When you make a conscious choice to be happy, no one can take it away from you because no one gave it to you: you gave it to yourself.

WOYWW 173

Morning!

Hope wherever you are you are warm and dry - if you don't live in the UK, all I'll say is Autumn/Winter season hit our wonderful home with vengeance and many people are experiencing flooding after torrential rain, high winds and dipping temperatures! Thankfully all is dry here, but a bit chilly. The heating had to be popped for a while just so we didn't freeze having baths/showers.  

On a personal note, you'll be pleased to hear I am finally, after many weeks, starting to feel a bit better. well at least in my head I do, though my body still doesn't work properly and mum is still having to learn how to push me around in my blue wheels (my wheelchair)!

Right the desk, taken yesterday tea time - 


Well you can see a pile of die cut sheets ready to be popped out and put together and some that I have already started. It's all part of the Beatrix Potter blockbuster Crafter's Companion have recently been selling. I had to have it - it was the little boxes that got me, along with the tree cards in the Winter's Tale kit! 

I will share pics of all my makes once they are dried so I hope you'll pop back to have a look.

But for now I suggest you put the kettle on then dap over to Julia's, Queen of all desk nosing bloggers,       and follow her lead to nose your way around the world!

Thanks for all your support recently, I know I have been so quiet which is not like me at all but I've had to put me first and that means stepping back from everything.  Hope you all understand.

Take care Zo xx

Kettles on and I'm having a look round as well as looking at the lovely coastline of St. Ives.
It's good to hear you are getting on with your crafting while you recover. What an inspiration you are.

Sorry to hear you are having a bit of a difficult time at the moment, but I hope you feel better really soon. Crafting definitely helps when you need a bit of a boost doesn't it?
Happy WOYWW and have a creative end to the week.

Happy WOYWW. Thanks for popping over to my desk today. Lovely to have a visitor. Glad to hear that you are feeling better in your head. I cannot imagine how you cope with having to use a wheelchair. I may hurt all the time, but I do realise how lucky I am to be fairly mobile. I nearly bought that Beatrix Potter kit - for the CD-Rom, but kept my credit card hidden! Ali x #62

Sorry to hear you have not been well, I have been very quiet on the blooging/crafting front, so not up to speed with things at the moment. Thanks for popping by and your lovely comment.

Hi Zoe. I am glad to hear you are feeling a little better - the mind is a powerful thing. If you can keep a happy outlook it is amazing how the body responds. Crafting helps heaps I find. I hope it does the trick for you too. WOYWW Hugs from Helen 82

We love pop out die cuts, so much easier on the paws than scissors and lots of cutting.

Get well soon
