I was reading another blog about organising tasks. I have sooo many things i want to do that i often get overwhelmed and i get nothing down. The advice of the blog post was to write it down and tick it off when done. Sounds simple really. So here is my first one.

I would like to make 20 cards to give to a charity shop to sell. However there is one task that i needed to do before this one and that's to tidy my craft room so i can actually get in there.

My new toy

Electric singer sewing machine. It's a work of art in itself

Cake yummy

Happy belated new year.

I just thought i would write a post reflecting on all that's happened in the past year, good and bad.so here goes.

1. Getting over dads funeral end of 2012

2. moving into my new bungalow end of 2012 and settling in

3. ups and downs and my condition and going into rehab to get back   on track.

4. starting at the gym- this has been a turning point for me and has given me abit of confidence

5. sorting out medication for my bladder as its overactive- makes a huge difference to be on them

6. going on holiday to Cornwall with my parents- gave me a break from appointments and loved it

7. winning a competition that consisted of a new ipad, 2 x laptops, one hoover and a food processor, which was given as a gift card. that was my ultimate ending to the year.

8. i forgot number 8- being measured for my new leg braces that will hopefully help me stand. I haven't been able to stand independently for nearly 2 years, so I'm very very excited.

So that sums up my last year, there were alot of up and downs with my health and i know that this won't go away, however the highlights in between keep me going.

I hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and Santa brought you lots of goodies. Christmas Eve was abit difficult as it was one year ago that dad died, but I got through it by delivering presents to various family members.

Next week it's back to appointments again. I've been having problems with my stomach, so I can only eat a couple of mouth falls of food at once. My Christmas dinner was tiny and eaten in two stages. Managed some choccie though of course. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound to see what's going on.

Next week I get cast for my new leg braces, I'm super excited as hopefully I will be able to stand for the first time in 19 months.

On another note, I made my first sweet tree, my  parents loved it. 

 I have a new toy, an IPad mini, I may have got abit carried away and downloaded a few apps, my Gav is a photo one, so beware I may fill my blog with lots of pics,here's my first.

It has been a rough couple of weeks and i hope the doctors can sort me out on Monday. Today i managed to go along to the church as its dad's birthday today. He died a year ago on Christmas eve and i just wanted to go to the church as way of thinking about him, if that makes sense.

Ive got a busy week coming up next week which includes

Monday- doctors

Tuesday- gym(if i can make it)

Wednesday- physio and psychologist

Thursday- free hoorah

Friday- gym, then a man coming to service my bed lift ( ooh eeer that does not sound right)

I wanted to show you some cards i made at craft class ages ago, Sorry about the rubbish pics.
