Today, since I stayed in bed all day (again) and didn't make anything - I offer you this pretty plate of fruit and some cold cream. Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind. Not yet, at least. I thought I'd post a couple of images from 'The Graphics Fairy'. She has such pretty Victorian clip art and I have decorated my blog with some of it. I was born for shabby chic. I love the Victorian era and ribbons and fru fru of any kind. Sometimes I just surf around admiring all the artwork and creativity in this category. The only thing I don`t care for is the fact that if you fill your home with all of the lovely trinkets it`s a terrible headache house cleaning. (As if housecleaning isn`t a headache enough!)
I am determined to get out of bed tomorrow and create. I have my new pigment dyes I want to use to distress some card stock, as well as distressing stickles. I finally remembered to pick up a corner rounder punch. Lots of little things to try. I have countless digital images to play with as well. Since I have been bedridden for a couple of days I have had plenty of time to collect and sort through digital images that I like. I only need a little bit of life in me to get going. I am so weak and ill. I cannot really describe how I feel. When I do, my husband just stares at me.
One time I tried to describe the pain I experience during one phase of my dialysis. The closest I could come was to say it felt like an extremely bad menstrual cramp. Of course he came back with And I know what that feels like HOW..... Likewise I can say I am feeling ill but I cannot put it into understandable terms. I feel awful is all I can say. Sometimes I can feel myself dying. But I will not die from this! Transplant. Transplant. Transplant. I must stay positive and beat this and someday look back at this time of my life with thankfulness that it is done.
Hey Ali - I'm sorry to hear about your health, but I hope that things will turn around for you real soon. You are in my thoughts!
