Cross Stitch finished

HI all

Been awhile since posting.

Recently been working on Cross stitches.

Yesterday I finished my elephant cross stitch which I was doing for my mum in australia.

I had planned to send it to her but found out last week she is coming back with my son for

about 17 days.

Damien is going back to australia permanently I am unhappy about that but I want him to be happy. So going to try and send him back on the same flight as mum.

Well here are some pics of my cross stitching through out the process of doing the elephants and the finished product.

Next is a giraffe...

Thank for visiting

Last Post

Hi all
Sorry this will probably be my last post for a little while.
Creatively I have gone toward Cross stitching and eventually I will be creating my own charts.
Also My son wants to move back to Australia permenantly so need to sort that.
I have severe depression and am just not functioning well.
and I hopefully will be moving house soon.
I will be back with updates occasionally but will not be scrapping for a while nor creating

Sorry About not Posting

Well been a bit bad at posting lately...
Things haven't been going so well.. I don't seem to have much creative desire.
I'm not interested in a lot of things
My depression is a bit out of control unfortunately
Damien my son wants to stay permanently in Australia and that is difficult...
I don't know if I will be creating much at the moment.
I've just been doing some cross stitch to pass the time
so here are couple of pics of my cross stitch and hopefully have something
new for you all soon
Currently working on a second cross stitch of some elephants hopefully be finished in about two to three weeks...
Does seem to be where my creative desires are going at this point...

Well guess that's about it for now... Catch you when I get back

New Freebie - Quick Page and Recipe and Rant

Hi All
Got to creating with a couple of my kits and created a qp for you for recipes
These kits are still available on my blog if you want them
Kitchen, Fruit salad and goodnight colours

Here's what I've done with it

Anyway hope you can use and enjoy it

Hugs Michelle

How annoying is it to people who have made a complaint to a company about the lack of good service. They get a reply from the company that answers everything else but the reason you complained in the first place?

Today I made a complaint to Amazon because it's taking them three or more days before they dispatch an item. Even when you are paying for delivery. I used the Supersaver which means I get free delivery to get free delivery I also have to wait for 3-5 to get it delivered by post after dispatch. Ok I'm fine with that. Free delivery you wait a bit longer..Not a problem not urgent I don't need the item immediately just a book I wanted.

However every time I order whether I order supersaver or whether I am paying for any other kind of delivery except to receive within 24 hours is taking 3 or more days for Amazon to dispatch. It's not about the postal side of things its not about the waiting it's about the time between when they take the order and process it and when they are dispatching the order.

I think it's wrong that you place an order one day they claim it's in stock but unless you are prepared to pay for overnight delivery they are taking 3 or more days to dispatch the item.

I don't have a problem waiting for goods to come if I did I wouldn't use supersaver as it is.. However when I place an order whether it is with supersaver or whether it's when I've paid for the delivery of the item. I expect that when they process that order they dispatch that order.

What I am finding at this time is they process the order and dispatch usually 3 days later I tend to find this unacceptable after awhile. The only way I get that order processed immediately is if I pay more in delivery than what the item is worth in the first place. What I mean by that is I can have the item delivered the next day but that costs me more than the item I have ordered, That is disgusting.

Yet when I write to them to state I think their dispatching dates are a bit out of order I get a letter skirting the issues and I get why they do supersaver and if I want it sooner I can pay for delivery.

Wake up Amazon this isn't about how long it takes to arrive in the mail. This is about how long it is taking you to process the order and dispatch the item. The last time I paid for my deliveries a few weeks ago you gave an estimated dispatch 3 days after I ordered the item and the book was not dispatched until the day after the estimated dispatch day and arrived 3 days after estimated delivery days taking into account you failed to send the item on the dispatch day.

So anyway sorry for ranting again but I do get sick of companies who do not really listen to the complaint of customers and go around in circles stating can pay for delivery to get it faster and it's no faster at all...

Whoops!!! I'm guessing it helps to leave a download link

Hi all
Hope you've had a great week and a great weekend
Been busy here creating bacon and producing some of our own foods.
Hard work at times but so much fun.
Today I have used bacon we made to make Boston Beans
This dish has turned out great. I am so happy
Well onto other things
I have made a QP today using my own elements and paper I've made as well as some
bits and bobs I found on the internet or CU items I got for free

New Freebie-QP

Hi All

Hope every one is having a great week so far.

Things have been humming along here quite nicely.

We started making our own bacon yesterday we have two more days to see how it went.

I made a great sultana cake this morning

WE made some fresh butter tonight and my hubby with a small amount of my help made a lovely fresh tomato soup all be it a little spicy he put a whole chilli into it.

Still it was lovely. We had some fresh handmade homemade barleycorn bread so all in all a great day.

Only problem I've got is I am in agony. My back has been playing up for days I know better than to push myself as much as I have but I love producing our own things.

Any way on to the new freebie today I have created two new QP I have used a couple of freebie kits and Tou's are included within the download

very simple but here are previews

If you would like these QP Here

Look for 2 QP

Just a loving Thanks

Hi all
today is just a loving thanks to my Husband Paul who put in a lot of hard work and effort so that we can produce some of our own foods.
What am I talking about? well let me tell you
Today my husband butchered some meat and minced it so we could start producing our own foods regularly.
so what you say? Well here's a little background my husband is type 1 diabetic nothing spectacular there I suppose lots of people unfortunately are. My husband has also had full kidney failure and a transplant since.
again so what??? well it's true that others have too. But when my husband lost his kidneys 12years ago he also lost his sight, completely, he is black blind, and although he was a chef before he went blind he has never done butchering.
So not only did he do the actual butchering of the full birds some chicken and turkey which particularly with the turkey took him the better part of an hour he also did the mincing for me manually believe me even with my help takes an age. Well worth the effort but hard work.
So I thank my wonderful loving husband for all his hard work and having stood on his feet for over two and half hours to do this.
I know it took a lot out of him because although I kept asking him to take a rest he ended up having a mild hypo. Recovered fully now but I know he's exhausted... However with what he did we ended up with good fresh mince and are now having turkey burgers for dinner and with the chicken that he butchered we'll be making fresh homemade sausages.
So with that I will leave it there and go make him a coffee and catch you all soon
take care till then and have fun

New Freebie - QuickPage Dark Night

Hi all

Been a bit of a busy week in a good way.

My husband and I have started producing our own foods.

eg bread or butter, bacon and sausages.

We've only gotten started so lots of learning curves but we are determined to

produce as much as we can ourselves and then save up to buy a bit of land so that

we can grow our own produce as well.

Next week we try our making bacon and I've made jams and preserves before so I will be making some of our own jams as well.

Well other than that nice week. I have managed to create a couple of new quick pages with one of my own kits which is called the blue kit

here is a preview of the pages

If you want to download them can download from here

just look for the dark night zip.

you can find the Blue kit on my blogsite

Well that's about it for now

Hope you have a great day

Just for show

Hi All

It's been a bit of an up and down week again... gee I wish I got more up then down..

We put our car in for service and it looks like the head is cracked so it's leaking water which we are going to have to now watch permanently.. We are looking at getting rid of the car permanently but we are not a hundred percent sure we can go without a car completely so we are going through a bit of a test at the moment to see if we can live without a car.

It's not easy because let's face is we all live in a society where cars are deemed necessary, although I hate driving in the UK I still have to consider certain aspects...

I'll keep you updated anyway.

Damien is doing ok in Australia by the sound of it he had som sort of driving lesson from my dad today bit of fun I guess... just hope they're careful

other than that I guess everything is quiet...

I thought I'd show off one of my latestest little creation... this guy and a couple of others will be available soon as freebies and as part of a new kit for those that want one... so let me know if you want him just leave a comment or a message and I'll get him up and out as soon as I can

have a good day

Hugs Michelle

So I'm about half way through the kit now but hopefully they should be available soon... but if any want the before a kit is put out as I said leave a message or comment and I'll get it up a bit soon

Hugs Michelle

small Update

Hi All
Sorry in the middle of doing a new kit so no new freebies at the moment.. But soon I hope.
Things are a bit up in the air at the moment.
I'm in a bipolar cycle which is making life difficult. My husband is bored all the time and wants to do stuff but he doesn't know what he wants to do and because I am in such a state of depression I don't really want to do anything.
Damien seems a bit bored in Australia at the moment so I'm getting slightly agro phone calls instead of nice I'm having a good time..etc then he's losing things and I'm not sure what he expects me to do he's in Australia not England so I can't find it for him.
Then yesterday we go out and some jerk off hits my car from behind after failing to check traffic and the fact that there were no traffic lights and then has the audacity to abuse and scream and swear at me.. On top of that I had right of way... so apart from the fact he hit me and the fact he didn't even know that traffic lights were out???? what does that tell you and he has to abuse me for hitting his mirror on my car when he didn't check what was happening.
Believe me since I've moved here I have been pushed off the road by drivers forced off the road, people swearing, honking their horns, speeding and then when you don't they will flash their lights honk their horns and pull fingers yell out window or swear at you... they don't know how to use roundabouts, riding on my rear end, driving too close, refuse to move over on country roads or to back up when they have a layaway just a right behind them and then forcing forward trying to make me back up sometimes upto nearly 1/2 km because they want to get through rather than them backing up a meter. I have never met a more disgusting rude people that the ones I have to deal with in this area... and there are those that think this is a great joke and laugh at you once they have achieved what they want... they don't stop when they hit you and I have been hit a few times because of people speeding on country roads and forcing themselves through in narrow area's where they should give way...
Since I moved to England and particularly Plymouth area I have found that drivers and unfortunately the people in general are the rudest most arrogant selfish drivers/people I have had the misfortune of dealing with.
Please note I do not include all people but as a whole plymouthians are total........ well I will not finish that sentence.
I don't want to nor do I intend offending anyone but I have really really had it... I am so sick and tired of being treated like ____fill in any blank you like because people think they are something more than they are or more important than anyone else.
It's sad when they make a mistake on the road and abuse you, swear at you or threaten you instead of acknowledging their own lack of concentration or their own errors...
I've had two years of having to deal with it and trying to assimilate with a new country where I have encountered rudeness from the day I first walked off a plane here....
I wont even go into Gatwick and the staff there and immigrations department.
so again I do not mean to offend but enough is enough and If only one person reads this and changes the way they behave on the roads whether in the UK or in any country for that matter then that's one more safer driver on the road... and I acknowledge everyone makes mistakes no is perfect but there are ways of dealing with things....
anyway sorry rant over again
hopefully soon new freebie will be available
hugs Michelle

New Recipe-

Hi All 

Hope your having a great week thus far.

I'm suffering a bit of depression at the moment. I miss my son terribly but also I just think I've had so much to deal with for so long that I'm not able to cope much any more. 

Paul was very sick again last night which also was a worry but he's in a foul mood right now. He downloaded a few weeks ago the stupid new windows 7 and with his being blind and using screen readers and it being a beta version it's not working properly for him. 

However I warned him not to download it... Like warning him a thousand times before not to fiddle with his computers in the hope of making them better but noooo!!!! does he listen to me... Don't be silly...I'm just the wife that has to spend hours reinstalling his dang computer fixing errors solving problems...Like I don't have enough to do already..

Sorry ranting a bit here... but I get so tired of it... He has had five computers in 2 years the first was an old Dell just couldn't keep up anymore so brought and Acer big mistake I've had acer before and hated it but I was convinced to try the new acers cause they are so much better...No they are not...they are to put it bluntly crap and no one ever can convince me otherwise; From the day we brought them they were nothing but problems... well that didn't last a year before he had a laptop... that laptop now no longer works or is used because he first tried to turn it back to xp and then he thought he might like to learn linux well that went pear shaped... that computer isn't even used anymore... then I brought him a hp laptop... the software he had to use clashed with it and so he couldn't use it so he went back to the acer for a while... then I brought him an webbook and well that worked for him however it wasn't enough so I had to go and buy a desktop and unfortunately stupidly he chose hewlard packard what a piece of rubbish but he also had to try and improve it and so we get to the fact that he has windows 7 on it and it doesn't work... now he has a mac and I swear I will cheerfully strangle him if he even once tries to improve it... and each one has been stuffed up in some way...the only one now I know he can't screw up too much is the new mac I just brought him...He's never had one before so I don't think that at this point he would be silly enough to screw around with it without me killing him....oh well at least not all the computers have gone to waste Damien my son ended up with the hp laptop and the webbook recently for his trip to australia and he's also gotten a couple of the older computers...  

So there you have it he's in a mood because the computer doesn't work well and he did it!!!!... and I'm the one that's got to try and appease and fix things... basically bear the brunt of it

Anyways rant over.... I hope...lol 

So this is a recipe I threw together tonight with left over stuff that had to be used and some imagination... 

Hope you like 

hugs Michelle

Hi All

I hope your all having a great week.
This week has been a bit of an up and down week for me.

Damien left for Australia Thursday last week and it was a tense 10hours until we new he had managed to find his connecting flight.
He made it to Australia 30 minutes before scheduled and mum and dad were waiting to collect him.
He seems to be having fun over there at this time.

For me it was a bit hard cause first the concern of him travelling alone but then it was cool he's gone for five months Paul and I can have some time to ourselves but then I felt guilty because I felt that way.

Unfortunately have had some serious depression this last week..
However hopefully that will all settle soon.

Anyway I have gotten to creating and I found a fantastic freebie kit by http://scrapwedopascaleanddavid.blogspot.com/ and after getting permission from Pascale I have a QP Freebie for you all

Update

Hi all
Just thought I'd write a quick update
It's been bit busy around here since we got our permanent visa's.

We are now sending Damien back to Australia for a few months as he has been missing family
there for such a long time now.. He wasn't supposed to go back until september but we managed to scrounge some money together and he is going back next week!!!
He leaves Thursday afternoon at 2:15 and arrives in Perth West Aus 5:25Pm the next day.
Needless to say though I'm definately a bit distressed...One because he's going but two because
he's never travelled alone before.
I know he's 17 and all but only just barely and this is a kid that doesn't leave his bedroom unless crowbarred out and made to go out with us for a day...
I mean this kid wont even catch a bus on his own cause he's scared he'll get the wrong bus or miss his bus or something, believe me we've tried everything to get this kid out of his room... so yeah just a bit stressful in sending him off on his own.
I think he's pretty stressed too...although very happy to be going home also very stressed ashe seems to be getting sicker and sicker by the day...
Hopefully though that will settle down for him once he starts to travel..

We too are also looking at moving...yeah... I mean we've got to save a deposit and all but hopefully we'll be moving sometime between now and before winter starts.
So we've started looking around and well hopefully that will all go smoothly...We've been so unhappy here for a long time that it's caused so much stress and tension within the family at times. Basically we're not living we exist and there is nothing worse than just existing ... so hopefully a fresh start will help us all to feel better.

Actually we're in the process of cleaning the house...lol spring clean I guess just in case we find a house we like and we have the deposit then we can just get on with things..
Finally got the spare room clean yeah... only take three months since we shifted the bedrooms around last time to finish getting it clean but yeah now it's done...

Well that's about it for now.. busy as always... but hopefully will have a new freebie up soon I am working on a new kit now for you all
thanks for continuing to visit and being patient while I also try to get my creativity back..
hugs to all and
see you soon

New Freebie -Kit

Hi all

Well I hope your all having a great week... Ours has been a bit up and down. First our car decided to spit it with the break lights so had to get them repaired. Well at least the switch because that was what was causing all the problems.

We ended up having to hire a car because they didn't have the parts which was annoying and the person that was supposed to have booked it all in didn't.

I will never use enterprise car rentals again.

I was told would get the car for just over £27 for the 24 hours so you get told one thing then when they have you in the office after filling everything in, with no warning they then tell you they want £150 Deposit.

Most car rentals I've used will take your credit or debit card details and then hold on til the car is brought back to take all monies owing not not this company they want all monies up front however they don't tell you up front they want a deposit of £150.

I find that disgusting not that they want a deposit but that they don't tell you from the start that you have to pay it and they will refund it when they get the car back... of course we didn't have that kind of money so had to use funds we needed for the Visa application which is another whole set of problems

Then when I went to put in my Visa application for permanent residency they had majorly up the blinking prices.

We had saved money for the application for a number of months so that we weren't stressed about the money and we'd managed to save a little more than the application needed just incase there was unexpected expences but we weren't expecting what they decided to put it up to and worst is I had checked the site only four days before there wasn't even any blinking warning that they were putting the prices up... let's stop there because I'm not a happy person.

Needless to say though I'm very stressed about the application. I just don't want anything to go wrong...One it's my family the most important thing to me and two it's a hell of a lot of money paid out not to be returned if they decide to reject the application. That's where I'm going to leave it on that because...well just because

But on the good side Paul is better finally. Everything has stabbalised temporarily for him and I hope it stays for just a little while...

And we are going to our special memorial night tonight the most important night for Jehovah Witnesses... I can't wait... Have missed a lot of meetings due to illness within the family so it'll be nice to get to a meeting and just relax I hope.

Well I have created a new kit just called Yellow-Gold

here is a preview for you

If you'd like to download the kit can get it here

well that's about it for now....

thanks for visiting

sometimes I need to rant...lol... It's so stressful at times and well sometimes it has to come out somewhere

anyway... again thanks for visiting...if you'd like to show me anything you create with my kits I'd love to see it

and if you'd like to leave some love and thanks I appreciate that too

hugs Michelle
