Been one of those days today .....

Yep had one of those "urgh" type of days today. Yesterday we took Baby J to the doctors as his 8 month check showed an extra crease in his thigh. I assumed it was due to his chunkiness (he has his mums genes) but apparently it means something to do with displacement of hips so he has to see a consultant at the hospital. Of course I have spent today researching it online (stupid I know) and have seen scary pics of all sorts of scary braces and casts and that. The 2 weeks till the appointment seems so far away. Fingers crossed its nothing major.

On the crafting side I have well ermm, ok so I havent actually *MADE* anything but thats beside the point right? W has converted the Cellar into a craft room for me, I now have storage for everything, and two, yes TWO, desks so i can chat, oops i mean craft with a friend. Will have to upload some pictures so you can all marvel at my organisation. Will have to do that before I make something obviously, as afterwards it would look like a bomb site. I have lots of projects in mind, and I have done really well at the shopping side of it but the rest can wait till another day. The problem is that the crafters block has gone and been replaced by talentus abscodititus. Basically everything I make lately looks pants... and not the sexy skimpy type either - big fat tent like flowery granny pants! yep its that bad dear reader.

At Harrogate Papercrafts extravaganza this past weekend I purchased a few "un-me" like papers in the hope that maybe my talents lay elsewhere as yet undiscovered so tomorrow we seek! Yep thats it, I am pencilling it in the diary, you ready for this .... TOMORROW I SHALL CRAFT ..... watch this space ;)

Well then here goes nothing

And so here I am jumping into the world of blogdom, havent got it all figured out yet so bear with me as I delete things and send them into the mystery which is cyberspace wont you. A bit about me - I am a tortured artist - sadly tortured by lack of talent lol. I am a one of the rapidly increasing breed of Cardmakers and Scrapbookers. I design wedding stationery mainly as well as greeting cards, invitations, blah blah blah - you know how it goes.

I write too, funny stuff, sad stuff, poems. You name it and i'll have a go. In fact one of my recent writings were called "Comedy Genius" (ok so it was by my sister after I hijacked her myspace blog but hey praise is praise right?). So the personal stuff, although be warned I wont be going into great personal detail on this blog, the internet stuff freaks me out a bit so in the interests of my family you know....

I am a southener living up North, in my mid-twenties. I have a lovely gorgeous boyfriend (hence forth refered to as W) and a 8 month old son (Baby J). I have 2 sisters, Mum down south and Dad who lives in France. So there ya goes with the background story.

Well thats your lot for tonight, I promise I will try to write something worth reading tomorrow .

If you want to check out the blog entry coined as "comedy Genius" by my sis check out her myspace here http://www.myspace.com/clairethegr8 the entry is called "why are we waiting". Let me know what you think - plus it will really freak her out that she has suddenly got so popular
