OMG Mum is in Excrutiating pain

Well 2 days ago on Tuesday mum had one of her back teeth pulled out (she has lovely teath that she has always been proud of then a dentist messed one up about 5 years ago and it has given her nothing but problems ever sinse) so she went to the dentist who said it had a crack and needs removing, so on Tuesday she had to have it pulled after a  week of antibiotics for an infection that had set in. She has been in total pain ever sinse and has had no sleep. Poor mum

MUM makes things when she worries

When mum gets worried about life and what is going to happen to her she gets the urge to make things, (that is how my cross stitch got started) well this weekend not only did she 98% finish my cross stitch, she was so worried about stuff she decided to organise her jewellery and made herself a jewellery holder for her wall. Pity she doesn’t have enough money for bricks and mortar, she could have built a house by now.... lol :)
She started with a plain old picture frame she had lying around, then found some wooden and brass knobs, some brass hooks and some decorative leaf veins and buttons. I think it is pretty good seeing as it cost nothing.
 



CROSS STITCH... 98% finished, only 2% to go


Well… mum has done me proud on her cross stitch of me, she has totally finished the cross stitching part of it, all she has to do is the black outlines (she needs to practice this before she does it as it is the first time she has ever done this.) and then frame it with a nice scrapbook style boarder…she can see it all in her head :). The next time you see a post for this cross stitch will be when she has completely finished it.
The 30 cm ruler should give you an idea of the size of it

Mum is pink mad at work

Not sure how many of you know this; but although mum does not like pink in her home, she loves the colour pink, especially at work, it cheers her up and makes the day a little happier... It is the sparkly pink diamante mouse that cheers her up the most... ;)


Sniffing me

mum loves sniffing me, one time she sniffed so hard a loose feather went up her nose. I laughed... but mum didn't laugh so much... :)


Toes Kissed

I love having my toes kissed and I also love it when mum blows raspberries on the underside of my footers... (or that is why she thinks I put my foot on her mouth)... between you and me it is actually to shut her up... she never stops talking... ;)

New 3ft Aquarium


Mum finally got an aquarium to fit her stand and it has a wooden lid (I feel like I live inside a tree with the amount of wooden stuff she has in this house) it took her 6 hours to swap over tanks and get this one set up. It looks stunning and now we can get some more fish. And the other one has already sold on eBay...

Just my cheek left...


Mum is so close to finishing the cross stitch of me, all she has left to do is my cheek, she is so proud of herself, she has the frame to put it in and the design to go around it is bouncing about in her head. It will be her birthday present to herself at the end of the month. She says it will be the best birthday present ever.... ;) 



Grrr weight gain...

Mum is really angry wih herself. Last April 2012 we went to the vet for my yearly check up and I weighed 132 grams, the vet said I needed to lose at least 10 grams as she could not even feel my liver to check if it was alright and if possible go down to about 116 grams which she said was healthy for a Quaker that would mean a total loss of 16 grams... well mum got me down to 117 grams by November she was so proud of herself and of me off course, but gradually over winter I have been gaining a little weight here and there... then today she weighed me and I was up to 126 grams, she is kicking herself she is so upset with herself for letting me gain weight again. now she has me on a diet again. OH JOY.... we need to get me back down to 117 grams by April for the next visit to the vet. Ahhhhhhhhhhhrgggg
