She had her op as planned yesterday morning and although they won't know exactly what they have done until the Dr's round this morning she was on the right side of it all. She was in quite a bit of pain though last night so I'm really hoping they get that under control for her. At least now she has got rid of Tommy [the name she gave to her lung tumour] and now every day she should feel a little better. They have told her to expect to be in hospital for about a week. I'm sure we are all sending her lots of really positive vibes and lots of love.
Now for those who join Julia our Queen of snoop for the what's on your work desk Wednesday this is my space today.
I'm pleased to say this is my done rail. When I started my day yesterday I had 20 hangers on my to do rail ...should have been 21 but Twiglet had put two items on one hanger and yes she was given a written warning for such an over sight :-) :-)
I had a really good 'catch up Tuesday' and as you can see I have now reduced my to do rail to .......

.....just 4 hangers, but I'm afraid to say these are pretty tricky jobs on this rail so will take me the best part of today....especially as Twiglet has just text to say she is coming down this morning to cut some curtains for me...she really doesn't like to think of me taking time out to chill :-)
Seriously for those that don't know what a fab relationship I have with my big sister Twiglet she is one in a million and does her best to do the curtain cutting for me so I'm not kept waiting for her to do it [I have a replacement knee and can't kneel on the floor to cut out curtains]. We make just the best of teams.

Our fun day Monday was just that....fun. We laughed, drank tea and coffee, ate chocolate [an essential on a Monday] and we created. Thought I'd snap a bit of the creating to share with you all...
The friend that joins Twiglet and I was making the most gorgeous Faberge inspired eggs to put on Easter cards. She has dumfed wools and treads on felt and is now embellishing them with beads, gems etc.
(Twiglet sat here wetting herself - I meant dumfed wools and threads! - lol the thought of T. treading felt - like you would grapes has got us both howling - we are easily amused!)

Twiglet is using dissolving plastic and mounting wools, threads and pretty bits between two layers before fixing them there with machine stitching. I just love the colours she is using and am certain she will be blogging it all at some point....well, I hope she does :-)
This is a little Wedding inspired dumfling that I've been playing with. I've yet to stitch on the beads. Not sure how I will use this yet but may use one of the suggestions we have had in our Wedding challenge over in the blog shop.
Lastly but by no means least....This is a little treasure I found enjoying the sunshine on Sunday. I didn't see one ladybird in our garden all last year so was really thrilled to spot this one and thought I would share it with you all. :-)
Don't forget to pop over to the blog shop to check out the Bridal/Wedding blog challenge and be in with the chance to win.

No time to catch your breath Wipso! I envy your geographic closeness to your sweet Sissy; it sure would work for me to live close to mine!
Thanks for the Paula update too, am thinking of her. Hard.
Great post Wipso. First of all thanks so much for the update on Paula, we were emailing on Saturday and I was thinking about her and wondering how she was doing. Love how much fun you and Twiglet have together, have to admit that I'm a little envious of your relationship!!

Wow you have been busy! Your cutting of curtains on the floor made me smile, it took me back to my own sewing days. Good news about Paula, thanks for keeping us up to date. ikki x
You're not going to have much time to go visiting with that lot!! Love the dumfing, especially the idea of treading felt..
It really does look like you had fun on Monday Annie, and a very productive day by all accounts.
I put a little house up for the Ladybirds last year and didn’t see any at all but there’s already been quite a few in the garden this year so hopefully they’ll take up residence.
