Putting a smile on some ones face

Thats what this swap is all about and since signing up for it both me and Kathy have had sadness in our lives and due to this we are a bit late swapping, so this swap has meant a lot to me and put a smile on my face is what the lovely Kathy did when she sent her swap to me, you can find her great blog here she is a very talented lady. Every thing was wrapped so sweetly. So much thought and work has gone into these wonderful gifts and card i love them all ,a lady bird pin cushion and the little mouse will sit beside my sewing machine and keep me company while i sew with the fabric and get creative with the bag of buttons and the lovely bumle bee ribbon and the lovely little bag will hold my crochet hooks, i will be sending Kathy her gifts soon but some one has deleted all of my e-mail and i have lost her address so Kathy if you read this please send me a E-MAIL with your address. A quick up date on DH he in having his second bout of chemo and doing well he bounced back after his first lot and is now eating normalyl and not chocking so we can only guess the tumour is shrinking and he will not need to have his voice box removed we hope to have the decision soon but he has to have a camera down to see if it has shrunk ,he comes home tomorrow . Life has been very busy of late lots of visitors and the phone does not stop ringing so not much crafting has been done but i have been to the car boot where my sister spotted this quaint little bureau for me i will show you a picture of it with its make over when it is in its new place on my landing also DH took me to a furniture warhouse last Thursday in Sheffield while on the way back from the hospital after having his bloods done,now the reason for this is my son Sam has moved into a house with four friends and this now leaves me with a spare room well a new sewing room sounds nice but after much thought i decided not too just incase he comes home as they sometimes do so it is going to be a new guest bedroom. well money being tight with DH not working its second hand furniture for the new room,i prefer that to new stuff as i like to give things a new lease of life,well any way there where no decent beds or wardrobes but i did spot this little set of drawers,i think they where out of an office they cost just £5.oo a bargain and just right for my knitting patterns so nothing for the new room yet but still looking.I will share some more photos of my DIY skills soon well thats my news for now in the mean time have a good week keep safe hugs Pat
