I am a Mum of Two, I am a Crafty Girl and I do have my Vintage Ways, but I'm not so 'average'. I need to manage a 'chronic health condition', well that's what They tell me at the hospital!
I've been having so much fun lately, taking the girls out, getting ready for my little Craft Fair and trying to be an 'average' Mum that I haven't been listening to my body. I haven't been taking heed of the lighthouse (hence the above picture!) and feel like I've crashed, ( only a little crash this time, I've had much bigger ones!), into the rocks!
My body is exhausted. Its like the toddler you take to the supermarket, at first they really enjoy all the sights, colours and sounds, then it all gets too much! They plonk themselves down on the floor, make lots of noise and refuse to move! My body has got slower and slower and Has Had Enough! It's plonked itself down!
I'm sorry I haven't been to visit your blogs, or leave you my little thoughts, and I promise I will do very soon but I need to rest a while. Those word verification thingies aren't half difficult when you are tired!
Thank you all for your comments on my suitcase! You are all so kind, it's great to share Crafty Stuff with you all!
I'm going to draw my Giveaway now on the 2nd of September as I need to try and concentrate on my little Craft Stall, my Big Sis is going to help me out on the day, thanks Big Sis!
Hope you have fun over the next few days and those of you getting ready to go back to school, hope you have the uniforms sorted! I will be back soon as I need to share with you the lovely 'Sister Day' we had!

Hi Ada,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that, I know exactly what it's like when your head is so busy with ideas but your body tells you "stop!." And then it refuses to do what you want it to. Have a good rest (as much as you can anyway), and ditch all the non-essential stuff. Feel better soon.

Aah poop - I am so sorry you are ill....bodies can be such treacherous things! Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to trade in the worn out bits and get new ones. I hope you get better soon and regain your strength and energy.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'doily on vintage sheet' - so pretty...best combo in the world. :)
Oh Sweetie i'm so sorry to hear you're not well! I hope you can take some time out and recuperate, take care lovely Ada! Rachel x
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your unwell, have a lovely rest and relax as much as you can. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteAww Ada, hope you're feeling full of vim again soon ... the school hols take it out of us all! Have a good rest chuck ...
ReplyDeletePS: Is it just me or are these word verification thingys getting harder to encode ... sometimes it takes me 3 times to get it right, feel like giving up, but won't let it beat me!

There are no prizes for doing it all despite how we kid ourselves. I prescribe a few pootly days to finish the hols then a few even pootlier ones once the Smalls are safely back at school. Cups of tea, radio 4, maybe some baking or fiddling in the garden and some more tea. That's what I am planning for me too and there is nothing wrong with me!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.

Oh Ada ... so sorry to hear you are feeling unwell ... take time to rest and relax ... bodies need time to heal ... sending you lots of get well hugs ... Bee xx
DeleteSending hugs to you... I live in a body that I have to listen to very closely. I've cultivated patience and a pleasure in small things... enjoy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThe women in this lovely blogging community do a heck of a lot in supporting each other through the ups and downs - health/domestic/creative/emotional/practical so I am sure, Ada, that you are feeling the 'lurve'!!! ; ) from us all. So many of us, to a greater or lesser degree, are quietly going through life coping with ill health whilst living their lives to the full. I know having a creative outlet is good for me, and knowing I have both 'in the flesh' and 'bloggy' friends is a great boost.
ReplyDeleteHere's more power to your elbow - or indeed, whichever bit(s) of you could be functioning a bit better. Lxxxx
Ada, I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Relax and rest when you can. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeletehugs
Take it easy and get a recoup in x
ReplyDeleteThanks you Guys, you are all so Brill! I know there are a lot worse of than myself, and I certainly never do the whole feeling sorry for myself but I do know when to stop and rest! I have a whole afternoon to rest, my girls are with their friends ( my friends are sooo good at stepping in when needed! ), and I'm resting doing my favourite quiet activity, blog reading! Thank you for your concern, I will be back up and hobbling soon! Ada :) x
ReplyDeleteOh Ada, I'm sorry you're not feeling too great. Make sure you get lots of rest and take things easy - lots of tea and cake helps I find :)
ReplyDeleteVictoria xx
There is nothing better than exhaustion from inspiration and lovely people to share it with ......I know your going to be a sell out!
ReplyDeleteTake care my sweetness.. and look after yourself....and i hope you will be feeling better soon.
ReplyDeletePixie x
I hope you feel a bit better & can get back on top of things soon. In the meanwhile don't stress yourself out about things like visiting peoples' blogs, just enjoy it during downtime :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are suffering and done too much. Hope you have a good rest, we will still be around when you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteTake care and take it easy.

Sorry your body is poorly.Rest and give yourself time to get your strength back.
ReplyDeleteTake care X
yes Ada, take care of yourself. You have had such a fabulous, storming beginning, we will all still be here waiting to hear from you when you can. Heather x
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for all your comments on my posts. I do hope you will be feeling better soon and take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteDear Ada, now is the time to just be........just be you. You may want to be everything to everybody but none of us can do that. You sound like a full on fun person from the little I can glean from this blog, with a very big heart. Take care of your heart and soul, the best thing you can do for those who love you the most.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the blog reading but pace your recovery....it is OK to slow down. xxxxx
Keeping you in my prayers sweet friend. May you have a restful weekend. Take care and sending you hugs. xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking of you and hoping you get plenty of rest and feel better soon. Take care, Ada.
ReplyDeleteSending warm wishes
Helen x
So sorry to hear you're feeling poorly and hope you get lots of rest and are up & about again soon. All the best for your craft stall, and what fun to have your sis helping out too - I know it will be fabulous. Take care of you,
ReplyDeletehugs xx
Have a good rest chuck. Get the husbo to slave after you and make you lots of cups of tea!
ReplyDeleteI love the top pic. In answer to your previous comment, the rabbit lamp would look great next to your bed. I am thinking of getting another for my living room!

Hi Everyone, thanks for your warm, kind wishes, I've had lots of rest, read lots of blogs, drank lots of tea and am beginning to feel more like myself! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are taking it easy and getting better :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you lots of luck with the fair x x x x x x
Take it easy and take care! I hope everything goes well for you at the Craft Fair! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your sweet comments!
ReplyDeleteStephanie
Missed this. I do hope you're soon feeling better m'dear. As you know I have a few health problems myself so I totally understand how easily it can be to overdo it. Take care xxx
ReplyDeleteI disappeared for a few days for a holiday trip. The first thing I find, when I got back on line, is that my dear bloggy friend is less than her best. Hope you are re-charging quickly, so that you can enjoy your vendor experience. Looking forward to updates when you are able to share.
ReplyDeleteR&R prescribed Ada - our earthly bodies sometimes don't do all the we ask of them and we need a break from that hustle and bustle.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and wellness coming your way
Jenny
Oh gosh - that doesn't sound good, but I can completely understand. I have days where I have more energy then I know what to do with and then end up crashing for the rest of the week - I wish my body could regulate it.
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest well
Nina x
you have such a delightful blog...A lot of the fabrics remind me of my bedding as a child- love the bright vintage patterns and colours.
ReplyDeleteI have been catching up on older posts to get to know your blog. I sat with tears reading of your dear, kind mother and those cherished hands that brought you up...i loved those words. We've had family members with similar illness and its sad to see someones personality being taken and the shell of a living body left behind. On another note i bet she would be so proud of all your doings and makes, bless you x
Thank you for your kind words, I've just been to see Mum and had lots of kisses and cuddles! She's happy in her own little world and is being looked after by some fantastic women! I just wish I was physically able to care for her. Ada :)
DeleteSending best wishes, I'll look forward to catching up with your blogging sometime soon, take care. x
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are ill, sending lots of bloggy hugs and best wishes to you - get well soon. xx
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling the best at the moment Ada. Hopefully you have time to rest and will soon be up and about again. Sending bloggy hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon, take care and get all the rest you can x
ReplyDeleteHugs Magie
Take care my friend...these things happen to us all...me must take care of ourselves first before we can take care of others. Hugs. oxoxxo
ReplyDeleteDear Ada, sorry to hear you've had a plonk down. I hope you are feeling better now. I've been a little lax in keeping up with my blog reading having spent Labor Day weekend with the grandkids so I'm behind. Take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal and rest.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sharon
