Good Friday Morning my Lovelies,
Today's reminder really hits home with me, I so often will say "I'm Okay thanks " when asked how I am feeling because I feel too embarrassed to say "I feel horrendous as I haven't slept due to crippling pain" or "I am feeling really fed up today" ! Feeling free enough to say exactly what you feel must be very liberating. Sometimes we might want to go to the bottom of the garden to scream as loud as you can, I for one have days when I can't help but cry, Usually more due to hormones or frustration at the NHS !!!
Whatever your emotions it's okay to feel it and more importantly to express it. 🥰
I was dreading Bladder clinic yesterday as lovely Suzanne retired and some of the other nurses weren't 'naturals' lets say 🙄, there was one time that the nurse had inserted the catheter 4 -6 inches in 'somewhere', they wait for urine to flow to know they are in the right place, after 5-10 mins waiting they came to the realisation that it wasn't positioned correctly, they did eventually get it but to this day I still have no idea where they had inserted it ! 🤣😂
Kim is Suzanne's replacement and she is lovely, just as skilled as Suzanne too, we had a good laugh and it's nice to not have to worry about who is going to do the procedure.
Today I am sharing the other Cyanotype Thrinchie, I used Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide for the background, this time I used Tracy Evan’s 'Nature's Beauty' stamp set and Ranger Glacier White Pigment ink pad to create the faux cyanotype or 'sun print' effect. This time I created a more uniform pattern, created an arrangement of the Snowdrops. I added a few drops of water to the background to increase the bleached out effect.
I really enjoyed making these, it's a fun technique. In fact I have made a bigger journal page too.
I hope that you all have a great end to your week,
Brenda I hope that you to make great progress my lovely, thinking of you my lovely 😘
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
Both Thrinchies are lovely I don’t have white ink pad so sadly I won’t be able to have a go but will look at the tutorial
ReplyDeleteWe are very good at saying “I’m OK” aren’t we We need to say how we really feel more often
Made a couple of cards yesterday but no new techniques or items used I really enjoyed being in my craft room though and producing something I was pleased with
Gentle hugs Brenda Keep up the good work but don’t overdo it
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove your second Thrinchie, they look great together 😍
Love today’s reminder. I can say that they are all resonating with me too. It’s so easy to just say we’re ok, when really we’re not 🥺
Brenda, I hope you’re ok and continuing to improve so you can get back home soon 🥰
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove this thrinchie too. A technique I like to try.
I'm screaming inside most days and still I'm saying, I'm fine, I'm okey and that also made me say, Yes to things when I'm really should have said No 🥴
Glad the bladder clinic went well and you are alright. Wondering tho where she put it in the first time 🫣🤭
Brenda, slowly does it. Sending you some extra hugs.
Have a good day everyone. Hugs, Maria xxx
