I know I have been missing in action and not posted anything for a very long time but I'm hoping to get back into blogging and keep everyone posted of my latest crafty makes and all things fibro ....... My health has taken a nose dive and since Christmas I haven't been able to,sit up unsupported so cue a new fancy wheelchair. I have a salsa mini and I love it ! The seat is reclined so I'm supported and the controls are so easy to use I can turn on the spot ! I'm struggling with pain management at the moment but I'm trying to keep busy and keeping my crafting going.<br />
<br />
So onto crafting .... I have kind of upgraded lol. I have made myself a dress ! Yes I said I MADE A DRESS !! What you think ? I'm already planning 2 more dresses one in bumble bee fabric and the other in unicorns 🦄💕 anyway that's me for today ! Off for a rest .love n hugs guys xx<img src="webkit-fake-url://36d307c4-429e-44a2-a18c-8f9b6ab8c67f/imagejpeg" /><img src="webkit-fake-url://6cc95638-549e-44b3-a49f-3404a2fa1825/imagejpeg" /><img src="webkit-fake-url://b3ab5862-b11a-4528-8936-67c980bc17ed/imagejpeg" /><br />
