Simple Saturday Sorting

Hello hello!

Hope you are all well. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster week, chocker block full of emotions and tears and tantrums.

I got a missed call on Monday from my doctors. They had my CT scan test results back, and I've been requested by my GP to go back to the hospital for a specialist appointment... Have I told you all about this yet? (shows how pants my memory is right now)
Okay, just after Christmas I got rushed back to hospital with severe back and abdominal pain. Had a blood test and an xray done on that day. It was really scary driving to Kettering General at 3am.They said they found something in my blood, but couldn't be sure of what it was.
I got asked to come back 16th January at 7pm for a CT scan. And now I have to wait until the end of February for my check up / results. So, nerve wracking time about health..

In other news, my creating spree has been through the roof!! I haven't shown you everything that's been crafted lately either?! My gosh I'm a tad behind.

TADAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!






Lots and Lots of brooches, and the last photo is some embellishments :)




There we go, my Etsy again! I've got a large bag of wool that neeeeeeeeds using up, mainly 100g balls so I'll be crafting like crazy when we finish the move!

My my that's something else that hasn't been told! We are moving on Tuesday into a new house!! It's beautiful <3

But yes, I will get lots more photos and posts in soon. I will try my hardest!

Snippets of my June and a small talk

It's been a long month for me and Paul. There's been arguements, many tears, and many many things hitting the fan..We decided that having all this stress isn't good for us. Don't worry we haven't split haha, still very much together!! We have done a lot of talking, a lot of thinking, and we put all the stress down to our finances (which is a route of all evil).

On the plus note, I'm coming down in weight again (yippeee) and I've gone from just shy of a UK dress size 20, to just under a UK Size 18.. I'm a size 16!!!!! I'm over the moon!! If I carry on losing the weight the way I'm going, next year I'll be a size 14!!And I cannot talk of our plans for next summer, and how much it's going to change our lives if all goes well ;) Hence the pretty crochet in the last post.
 
 
Here's my buys for June. I know it looks a lot, but  bought from my favourite wool shop that is closing down :(
Some of the knitting patterns.  I am in love with chunky patterns and aran knits on babies.

 Some of the gorgeus wools. I love love love love patels shades in the summer months for baby wear.

 Ribbon, beads and sewing needles!!!!

Purple & Pink flowery buttons <3

Plastic toggles for dread hats. I'm going on a mission to use up a lot of my odd balls of yarn, so these are a MUST!

 Some more yummy fabrics; felt to start on my Christmas decorations, 4 pale green fat quaters, pink flowery fq, green flower fq, 2 metres of muslin, 1 metre of pale coffee coloured cotton, ethnic print 1 metre.

 Fabric flowers minty green.

 Some hair bands to make some pretty headbands, charms.

Little coin purse (I have a matching bag aswell) that I'm using for notions for crochetting on the bus.
