It’s been a bit of a creative week. I’ve made quite a few card this week and I’ve done the Wednesday and Friday Tangles.

So here are the cards I’ve made:

They’re the cards I’ve made and I’m pretty impressed with them.

Here are the tangles:

I also did my tile for the tile swap but I’m not sharing the picture yet. Maybe further down the line I’ll share it.

Wednesday was MRI day and it was a long day. I didn’t sleep very well Tuesday night and had to be up earlier on Wednesday for the monthly blood test.

I had a bad headache from the moment I woke up on Wednesday morning I think it was caused by lack of sleep and dehydration. I had the blood test with no issues and because of the dehydration I had a few things to drink. I moved to the dining room also known as my craft room. I still had the headache and I was really fighting to keep my eyes open. The problem being my sister was cleaning up my room so I couldn’t go back to bed.

I just said to mum and dad that I was going to steal their bed for a bit. So went upstairs and grabbed a bottle of Vimto and went to sleep on mum and dad’s bed. I only slept for a couple of hours because I set my alarm to get up in time for the Tangle session. I felt a bit better after the sleep, not as tired but still had the headache. I did the tangle shared it on Facebook and then it was time to set off to Salford Royal hospital for the MRI.

Something I noticed on the way to the hospital was that as lots of things are closed at the moment there was still a lot of traffic on the roads. It really did make me wonder what everyone was or had been doing.

So we got to the hospital went through the different hall ways and found the MRI department. I checked in and we sat outside the MRI rooms. Then my name was called. It turned out that I wasn’t having the MRI inside. We had to wind our way through more hallways and out to one of the MRI trucks. Because I was in my chair I got to use the lift up the side. That was a bit freaky, I haven’t been on one of them before so at least it was something new. It felt a bit rickety while it was moving but the worst bit was when the gates were shut. For some reason, I found that bit really strange. So when I was up there the side door opened, it was like a garage door and that rattled. So yes I went inside lay down had my head wedged in and then the cage went on.

I understand the need to wedge the head in as you don’t want it to move but I’m not sure why the cage is needed. There will be a reason for it but I have no idea what that is.

There is a hell of a lot of love out there from the tangle and craft community. While sharing the cards I’ve made on Facebook the reception has been great. The card with the daffodils on it at last count has 158 likes. Which is amazing and all of the comments on all of the cards shared have been really positive and nice.

On the tangle video on Wednesday I said I wasn’t feeling great and had to go for an MRI later in the day and people replied with really nice comments and showed lots of support. After the MRI when I got home I put up another post just to say that everything went well and to say thank you for all the support and how great the tangling community was. The feedback from that was also great.

Another amazing thing happened last night while I was at church. When dad got back from dropping me off someone walked up the path. It was 2 ladies from the development group. They came to drop off a bunch of flowers to say thank you. All this was unknown to me because I was at church. They then left the flowers and went down to church themselves. When I saw them there they didn’t say anything. When I got home had my tea then I saw them. They are a really nice bunch of flowers.

Today when mum was sorting out the flowers she came across a note attached:

The note was so nice

This evening I had a majorly messed up time. I had feeling that I just couldn’t figure out. I was upset but not in a bad way and I was feeling a bit rough as well. I talked to mum about what I was feeling but I really struggled to explain what was happening.

Mum managed to come to the conclusion that I was overwhelmed because of all the love, support and positivity that came from people in different ways and I wasn’t used to all the positivity. When it was explained things started making sense. I knew I was tearful and crying but didn’t feel bad or upsets. I felt good. Having mixed up emotions and stuff is hard work, especially when you seem to have conflicting feelings. I have also felt a bit rough today and sickly but again no idea why that was either. But with everything added together it just really confused me and I wasn’t sure what to do and how to deal with the feelings I was having.

So a massive thank you to everyone for all the love and support that’s been shown over the last week.

Love and light
