Hia all, To be honest I am a bit scared to write , I haven't for ages and have been hiding from the world. I haven't had a lot to say and have not been very creative. I have been battling with some life struggles and there just hasn't been room for anything else.
Anyway an update, I have been carrying on with the gym and have now lost 3 stone 9lb, and feel the fittest and healthiest I have felt for a hundred years :) This is how I look now
Anyway I have done a little something creative lately, made these
e buntings for Christmas, one in Welsh and one in English for the bi-lingual household.
We went on the Santa train with snow falling and everything :) Had to show you this cute pic of my pair :)
Then we printed the best one off on to sticky back paper and used a section of it to make a Christmas card - do you love it ???? I do ! Was an amazing course, I really enjoyed it.
and the 3 of us :)
and lastly I went on an amazing Christmas workshop in December - called "white until the night" with my old tutor Enid Davies. We started off by doing a drawing of Christmas things and then scanned it and printed the image off to use as a template for cutting and applique in shades of white, in a variety of textures.
We then scanned in the applique and manipulated the image with photo shop, this was just one of mine.
Then we printed the best one off on to sticky back paper and used a section of it to make a Christmas card - do you love it ???? I do ! Was an amazing course, I really enjoyed it.Hope you can all forgive my long absence and I hope to get back to something like more regular blogging, I am still taking a day at a time, so we shall see :)

Nothing to forgive Carol. You look fantastic, well done! The workshop looks good fun and a great result.
Nice to see ya Carol, to see you nice - and looking so perky too! Congrats. on the weight loss, and I love the white on white piece, even before you 'played' with it on the pooter.
Happy, healthy and creative New Year to you and all the family - may it be more peaceful for you all than 2009. Val
Your forgiven! Good to have you back!
You must have worked so hard at your weight loss, it's not easy, congratulations ... you look amazing!
I love the whitework embroidery piece you created at the workshop. It's beautiful and very "snowy" just like your santa train trip. It sounds so magical
Happy new year and hope your wishes all come true
Carolyn
Glad you're picking you're head up~! Hubby and I both have been on year 1/2 journey with eight loss surgery and I certainly know how life struggles and weight issues become so closely inter-twined!
Love this inside. The outside constantly changes with weight, medical status, age...it goes on and on. Love the inside!
(hugs)
