A Little Bit Productive - Decenario (rosary)bracelets

Well all I can say is that a bad back is no fun at all, yesterday I was so taking gibberish due to the meds and today (Thursday) has been only what I can describe as a struggle I seem to be going backwards in relief. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be another story.

I havent been totally idle I have made some bows for the wedding card not many but it is a start, I did them in batches of around 5 then got up and moved to stop my back from seizing.

So in between standing up, laying down, rocking back and forth and sitting I made 4 virgencita or decenario (rosary)bracelets.

Apparently these will be the in thing for this year.

Roll up. Roll up

I've no card to show you due to my ongoing back pain but I wanted to share some exciting news with you.

Mo's digital Pencil and Make it Crafty have come together for a spectacular event, we will be hosting a fabulous blog hop together on the 21st April and believe me when I say you don't want to miss this one, so get out your diarys and mark the date, and I'll see you back here on the 21st.

There'll prizes to be won along the hop and a Grand Prize at the end of it.

Wedding Invitations

Tonight Lauren came to cut out all of the scrolls for her Wedding Invites, I daren't do this until my back is on the mend and as time is of the essence Lauren is helping get then underway.

I'm pretty high on the pain killers but still managing to yelp as I move.

The doctor has given me something to relieve the spasms and it seems to be working and I had a good nights sleep.

Thank you for all of the well wishes.

Fancypants

What set out to be a normal Sunday turned out to be a very big challenge, I have had ongoing back problems for over a year now and Friday afternoon was the start of more than usual back pain, constant pain releavers and back rubs, I was hoping that I would awake fit and well Sunday morning but that wasn't to be.

Not only did I awake to worse pain but also my back kept going into spasms I went through the pain barrier in tears and scrambled my way round making a cup of tea. Normally Chris makes me a cuppa every morning whilst I pull myself together but he was on a training course with the Brigade.

By 11:30am I was back in bed, my Daughter got in about 3pm and madeher first Sunday roast all by herself (she did marvelous) Chris got in around 4.30pm and gave me another back rub with some Voltarol which helped.

So it is a miracle that I have a card to show you at all, luckely this is one I coloured on Saturday. I stood to make the card then Chris did the photography for me as he did with the previous 2 cards (thank you Chris x).
