I need two...think I have about ten now! They're so more-ish! I learnt this week, or rather, last week, that I do talk to myself... a lot. With hubby being away, I thought I wouldn't talk much, because he always says, 'are you talking to the cat, me or some stranger I can't see?' So it now stands to reason that I am talking to the cat, me or some stranger even I can't see! Love the rainbows too. Wishing your mum well and you safe, stay crafting! Happy WOYWW!?

LOL And what a tip for our Glossy Accents!! I seem to have the tip issue too, but I will definitely be trying this little trick out!!! Julia, I do hope and think Doug knows that we are ALL sending so many positive and peaceful prayers and wishes his way this Friday. Would we all be able to be there to support him......however, love can be felt and surround a person in so many ways! I'm sure I have missed a post at some point where you have expressed your dealings with your mother's dementia and I am so sorry for her and you on that score. I have heard so many stories on that score and it's such a robbing disease!! My mother has MS and it's another robbing disease that is so painful to have to watch for your loved one to go through. We still are not able to go into her nursing home, so bravo that you guys are able to do that and what a special treat she receives!! Yum! Hope you all remain healthy and heres to a wonderful week!

I'm sure from spending time with my own Mum at her care home, that even when she no longer knew who I was, she still enjoyed the company and in some ways she was still herself so it was good to spend that time with her - there were many hilarious moments too and as you say those things are priceless. <br />I love the little gnomes on your card, very cute and I totally agree about the faces. Have you seen those gnomes you can make out of socks which look like that? Each year I mean to make some for Christmas, maybe this year I'll start early ...

I am praying that the number of schools round us with Covid outbreaks doesn't get any worse as some have had to send pupils home already and one has closed completely. Loving the Gnomes they are so sweet, I've got some but haven't felt like using them but your card looks so nice that it might tempt me. The tip with the Glossy Accents is more or less what I do but I also keep stainless steel pins in them too which helps.

How sweet of you to feed melted chocolate to your mum. When my husband's mother was in a home we were planning all sorts of things to do with her and never got around to it - my husband still regrets not doing enough and keeps saying that we should have done more - but we visited regularly and she was in a lovely home in the Cotswolds where she grew up, in a spacious room with views of a field with cows and she always smelled fresh - they took good care of her there. What more can we wish for in our old age? Hope you're enjoying your visit - have a lovely week, Julia xx zsuzsa (will be linking up later)Zsuzsa Karoly-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427330015740268592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-37612015293535357712021-03-17T08:54:57.895+00:002021-03-17T08:54:57.895+00:00Well that's me done, reaching for the tissues ...Well that's me done, reaching for the tissues again. It really must be soup for the soul to be able to have skin on skin rather than peering in through the window. I hope someone has the foresight to feed me chocolate and coffee like that. I do love your gnomes and I have a lot of gnome cut files / images that I could possibly print off now that you've sparked the idea.
