Well, here we are again - another Wednesday - another WOYWW - these weeks are simply flying by. It will be Christmas before we know it - hush - we have Halloween before that - but as I don't make Halloween cards to send out it doesn't quite matter as much. I do like a good old Halloween display though.
Not been doing much crafting. I do have a little project on the go but it is like walking in glue with it as I have only been able to do a tiny bit at once, I need to be in my craft room to do it. Not too far off finishing but then it is only a tiny project. Can't show you as yet, it wouldn't be worth it for what little there is of it so you will just have to wait.
I can, however show you two cards that I missed putting on here when I first did them, waiting for the recipients to get them. Both were for "Mingle challenges" on one of my favourite internet groups. The first one was to make something that was black and white with a hint of colour. For this I chose to use white embossing powder on a black background.
The words are a bit squiffy aren't they, they were done in black with clear embossing powder over the top and the touch of colour was on the stems of the stylised flowers - you can just about see the pale green.
My second card was another of my Laurel Burch purchases. Bought to make a card for my 'horse mad' little friend who has a birthday coming up. Hope she likes it as she is only 12 and may not understand Spirit Horses and why I have coloured them as I have. Anyway, the one I am showing you today was for a "Rainbow" swap and I coloured the horses in various shades of the colours of the rainbow.
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - gives you the colours of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. That's how I remember them.
So that is it for this week, no desk as such hope I am forgiven, but here is a
health update:
health update:
Last week I told you I had a window of 'no pain' on the Monday. Well, it happened again on Saturday and I had a good day with less tablets than usual, same on Sunday so I was getting quite hopeful. But then on Monday it started off well but soon the pain was back. Tuesday not good either but it is back to the chiropractor on Friday and then on Tuesday next I will be having my first session with Pain Management. No doubt I will report honestly on the latter. See you next week!

The horse card is beautiful Neet your little friend is bound to love it. Hope your week goes relatively pain free. I’m having a painful few days in Blackpool listening to country music haha

How wonderful to know your pain is lessening, albeit in short bursts as yet!
Love your cards Neet, especially the black and white one - that is so elegant.

I'm glad you had some days pain free and pray that the good days will out number the bad days as things progress. Hopefully between the chiropractor and pain management life will get a bit easier. Love the gorgeous cards, especially the rainbow horses. That is how I remember the order of the rainbow colours as well! Hope you have a good week. With love & God Bless. Caro xxx (#10)

Wonderful to have good days, dear, dear Neet, much may it continue to improve in number and give positive lasting relief.
Couple of nice cards in unusual but lovely colour choices, well done, dear sis.
Praying for wisdom for visit on Friday, sending many prayer hugs for God’s blessing and keeping on you in all things.
Happy WOYWW. Thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x #15

Good luck with the pain management coming up. Love the cards. P xx
So sorry you are in such pain :-( hopefully Pain Management will help. I love your horses card, and I'm sure the birthday girl will too! Have a great week, Lindart #21
The rainbow horses are lovely - I love anything in rainbow effect! Hope you are soon pain free again. xx Jo
Paint management is horrible. I hope you start to manage it better as time goes by. I love the cards you shared and I'm sure your 12 yr old friend will love the horse card! Dorlene #22
What gorgeous cards, Neet, especially the Laurel Burch design. I know her cats very well but didn't know she'd done horses too. I love the shapes of their heads - a stunning design and brilliant to be coloured as a rainbow! Looking forward to seeing your "tiny" project too. I'm very glad to hear you have had some better days pain-wise - it's certainly progress in the right direction and I hope they will eventually come to outnumber the bad days, and eventually leave you completely pain free! I hope the chiropracter and pain clinic appointments go really well for you. I am thinking of you.
Thank you for your lovely comment, and for your good wishes for my PIP outcome. Everything does take time, but my goodness with time flying the way it is, I shall probably be hearing sooner than I realise!
Glad you liked the kitty pic this week. They are so funny when they watch TV! Lily really likes watching nature programmes especially when you get lions etc. eating other creatures! Bloodthirsty little thing that she is... Ruby prefers Star Trek.
I am not actually making a dress with my teabags although I've probably got enough for a whole wardrobe! I have seen dresses made of them online and they were brilliant, but not sure how well they would stand up to wearing and washing unless they were backed with something. I'll try not to keep you in suspense for too long!
Happy WOYWW,

Talk about a contrast - b&w all the way to rainbow. I love the white embossing, and definitely words to embrace on that one. The rainbow horses are spectacular.
Good to know there have been other pain-free times, and I have my fingers firmly crossed that they'll come to outnumber the bad days, one way or another.
