    7. Hello my dear blog friends I'm in bed now Im still suffering rhumotiod arthritis pain and swelling in my fingers wrist elbows but cannot have nothing for it till my liver goes back to normal but I cannot see that happening so I'm just groovi-ing and colouring as doing nothing the pain is still there so I might as well groovi or colour my groovi and suffer the pain at least I've achieved something. Life eh I will say goodnight hugs xxx

      Reply

    8. Goodnight Sheila sleep well, nothing worse than being in pain all the time but doing something like groovi does take your mind off of it for a while, as you said you feel like you've achieved something, that's good for the soul I'm sure. I had more acupuncture on Thursday my Physiotherapist was leaving today so will eventually go on to someone else, in the meantime waiting for an MRI scan, booked to see the Spinal Assessment Therapist 21st November, but no physio in between only the exercises I've been doing for nearly 7 months now. If I haven't had the scan by a week before the appointment I have to cancel the S.A.T. appointment. So hey ho, that's the story so far. Love and hugs Pam xxx

    9. Yay, you've cracked it Sheila. That's how I get through each day in pain with no analgesia. (I know my pains are not quite the same as your rhuematoid arthritis.) I somehow learned not to fear the pain, not to bother so much that doing something was going to cause me pain for sure, that I was going to feel it whether I lay in bed or was up doing something. So I do as much as my CFS muscles will allow, pushing it to the very edge, (and over at times!!!) and stuff the pain. Keep going Sheila, it does get easier to do in time. And you can learn to get less aware of the pain for bits of time if doing something. I've even somehow learned to fall asleep while in a lot of pain, some of my pains get worse the longer I'm lying in bed at night. Yes I still have days where it gets the better of me and I cry because of the pain, but that would happen, and probably more, if I was just lying, or sitting doing nothing. If you be aware of everything you do, and do trials of doing things differently – positions, how you hold something, which joints to spare, that kind of thing, you can probably find ways that causes less pain for some things, and then that lets you have more time and/or suffer less doing the thing. Got to make the most of what we can in our lot in life. That's life's challenge to each of us, no matter what lot we've been given. Take care, and enjoy your crafting tomorrow xx

    11. Thank you Brenda for your wisdom special blog friend we don't ask for much do we just one easy day I'm looking round at all my flowers and potted flowers my winning plates I bought with my voucher the stunning art work from Dee and my birthday cards I'm blessed really just the pain is too much and the tears are near so it's time to say goodnight xxx
      Your card to me was beautiful I think you should enter a blog challenge but wouldn't like You to fear doing it when your ready please do crafting hugs xxx

    12. Thanks Sheila, you're very kind. I imagine your pain level most days is like my worst days, which aren't too often just now with not having support. It must be so hard for you, arthritis pain isn't an 'easy' one, especially when you can't have any of the medication for it. I do hope your liver problem gets sorted so you can have some relief from your arthritis. I'm going to see if I can manage some Groovi colouring in tomorrow too.

      I've been sick for 23 years solid now. Imagine if we could have just one day with no ill and no pain, and no Aspergers too. What would you do? I don't even need to think, I'd spend my day windsurfing, feeling that free feeling for the first time in many years. And we'd need to squeeze in a wee visit with Barbara too, before we turned back into Cinders at midnight. Night night xx

    14. Brenda and Sheila, you make me feel very humble. I don't know either of you but reading your posts I can feel your strength and resilience. I admire both of you and anyone else who has daily battles to overcome.

    Well done Isobel…one lucky lady!
    Julies art work is beautiful! That would grace anyone's wall! Leave my name out of the draw Barbara! I'd love it of course but I'm part of your team so it wouldn't be right if I got it!!

    7. Hi Chris, getting excited, looking forward to meeting you and all those on the blog that will be there. Only hope,we manage it, as,at Crowborough there were so many people. I was looking out for Jackie and Lynne to no avail. Until Barbara printed the photo on the blog, Jackie was at the front and I was at the back. That's really funny I'm on your shopping list.xxx

  9. Well done Isobel, lucky lady a piece to treasure. Another roll of the dice as well, I shall be keeping my fingers crossed, I would say toes as well but they are just far too painful. We have spent the afternoon in Burton hospital while Fred had an iron infusion, hoping he is going to have some more energy for a while. Hope your show goes well. xx

  12. Hi Barbara, glad you've got all set up, and can now enjoy your evening with your friends, I hope.

    I think I'm being thick here, to do with this month's Diamond club. (All are extra lovely this month.) I'm not allowed to say what things are because it upsets some people, so I'll try. It's the Groovi project titled aunt and uncle, the wee design you put in each corner, where do I get that? I really want it, but it's not on the club plate, and it's not in the new section on your website, and there's no mention of it in the shopping list that I can see anyway. Your step by step reads and looks, to me, like it's on the club plate, which obviously it isn't, so I know I've gone wrong somewhere in my interpretation. Got myself all confused now. Can you make the light bulb go on in my head please?!!!

    Another generous offer of a lovely piece of art and a voucher for a lucky person. You're so good to us. It's like you're a magnet for talented crafter's/artists, in my opinion, your DT samples are always beyond any other companies I see on the telly. Love your wee animal pictures too. I must have been looking like that dog when trying to work out this Groovi club confusion I've got myself in!!!! Congratulations to Isobel.

    Hope you have a fun day tomorrow, and loads of sales too, and your neck survives too.
    Love Brenda xx

    1. Hello Brenda. This might be way off , but I was wondering if the heart could have come from the Wedding Decorations Groovi Border, and the inset from the Wedding Line Sentiments (The entwined rings)!! Just a thought.
      Love and Hugs to you and Daisy. xxx

      Reply

    2. Hello Brenda, mine came today, I'm off to have a closer look and see if I can help you. I thought you were going to say the stamp, it's got one name on the stamp and another on the project, i had a chuckle, doesn't worry me,it's a beautiful stamp anyway. Hope you have had a better day today. Sending hugs to you and Daisy xxx

      Reply

    3. Sorry I can't help you with this Brenda, as I don't do Groovi. On the back of the other monthly club projects there is always a list of what Barbara has used, so I don't know if that's the same with the baby plates. Hope someone else can help to turn the light on for you x

      Reply

    4. Hi Brenda – glad to know that we're not the only ones looking for this! Dawn & I were trying the project last night and Dawn thought that those little corner designs must be on another groovi plate – but, looking again at the photos on the project sheet, you can see that they should have been on the NDC plate – just look at the photo for Step 1 of the "Dad" project. So I guess the question is, have some people got a plate with the central design and 4 corner elements and did we get incomplete plates, or was the design of the plate changed after Barbara had done the projects?
      Hope you can solve this puzzle, Barbara?

    5. Just checked Morag, nope, it's not that, but thanks for trying. Hope you manage to enjoy tomorrow, I think you'll need to prepare yourself for loads of cuddles!!! xx

      It's not meant to be on the club plate Margaret because the picture on the front of the project sheet doesn't have it on xx

      Thanks everyone for thinking of me. Still struggling bad, but put that energy into doing an extra chore today. Not good for my CFS, but it's a wee thing within my control ticked off, and my worse CFS might mean I get more sleep tonight! Method in my madness!!!

      Just had to be brave and switch the heating on, couldn't bear the cold any longer. Lets see if the 4 days of workmen in and out at it have sorted all the problems. So scared of a boiler, that about sums up my life, quality of life these days!!!

      Reply

    6. Brenda I think the corner design is on the baby inset plate which goes in the big plate mate. Us design club members have a baby Groovi plate mate which doesn't have it on. I think Barbara has been so busy she didn't realise but you could do a little loop in each corner using the outside of the new plate xx

      Reply

    8. Evening Brenda – pleased to hear that you have been able to achieve something, and 'ticked it off' – but sorry to hear that you are having to pay the price with your CFS being worse. It's so like you to look for the positive – that you will sleep better. Sending you and Daisy hugs, love Gilly xx

      Reply

    9. Hi Brenda,
      I wondered that myself. When I looked at the " ingredients" on the back, the Art Deco border plate is mentioned, so it might be on there – I haven't checked mind you. I'm glad you are a bit better today and hope that the boiler behaves itself! Sendin you and Daisy lots of love and hugs, Alison xxx

    10. Hello Brenda I did all what you did I wondered if it's going to be released on Paul church groovi shows or Barbara shows hope Barbara can help us out hugs for you and daisy xxx

      Reply

    11. Ah, thanks Sue. How's your mum doing? XX

      It's not on the art deco border or the baby plate inset. I think Sue has the answer.

      Thank you everyone xx

      Sorry Barbara, it was maybe wrong of me to ask. Normally I wouldn't have, just put it down to my Asperger's, but I do really want the design, that's why I asked. Sorry if I've caused any problems xxxxxxx

    12. Hi Me again Brenda, I've had a look and I'm stuck too but it's ok, I'm wondering if I can work a heart out from the knot (beautiful isn't it). I hope your boiler is working ok, by the sounds of it that's been one of the causes of your upset this week, but I hope it's sorted now, all fixed and you can be safe and warm this winter. Xxx

    13. Hello Brenda. Mum is getting worse unfortunately. She is still at home, with me caring for her. She now can't remember the lay out of her own house and keeps getting lost and not able to find the bathroom or toilet on her own. It is really strange how the mind works, she now thinks she lives underground and has to cross a road to get to the bathroom. I hope you and Daisy are well. I really enjoyed reading about your exploits during the Olympics. My cat Korky recognised a lot of the events Daisy entered! Best wishes, Sue

      Reply

    14. Thanks Diane. Aye, that's one of the things. They can't even say for definite its sorted, just hoping so, because 2 of the 3 problems they've not seen for themselves. So it's a wait and see just now. But I still managed my day out this week, remember my garden guy (he thinks it funny you all call him that!!!) was giving me a day out. It had to be planned at short notice but that's ok, and it gave me a wee break from everything, which helped. I thought the same thing about working something out from the knot. Should be a doddle for my Asperger's brain eh!!! I do like celtic knots/designs too xx

      I'm sorry to hear that Sue, it must be so heart breaking for you to see your mum like this. Are you getting some help now? You can't do this all on your own 24/7 you'll burn out. We're always here for if you need to get stuff out/share it. I'm glad my Olympics cheered you up. I had a lot of fun coming up with events, it wasn't hard though, just normal everyday stuff in the Brenda/Daisy household!!! Shh don't be telling Daisy she's got competition, she'll demand a rematch, to increase her medal tally!!!! Please remember to look after you too, take care xx

    15. Evening Brenda I got ma wee diamond parcel the day to and just love the wee groovi plate had to have a wee look just then thought the corners had been made from the design itself but cant figure that out so maybe no Anyway Barbara wont mind you saying as it just shows you like her design. I love the whole 3 this month going to have a wee play with the stencil at the weekend.
      Hope the boiler is working ok and you and Daisy are nice and cosy think its time for fleecy jammies tae.
      Here's yir cuddle..love Dot..xx

      Reply

    17. Brenda, I'm sure there's no reason for you to apologise for asking about those little designs – when you look closely at the photos on the project sheet, it's quite clear that they were all on the NDC groovi plate that Barbara was using, so it must just be a minor glitch between design and mass production – but Barbara knows that she has a very supportive and loyal fan-base/Clarity community in the New Design Club and we're not going to get uppity about it – you weren't complaining, merely asking a very valid question to seek clarification, and I'm sure you won't have upset her by that.

I've just wikipediaed him and he's just the right age for me – I'm 49, he's 52 and he also knows where I live, well the town anyway. Tilda Swinton lives in our town and 2 or 3 years ago when Brad Pitt was making a film in Glasgow he came to Nairn to visit Tilda. They went out for a meal in one of the bars/restaurants in the town which was closed for them. Julia Pitt…mmm, I'm not sure if it has a ring to it or not.

I bought the Agapanthus plate plus lots of other goodies well there was a voucher to make use of it would have been rude not to!
    Thanks Barbara for an entertaining and informative morning.
