I...Anne, thank you so much for two lovely comments. I am so touched by what you said. First of all, I think I may have deleted your comment - I think I hit "delete" rather than "publish" on one comment and I'm sorry if it was yours! Thanks for taking the trouble to leave me 2 comments.<br /><br />When I hear of other people's experiences, I am also humbled! There is always somebody worse off than ourselves, isn't there. My hubby and I are doing a carers' course at the moment, and hearing the stories of the other members, it makes me think that caring for Mum is a walk in the park... Makes you count your blessings!<br /><br />I am trying to be strong and not allowing myself to think too much about the big picture and the whole ordeal ahead. I have recently signed up for a stoma forum and the poo jokes on there have had me roaring with laughter today!! You've simply got to see the funny side!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your prayers and kind thoughts. They are very uplifting and sustaining! We are both very blessed in our hubbies, aren't we!<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-30095551418072002752015-02-13T21:55:29.848+00:002015-02-13T21:55:29.848+00:00Hi Anne!

I see some great looking Valentine cards. I love your deep windowsill! <br /><br />I'm glad my post gave you some giggles. It was so funny that I got that email today and just knew that I had to share it with Friday Smiles.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-19084896844532946742015-02-13T00:18:16.505+00:002015-02-13T00:18:16.505+00:00Love how your crafting has taken over every surfac...Love how your crafting has taken over every surface in the house lol lol!! Sugar crafting fills me with admiration - not something I've ever attempted, and it is sooo beautiful and lifelike! Love the piece you have done.<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comment - and I really appreciate your prayers. I have updated my Cancer Diary page on my blog to cover today's appointment with the surgeon, where it has been decided that I am to have my whole large bowel removed and a stoma created. Not what I was expecting, but lesser surgery would have left me with unmanageable problems which I said were not acceptable. I'm going in on Fri. 27th for the operation and will be in at least a week.<br /><br />Happy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #81Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-57412667741324051692015-02-12T19:30:20.268+00:002015-02-12T19:30:20.268+00:00I love your approach to visiting, especially this ...I love your approach to visiting, especially this week, when at #71 I am not in the last spot.

I fear many schools are finding it difficult to offer a good variety of practical subjects so it's up to us to "keep the home-fires burning" as they say.

Is it supposed to be eaten or is it a 'work of art'?<br />I hope the craft fair goes well and that you will sell a few items. It's nearly Valentine's day so people might be buying for that. I liked the items on the side board especially the 'fat' hand bags. (or whatever they are...)<br />It's good to have a clearout even if it is just scrap leftovers.<br />Have a good week,<br />Lisca#38Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-72038006390718132832015-02-11T13:35:57.830+00:002015-02-11T13:35:57.830+00:00Wow, your sugar paste work is amazing, those littl...Wow, your sugar paste work is amazing, those little flowers are fantastic!!

It simply has to spread! .... our home gets taken over by all that John and I do. Knitting and crochet all over the lounge; cupboards full of fabric, threads, silk fibres and wool tops in the bedroom; all my things on my landing art space; all John's things in HIS art space (previously known as the third bedroom!); blankets and dolls awaiting forwarding in the second bedroom; occasionally things spread all over the diner - especially if using the sewing machine....<br />So, take heart!!
