this little fella is on his way to Texas to live<br />
He is Needle felted lifesize.<br />
He has Polymer clay Hands and feet.<br />

<br />
This sweet little mouse is on ebay right now.
He is also Needle felted with polymer clay hands and feet. He is a little smaller than the last.<br />
<br />

<br />
To get myself out of the mouse phase for a bit (as I have to make two more which have been commissioned) I made this Bull Dog, from small and cute to chunky and butch :-) quite a switch of the creative muscle.<br />
<br />
He's 1:12 scale and measures 1.4 inches at the Withers. Needle felted over a wire armature. He is also on Ebay right now.<br />
<br />

I have had problems with my web site orders not coming through and have had to close my web site for a refurb and fix.
Which is why I have been listing on ebay. I usually to at this time of year though, high as the fees are you can't fault the traffic it gets.<br />

Finished this a couple of days ago. <br />
Needle felted Mouse and Heart combo :-) <br />
It is the first time I have made an Animal with an open mouth, I wanted a big smile.<br />
I have not measured it yet but it looks about 3 to 3.5 inches tall to me, it is fully jointed and has Heart shaped paw pads.<br />
I printed Forget-me-nots on hand made Paper and tore the edges for a frayed look on the Tag which also has a plain sheet for writing a message..<br />
The heart was ready made and I only had to embellish it, I added Seed Beads, Resin Buttons and Satin Ribbons.<br />

I am way behind on all my Christmas stuff this year there are no decorations or tree up yet and I have still to finish writing my Christmas cards.
I had meant to do it all the weekend just gone but ny back was hurting too much to do anything that involved climbing or bending :-(<br />
As I am feeling a little better today I have made my mind up to get some done, it doesn't feel like Christmas until they are up.
<br />
I hope you are all feeling the Christmas spirit and enjoying your preperations and I wish you all a Wonderful Christmas<br />
I will be posting again soon, bye for now.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for following my blog, check out my website for additional craft related stuff

I can't believe it is so close to the end of this year, it has flown by in a never ending list of Medication and Hospital appointments. Hubby is still doing ok on his treatment which is slow going on half dose and still has many months to go. <br />
My son is settled in to the 6th form college to study for A levels and I have my never ending list of things to do.
<br />
I did however manage to finish a small project... Don't faint, I know its been so long since I posted a finished project on here.
I still have another UFO to finish.
This little Christmas Mouse has already sold.
It is the first I have made with Polymer clay additions (his paws and feet)
I also made a Silver and Crystal decoration for him to hold.
He is on his way to the USA as I type, I hope he arrives safely to his new home.
<br />

It has been a long time since my last <strike>confession </strike>post, life sure has a way of filling up the days.<br />
My son made us very happy by passing 9 GCSE's and is now happily attending 6th form college to take 4 A levels.
He has to dress in smart office clothing and so we went shopping for him Boy he's hard to find stuff for being a big ,tall feller.
I tried to take a photo of him looking all smart and he ran away from me silly sausage.<br />
Hubby finally started his treatment after 7 months waiting. Two weeks in and he has only flu like symptoms as side affects, we were warned they can be quite bad physically and mentally. The consultant decided to put him on half dose because of all his other illnesess and so the treatment will go on for 7 months. He has disturbed sleep at night and needs to rest in the afternoon, sometimes he keeps me awake too so I nap with him :-) But last night I slept well because hubby tried not to disturb me as I have a rotten cold and he thought I should rest. That is why I am able to post today while he sleeps.
<br />
Our little pup is now a fully grown dog at 16 months and he is still a constant source of entertainment with his daft antics.
He loves my home made dog toys too :-) <br />

I have several unfinished projects I hope to share soon.
I have decided to change over to the new blogger templates you can look at this blog with all of them by selecting it from the drop down on the top left.
However it does seem to do away with all of your links and stuff from the side bars, what can you see? are they still there somewhere :-)
If not I will have to create some new pages.
I hope to be able to post more frequently from now on.
<br />
Bye for now, Juliet

The front room is now all finished except I have to get my younger brother to fit the new light for me He is a qualified Spark :-D <br />
I managed to finish the painting in time for the floor to be laid on the set date and I must say it was entirely down to buying top quality paints which covered so well in one coat. I recommend Dulux Trade Matt Vinyl for ceilings and their Vinyl Silk for walls. <br />
The floor was in storage so long I forgot how nice it was :-D <br />
I thought you would like to have a peek. Difficult to photograph a smallish room like this,<br />
It got me thinking of those home and garden magazines with pictures of interiors the photographers manage to make them all look huge, even in the standard Victorian size rooms.<br />
Sid managed to squeeze himself into the shot too :-D he was a good dog while the painting was being done and although he followed me around the whole time he did not spill or spread any paint.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uz1bXdvut6Y/Th3an-y9MNI/AAAAAAAADOQ/-ZfbazUcrOI/s1600/new+203.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uz1bXdvut6Y/Th3an-y9MNI/AAAAAAAADOQ/-ZfbazUcrOI/s320/new+203.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br />
As you can see it is not a fab photo :-} the blue is more of a turquoise and I have no idea why it is grainy looking. I bet my hubby has been messin with my camera settings. No time to deal with that now or I will never get a post on here!<br />
As my son has finished his exams and has no more school we are holiday routine, ie lots of lie ins and late nights.<br />
I even made a jewellery set ! I will post pictures when I have a moment<br />

I feel a bit guilty for leaving this blog to go to the Dogs.<br />
<br />
Talking of Dogs our puppy is now just over 1 year old and is such a pleasure on a daily basis apart from the fact that he is so close at every moment I sometimes find myself forced to give him attention instead of doing other things. He even puts himself between me and the Laptop when I try to spend some time on line. He is at this moment sleeping on the desk beside the laptop like this<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4nedhlavh4/TfoxCk_DrcI/AAAAAAAADOI/9gj0HrRRIZY/s1600/new+094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4nedhlavh4/TfoxCk_DrcI/AAAAAAAADOI/9gj0HrRRIZY/s320/new+094.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now that he is older and a little trained we play fetch when we are out walking and is little tail wags like mad the whole time.<br />
I have been home decorating this last few weeks and have finished my teenage sons room. He asked for Urban camouflage walls which took some time to complete and we got him a grey carpet to complement the wall colours, he is very happy with it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zv-y4vrOlko/TfoyFHSIDeI/AAAAAAAADOM/gXcN6WQ0hrM/s1600/new+121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zv-y4vrOlko/TfoyFHSIDeI/AAAAAAAADOM/gXcN6WQ0hrM/s320/new+121.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As a fella we know has two days free at the end of next week to lay our new laminate flooring,Well I say new but it has been sitting in the shed waiting to be laid for a very long time :-) And so I have to crack on and repaint the walls ceiling etc in the living room this week.<br />
<br />
Since hubbies rant at the hospital he has cheered up considerably, probably due to no longer feeling as though he is waiting for something he will never get. As he is much happier so are my son and I :-)<br />
I still find myself exhausted at the end of the day from having to do so much but getting the house in order after such a long time of putting it off until things get better (which I now know they never will) makes me happy. I kept thinking I will do that when hubby is better and I have more time but it just seemed to carry on and on and so last month I thought just do it :-)<br />
<br />
I hope all my blog friends are well and I will try to find time to visit your blogs soon .<br />

Thanks to all those who left me a comment on my last post it really did help me to feel back in the swing of things xx<br />
<br />
Hubbies long awaited clinic appointment was Friday gone and the doctors are still unsure of the safety of treating him due to his other illnesses.<br />
My hubby had a rant right there in the clinic bringing everyone out from the side rooms to stare at him as if he was a murderer. But knowing how much he had set his heart on this treatment and knowing his stressed state of late (on top of his usual short tempered nature when things are not going his way) I was not surprised. He left expecting me to follow but I hung back to talk to the two Doctors he had lost it with. I can fully understand their caution but at the same time they had told him that they would liaise with his other clinics to get more info and permissions at his last appointment and they had not even done that yet so I left with a promise that this would be done.<br />
I spent the rest of the day and the next trying to cheer hubby up.<br />
One of the things that annoyed me when I was caring for my Mum through her cancer treatments was that she saw a different Doctor each time and they would ask the same questions as the week before to familiarise themselves with her case rather than reading her notes prior to seeing her. I know these Doctors are busy but a couple of minutes reading rather than grilling a very ill person (who would much rather be seeing a familiar face) would be nice.<br />
I have spent 16 years of my life caring for my loved ones who were or are ill and I have seen the Doctors in the hospitals do wonderful things and I have seem them do some things I have not liked.<br />
Too much for one post to go in to.<br />
<br />
When I started this blog it was supposed to be about my passion for Art and Craft and a way to connect with others of like mind, but life crept in on the odd post and it seems right to share some of who I am when not Crafting.<br />
One of the first things Hubby said when he found I was blogging was "I hope your not writing about me on there", he has a more guarded personality than me.<br />
I have on the whole kept him out of my writings until his illness became so much that it was taking all of my crafting and blogging time up and I felt a need to explain my absence and missed the connection blogging gave me. I will try to do what I feel is fair to his wishes by not going deeply into details with regards to his illnesses. He has 5 serious illnesses 3 of which my Mum also had but she had Cancer (two kinds) and he is very lucky as far as I am concerned not to.<br />
<br />
I myself am feeling tired, stressed at times but I am coping.<br />
My beautiful son who has had to share his mum his whole life with those others who need my care is doing well at school and spends far too much time in his room :-) <br />
Thank you for your support and good wishes.<br />
I hope I will have some thing creative to share soon :-) <br />

I feel so out of touch with all of my wonderful blog friends and miss the connection I had with you all.<br />
My husband was told he had to wait a while for his treatment as his Kidneys and Liver were were not functioning properly, this was very frustrating and worrying for him and his mood has been very snappy (to put it mildly) and so the atmosphere in my home has not been as nice as it should. <br />
The Doctors cut some of his medication in the hope that the Kidneys and Liver would improve<br />
we are due to go back next week.<br />
I have tried to find time to craft but it has still been only an hour here and there which means nothing finished to share yet as needle felting is a long winded process.<br />
On the bright side I have been enjoying the spring sunshine we have had these last few weeks here in London, it has made walking my new fur baby much more pleasant and the walking has dropped 6 pounds from my weight :-)<br />
I would love to hear from you all, I miss my connection to the world of Arts and Craft (and women of course) as I am stuck at home or at the hospital most of the time. I think I am turning into one of those nutty middle aged ladies who talks to anyone in the cue while out shopping because of lack of company. So please leave me a comment and I will be encouraged to visit you back without feeling so out of touch. <br />
<br />

Since mid December I have been either too busy, too tired or too ill to even browse the net, let alone blog or craft :-( <br />
Hubby has had complications in his health problems, I have been a little down (winter blues I think) <br />
My son has been under pressure from last year of school course work. I have a Puppy to exercise and supervise and I just have to put the family first. <br />
I have often wondered if my mojo has gone because I am sad or I am sad because my mojo is gone.<br />
Just when I started to feel more cheerful in myself we came down with sore throats, coughs etc :} <br />
but I still feel more cheerful :-) <br />
Anyhoo I aplogise for my absence and hope to resume normal service as time allows.<br />
<br />
<br />
I made some <strike>Ugly</strike> Rustic white Bread today.<br />
It was a spur of the moment decision. <br />
Hubby expressed a fancy for Soup rather than any other option for dinner.<br />
I just thought mmm Hot Bread and Soup and went to the store cupboard to find my Dried Yeast.<br />
It was a little late in the day for anything other than a flattish loaf.<br />
Prooving time was shorter and in very warm conditions.<br />
2 hours from start to Hot Bread on the table.<br />
It had a Crunchy crust and a slightly heavy doughy inside perfect for dunking in soup :-D<br />
<br />

This year I have made what I shall call Marzipan Sushi.<br />
No Cooking involved, just preperation. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TRKH9UlkaxI/AAAAAAAADNc/itqy3ilLeI0/s1600/blog+109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TRKH9UlkaxI/AAAAAAAADNc/itqy3ilLeI0/s320/blog+109.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<div></div><br />
If you like Marzipan maybe you would like to try some.<br />
<br />
To make these you will need <br />
<br />
A rolling pin <br />
2 sheets of greaseproof paper or plastic <br />
A sharp knife <br />
Large plate, not paper.<br />
Small bowl <br />
Medium bowl<br />
Baking sheet or another plate<br />
A gift box , wrapping or bag of some sort.<br />
<br />
<br />
500 grams of white Marzipan<br />
500 grams of dessicated coconut<br />
A handful of unsalted mixed nuts , I used Walnuts, Brazil nuts and Hazel nuts.<br />
100 grams of milk or plain Chocolate.<br />
<br />
Lay out your sheet of Greaseproof paper <br />
On it roll out the Marzipan to a thickness of 1/2 inch <br />
Pour the Coconut on top and spread it around and press it into the marzipan covering as much as possible.<br />
Lay the 2nd sheet of greaseproof paper on top and turn the whole thing over and remove the sheet which is now on top.<br />
<br />
Chop the nuts into quarters and lay in a thin line close to one edge of the Marzipan, not too many it stops it holding together.<br />
Now roll the closest edge over the nuts until it overlaps a little , press down, cut off excess Marzipan and repeat with the other marzipan that is left until it is all used up , Like making sausage rolls :-)<br />
Cut into 1 inch pieces and place either on the baking sheet or a plate. Chill until needed. Not you the Marzipan :-D<br />
<br />
Break the chocolate up and melt in a small bowl floating in a bigger bowl of boiling water.<br />
While this is melting put the plate into the freezer to cool.<br />
When the chocolate is melted and the plate is cooled<br />
take your marzipan Sushi and dip the bottom into the chocolate to coat about 1/4 way up<br />
then place on the chilled plate to set. Use the greaseproof paper too if you like<br />
Keep going until you have dipped all pieces, chill in the fridge until chocolate is set<br />
When set remove from plate , a few may need a helping prod with a flat knife :-) <br />
and they are ready to Eat or Gift wrap.<br />
Store in the fridge or other cool place<br />
I was a bit peeved I didn't have any white tissue paper to put under these but being a bloke my brother will not notice :-)<br />
<br />

I toyed with the idea of a bright Pink Tree but it would have clashed with my decor So I finally opted for a Black Tree with Black and Gold decorations.<br />
I always have Chocolates on the tree and everyone loves to be able to have one when they visit. <br />
I decided to use small Bars instead of the usual foil wrapped chocolate Coins.<br />
Here's how to do them, it's very easy even a novice paper crafter will have no trouble.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You will Need </span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: large;">Small Chocolate Bars</span>, I bought Ryelands 5 for 79p at Tesco's, 10 Milk and 5 Plain, Its very good Chocolate for the price, Somehow 3 disappeared! :-) You could splash out and get another brand, Green and Black do small bars.</li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Craft paper or card</span> in your chosen color scheme.</li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Ribbons and other embellishments</span> in your chosen color scheme.</li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Scissors, Craft blade, Cutting Mat.</span></li>

Cut strips of Card (or paper) 2/3 of the width of your Chocolate bars and long enough to wrap around and fix to itself .<br />

When our birthdays were coming up this Autumn Hubby and I decided we would get a Puppy to fill the Fur Baby shaped hole in our lives. Along Came Sid, the fur ball of destruction, immediate Puppy proofing of the house ensued.<br />He's a Beautiful crazy Terrier, so full of mischief and bounce.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TNMLWDT32RI/AAAAAAAADK0/ZBeP4RkR8XA/s1600/sid.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 381px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535780840442157330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TNMLWDT32RI/AAAAAAAADK0/ZBeP4RkR8XA/s400/sid.jpg" /></a><br />Well a few weeks ago he bounced himself into trouble and after a rush to the Vet we found he had badly damaged his knee. He has had 3 visits to the vet including the operation on his knee and so far the costs have been nearly £600.00 pounds. Oh how I wish I had taken out <a href="http://www.tescofinance.com/personal/finance/insurance/petins/index.jsp">Pet insurance</a> the day I got him. I had every intention of doing it but it was, I thought, non urgent. Who expects a puppy, who is not allowed out of the house yet to get seriously injured! Lesson learnt, do not assume anything. Get your Pets Insured or literally pay the consequences.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TNMK1QzMCTI/AAAAAAAADKs/lVw7H1OHPSQ/s1600/cid+013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 274px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535780277127481650" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TNMK1QzMCTI/AAAAAAAADKs/lVw7H1OHPSQ/s320/cid+013.JPG" /></a><br />Our Fur baby is on the mend but has a couple more visits to the Vet scheduled. Because of his Injury I have had to curb our playtimes together he is still raring to go but for his own good I have to be cruel and ignor the tennis ball dropped at my feet. He has grown so much since we got him and the fur on his bad leg is growing back only to be shaved off again soon when they remove the pins from his knee.<br />As soon as this treatment is over and our delightful Puppy is all better I am certainly going to get him <a href="http://www.tescofinance.com/personal/finance/insurance/petins/index.jsp">Pet Insurance</a>, because you never know.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for following my blog, check out my website for additional craft related stuff

I Glued the paper and fabric together with PVA and ironed it dry. I cut a circle out. Making the folds was really hard and each one had to be done by hand. Having acomplished my goal I wondered what to do with my giant Cup Cake Case.<br />This evening I was tidying some wool tops when I had another urge, to fill my Cup Cake Case with Wooltops :-D Then I thought why not have some fun with it. So here's a little game. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TMnctc4B3VI/AAAAAAAADJ4/8G5G6XseKic/s1600/blog+068.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533196290604784978" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TMnctc4B3VI/AAAAAAAADJ4/8G5G6XseKic/s400/blog+068.JPG" /></a><br />Guess the wieght of the wooltops inside the giant cup cake case in grams and win the lot, Chocolate Brown, Purest White and Cherry Red. I will also Include two felting needles.<br />To help you guess, the Cup Cake Case measures 11 cm across the bottom and is 8 cm high. The width at the top of the Cup Cake Case is 20 cm <br />Just leave your guess in grams in the comments below I will draw a winner from the correct guesses on Nov 10th If no one is correct I will choose the nearest guess.<a href="http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/?action=view&current=signoff-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Julietk sig" src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/signoff-1.jpg" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for following my blog, check out my website for additional craft related stuff

The shock also gave her a white streak in her hair but she is fond of that too. She has already made friends with Dobby, He thinks she is charming :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TMg691Rm9lI/AAAAAAAADJw/6BuPWHIcItY/s1600/dolls+024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TMg691Rm9lI/AAAAAAAADJw/6BuPWHIcItY/s400/dolls+024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532736976172021330" /></a><br />Frankie is looking forward to Halloween and a long ride on her broom by moonlight to meet her witchy friends.<br />Frankie is 10 inches tall and is made from a combination of Needle felting and polymer clay. She has a hand sewn dress and a hat which is made from the same material. The pumpkins are made with Fimo air dry clay and painted.<br /><br />I am relieved to have finished her in time for All Hallows Eve, I am sure she would have been sad to have missed it :-)<br /><br />My Puppy had his Knee operation and is on the mend I am glad to say but we still have a couple of visits to the Vet before he is finished with the treatment.<br />My son is fine also after his medication scare.<br /><br />I hope all of you are well and happy<br /><a href="http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/?action=view&current=signoff-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Julietk sig" src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/signoff-1.jpg" /></a> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for following my blog, check out my website for additional craft related stuff

My son was off school ill for a week with an awful cough etc and as he is in his final year I sent him back after a week (I was so worried about the course work he was missing) after one day back at school he seemed to have developed an even worse cough. So I kept him off school to visit the GP again.<br />That morning our Puppy was bouncing around in the garden, jumping high to try and see who was saying good morning over the 5 foot fence and he landed badly and squeaked a lot after that he wouldn't walk on his right back leg. I was delegated to take the puppy to the vet while hubby would arrange a GP appointment for my son who having turned 16, 3 weeks ago, we decided he could be trusted to go on his own (it is after all just across the road and he only had a cough, also hubby has a low imune system so he cannot visit surgeries with out risk)<br />Everything seemed to go ok, he came home with a bottle of what we took for cough medicine.<br /><br />Picture of puppy :-) isn't he beautiful?<br /><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TLnPkgZfV9I/AAAAAAAADJA/T6nRl8w4hq0/s1600/sid+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 388px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528678243653081042" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TLnPkgZfV9I/AAAAAAAADJA/T6nRl8w4hq0/s400/sid+008.JPG" /></a><br /><br />The Puppy had to be sedated for xrays so I was asked to leave him and collect him that evening. Which I did, he has injured his knee and the vet has asked us to keep him rested and return next week if it is healing well he will not need an operation, I do hope it is. My poor puppy he keeps bringing me his toys to play and I have to ignor him :-( but it is for his own good.<br /></p><p>Getting back to my darling sons woes, the following morning he took a spoonful of his medicine after breakfast and went off to do what ever 16 year old do in their bedrooms when they are off school. I was pottering around about 20 minutes later and he came to me complain of feeling sick and dizzy his hands were shaking and I made him sit with me for a while, he said his heart was racing and I could see it making his Tshirt move and so I had a listen to his heart and it was very fast, I investigated the medicine he was given and it had similar side effect listed. I decided to ring the GP and the secretary said he was out on home visits. I remembered the National Health Helpline and after lots of the usual details were taken TWICE we talked to a nurse. She advised us to do what I was feeling was needed and take him to the Emergency unit to be checked out. We both felt it had to be reaction to the drug but as it was so severe we were worried about his heart too.<br /><br />It was scary but my son was very cool about the whole thing, he had his first experience of an Adult Emergency unit in London including the extremely Smelly drunk and some shouting mental patients. In the Children's emergency unit you are usually spared these.<br />After more details, blood tests, ECGs etc His Symptoms gradually slowed down, thank heaven. It seems the GP had given my son a medicine used in extreme cases of Asthma which is being withdrawn shortly from use (shocking) I am too lost for words to even speak to the GP and annoyed with myself for allowing my son to take it without reading the leaflet first. Did I say a little bit of life in that title :-D it seems a lot sitting here typing.<br />Along with the normal day to day chores and hubbys usual appointments (he attends 4 clinics)it has not left me much time or energy to spend on my crafting.<br />Looking at what I have achieved so far I suppose I haven't done too badly<br />My Witch has almost all of her body parts, She needs Hands and feet<br />assembling,clothing and hair. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TLnQQP9GS3I/AAAAAAAADJQ/zzir6Cs4wJQ/s1600/sid+013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 308px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528678995153275762" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VsqWtTe5AlY/TLnQQP9GS3I/AAAAAAAADJQ/zzir6Cs4wJQ/s400/sid+013.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I do hope I finish her in time for Halloween.<br />I had better go now hubby is hungry :-)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/?action=view&current=signoff-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Julietk sig" src="http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii8/julietkebay/signoff-1.jpg" /></a> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thank you for following my blog, check out my website for additional craft related stuff
