WOYWW #532 {a time lapse}

Happy desk peeking day, if you'd like to see more spaces or play along 
the link up for this blog hop starts here at our hostess
There is also a new Instagram hashtag of #WOYWW

 Long time no see ya, at this time last week I was in the local hospital's ICU awaiting the second half a procedure that allowed me to go home that afternoon. I ah have an unprovoked blood clot behind my left knee and it started breaking up and all decided to gather the pieces in my lungs. But, the what they did to me worked and I am doing better and better each day.

 somewhere mid July ish, the Hero Arts monthly hero kit arrived. (along with a couple of add ons of course) I did use the camper for the last IC I had made a sample for about 3 weeks ago now you can see that here.

 and somewhere after that I had a couple different orders arrive all at the same time and did one big mug shot of it all, bought quite a bit of this to use during dtgd but I did not get as much done as I normally do.

and yes, you guessed it another order arrived while I was in the hospital so. yeah. I am mostly working on getting better and better each day to have the oomph to play with it all. if your curious how one of the foil things was used that can be seen in the post before this one. ( all the cards have links to the challenge under them which means I cross linked them from those challenge chatter threads to my uploads in the gallery at scs. ) I have not really had the energy yet to re type it all for the blog but, if you see something you are really curious about shoot me an email.


So that brings me to this morning, on Sunday afternoon I found the oomph to go upstairs and I made some thank-you cards which will go live friday for the IC and one more dtgd card because, I had these new things and I knew what I wanted to do. so, it was kind of a relief that the creative thing did not go kaput when the lungs did haha. :) I have not been able to play since then but, I now need a bridal shower card before Friday since the party is Saturday. and I need to steal the time to finish the card. ( I colored the bride a while back its a curvy one from Stamping bella but, now I am second guessing it because, the brides colors for her wedding are grey and yellow and I think I colored the flowers on this bride in reds and purples or something I do not exactly remember. but, I have also decided to just finish what I started and do her wedding card later in her colors. (the over thinking thing wears me out this week in a normal week I take it in stride)

And if your here for your Izzy fix, yes she really has grown that much at just a little over 4 months old now. Grace is not actually winking, I think right before I shot this Izzy was chewing on her ear and she was still in the flinching go away Izzy mode... She actually puts up with quite a lot of that thing and it is usually after dinner at night before she will put her foot down to being chewed on.
That's about it from me, thanks for stopping by.

Thank goodness they were able to deal with the blood clots so successfully Stacy and you are on the mend. I hope you feel well enough to start playing with all that lovely new stash soon and that you manage to get the card made in time for the bridal shower. Woof to Izzy and Grace and Happy WOYWW.

Fingers crossed for the bridal shower card and here's to you feeling better and stronger each day so you can pay with all the new goodies.
So sorry to hear you have been so poorly. Guess it was a frightening time for you all but here's to it all being behind you now and a better future ahead. So scary when you get things affecting your lungs and the word 'blood clot' sends shivers down my spine.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx

Hi Stacy. Goodness - what an adventure you have been having - but not an exciting one1\ I'm glad things have turned around and you are beginning to feel better each day. Lots of lovely new stash for you to gradually play with as you continue to recover.
Take care of yourself. God bless.

Hi Stacey, sounds like you've been having quite a time you poor thing but at least it sounds as though things are picking up. Hopefully the new stash will make you smile. Wishing you a happy woyww and a lovely creative week, Angela x15x

Blimey Stacey, you have been so unwell. AM glad to read you’re back at home now, but yes, it will take some time to return to the oomph levels you normally exhibit. How horrid for you, frightening even. Unprovoked. There’s a word that you kinda never thought would lead to an ICU event. I hope the sight of the nice delivery waiting for you helped cheer you up. I agree too about the over thinking thing...the strength to do that will come back in its own good time.My advice is expect your full recovery to take twice as long as you think it will. Fatigue is a monster. Don’t make me come over there!!

Hi Stacy, glad you got some treatment and things are going well. I had a chest x-ray last week which showed no large clots, but he thinks there may be tiny ones at the bottom of the problem, so waiting on a specialist scan. Absolutely, any signs that things are not right, I'm straight down to A&E- our version of ER. Slowly improving each day. Loving all the goosdies you bought, some fab stuff I can see. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 X

Stacy i'm so happy to hear that they caught the clots and have been able to help you, you must have been in so much discomfort and pain. Take care of yourself, plenty of rest and do not feel guilty about doing nothing. All that lovely new stash will be waiting for you when the time comes.
Izzy really has grown, don't they both look sweet together.
Wishing you all the best and rest when ever your body tells you Hugs Tracey #14

Good grief Stacy, I am so sorry to hear that you've been so ill - blood clots are incredibly serious, especially when they get to your lungs, so I'm very relieved that the medication and treatment has caught things. You poor thing, that came out of nowhere....as Julia says, recovery often takes twice as long as the pros say, so be kind to yourself and take your time, even though it is frustrating. The new goodies are fab and I know you'll be playing with them very soon.
In answer to your question about poppers, they are plastic press studs that I use for the mini purses I make. I put them on the flap and they pop together. I'll take a pic of them and show you next Wed. Sorry I'm late in replying, it's been madness here....
Sending big healing hugs, lovely gal, get better VERY SOON!!

WoW! So glad you are okay and on the mend! Blood clots are scary things. My Dad has had it happen twice now.
