my recent accident/injuries.  I am recovering slowly and can now walk a lot better.  My left ankle is still quite swollen and sore, but it's getting better each day.  I am still having my thigh injury cleaned and dressed every three days, but it is slowly healing:-)  Just waiting to hear from the Police as to what the lady who hit me will be charged with.

Ok, that's all for now.  Thank you all SO much for your comments:-)

Christmas Top Hat

I made this little top hat this morning.  It is about 3 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches across.  

I decorated it with various bits of Christmas decorations.  I glued each white pom-pom on the hat using some fabric glue.

And this (below) is the yoghurt container I made the top hat from!  I turned it upside down so the top of the yoghurt container was the brim of the hat.  Next time I will make the top hat with the top of the yoghurt container at the top of the hat.  This way I can put a sinker in the container to give it some weight so it is more stable.

This was fun to make and I think I might make some more in time for next Christmas!

Art Impressions Water Colour Stamping

 These are two more AI Water Colour Stamped cards I made.  I am slowly finding my way with these stamps, and I have watched some great videos on you tube about how it's done.  Lots of fun!  Lot's to learn:-)  Life is like that!

Cards, Water Coloured Cats, and Calendars!

I am still in pain from being run over, and the ACC nurse is still coming twice a week to clean and dress my thigh injury.  It is healing slowly, but is still oozing blood.

The card above was a late Christmas one I had made but never got around to posting it.  It's quite sparkly IRL!  The photo below shows some of the sparkle.

The next two photos are of my very first attempt at using the Art Impressions Water Colour stamps.  I am happy with how they turned out:-)  I just need some grey/charcoal coloured pens, but am unable to get to the art shop at the moment because of my injuries and not being able to walk far because of the pain in my ankles.

Below is a calendar I made recently.  A friend had given me a set of different coloured cards, and I cut them in half and had enough pieces to make two 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 inch calendars.  It is really nice glossy card and I had loads of fun making these calendars!  Sitting down isn't quite so painful as it was, so I was able to get crafting again:-)  This first photo below shows the calendar in a plastic frame I had.  I will place each month in the frame as the months change. 

I used some calendar tabs I had bought last year.  The big daisies are from a new set of dies. 

The next lot of photos are the second calendar I made using the second half of the note cards I cut in half.  (They were blank inside and perfect for making calendars!) 

 For this second calendar I used some stitched flower dies.  I also die cut the coloured card under the calendar tabs, using some stitched oblong dies I have.  Both these calendars were so much fun to make:-)
