Roses & adventures
Finally things have started to feel normal again after Christmas. Due to our nasty bout of flu i felt awful for weeks then just drained and totally unmotivated. Chloe's appointments started again last week and i think having to organise for those meant i started to feel normal again. The best of them being collecting her new leg splints which are absolutely fantabulous!!!!
She's not too happy about walking in them yet but that should be ok in a week or so. These ones have little heels to help position her knees forward and stop her locking them.
We're still waiting to hear when her operation will be in February on her heart, Great Ormond Street seem to be taking foooorrrrrevvvver.
And i have been making Roses, it being Valentines soon. I am not a Valentines fan really, especially being single, but thought i would indulge and make some girly loveliness in honor of the day.
So there we are some generally lovely things to brighten up our January! :)

Lurgy in the Roses bushes
Well its been some time since my last post because we've had lurgy here at the Roses HQ all over Christmas and New Year and to be honest it rather knocked the stuffing out of me. So theres been very little in the way of, well, anything really while i try and find some energy to get going again.
Some Valentines stuff is on the way and maybe some lovely owls and cats too. We'll see how that energy comes!!
Happy New year everyone.

Folksy Friday: Paper crafts
I don't know about anyone else but this year i am skint. Christmas has been planned and budgeted carefully and all the presents made to save money, the one thing i do have is time at home so making made sense. When it came to decoration i wanted something new but on a budget. The old red and gold did not go with my new fresh pinks and greens colour scheme in the living room so some new stuff was required (see prev posts!) In addition to some baubles etc etc i found a link to this paper snowflake tutorial on the folksy forum and had a go
Rather good i thought!! (sorry hall gets no natural light!!)
I thought i would have a look at what sort of paper offerings there are in lovely Folksy land.
1. Suncatcher batik Paper from The Old Forge Art Studio
I love this, really different, really good for a fun bright tear round garden, kids would love um too.
2. Vintage French Novel Paper Baubles from Maisy and Alice Handmade Delights
These are lovely, you can pop them anywhere and all year not just for Christmas trees you know!!
3. Map Bead Cuff Bracelet from Jayfa Jewellery
Eco friendly statement jewellery, what more could you want!!?!!
4. Japanese Chiyogami Paper Pendant from Picture Pendants
Lovely bright summery pendant
5. Paper Bird - Bluetit from Rae Welch
Amazing, such and lovely ornament, great gift for a bird lover
6. Paper Pendant from My Lurvlee
This is stunning! Lovely colour and shape.
7. 12 Handmade Paper Flowers from Sherbet Ice Designs
These are great, so many possibilities! Wedding table, home decor, decorate boxes, notebooks etc the list goes on!!!
8. Silver etched and paper brooch from KRC Designs
This is very clever, layers of paper and an etched silver panel at the front.
9. Jenny the paper monkey from polkadot Sundays
I love Jenny the monkey, she needs to come and live at my house!!
10. Shakespearean paper garland of hearts from bookity
This is great, lovely shabby chic decoration
11. Paper String Large Vase from Macrame Art
Just don't put water in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. Cat Paper Weight from Millicent
To keep those unruly sheets in place who better than Cat to watch over them. ♥
So that's your lot today, hopefully there's something you like or some inspiration to get folding, cutting and sticking!! :D

Folksy Friday: Wall Art
Following a chat with my mum yesterday where we were discussing the furnishing of the new extension that seems to have been being built for years (since the summer!) I decided to do a Folksy Friday on Wall Art. She needs something for the bedroom that nearly finished but has no idea what and obviously I poked her in the direction of Folksy. She’s going to wait till after Christmas though so don’t get too excited!!
It made me think about the whole reason I started selling on Folksy in the first place. I made some Flower vines for Chloe’s play room/ the hall of our flat when we moved in March and when I posted some pictures on facebook everyone went mad for them and said I should try selling them so here I am, selling away. Strangely, despite nearly 300 views and 3 favourites I am yet to sell a set of vines and the accessories etc have been selling instead but there we are!
So I thought I would take a look at the sort of wall art available on out lovely Folksy home. Here’s a selection of various mediums and styles from my favourites. Enjoy.
1. Damask Design is all over an apple from Idiera Albert
2. Indigo Tree Art Print from Sascalia
3. 8x10 Mounted Print - Butterflys from Lily Greenwood.com
4. Hand Cut Paper 3D Butterfly Art from Cotton Butterfly
5. 'little birdy' Wall Art from littlebirdy designs
6. The Life You Imagined Wall Art from Art by Hels Sheridan
7. Knitted Wall Art - Pink Flowers from Rhea Clements
8. Hummingbird in Flight from Tigerlily Creations

Sleepy Roses (sorry lots of reading here!!)
This time of year is really bad for making you sleepy. Central heating, less daylight hours and less daylight in those hours, its little wonder that half of us get a bit Seasonally Defective and Disorderly really is it!!??!!
We try to stay on top of it here at Rags HQ because it used to get me something rotten when i worked in the city. Inside all day bar half an hour at lunch and even that wasn't the full half hour, who wants to eat lunch sat looking at the traffic on Cheapside or Cannon Street!!! So we make sure we go out everyday for a while but there's not so much to do outside in the cold when your trying to keep small rose buds warm in their pushchairs and you live in a very small place.
Chloe's not been well on and off for the last week or so and that means not sleeping properly. Its always the first thing to be affected when shes coming down with something because its always been her weak point. Shes now taking a sleep hormone called Melatonin which is helping when shes well but when shes poorly I'm right back to being up half the night with her. 2 and a half years of broken sleep is hard!
Chloe doing the clever walking with her current walker, 'chooo chooo'
Its helping though, the sleep, when shes well, shes doing very well in generally. Her walkings coming on nicely and her physio wants to try her with a walking frame that she pulls rather than pushes to give her more stability in her legs. Shes doing very well with it in her sessions so hopefully we can have one at home soon.
She will be getting her new splints for her legs next year too. She was prescribed extra calorie drinks in the summer to get some meat on her bones so they can start thinking about surgery on her heart again. She had not put any weight on for nearly a year at that point and looked like she was just stretching as she got taller, very strange! Its helped loads and she'd put on nearly 2 kg in 10 weeks that last time she saw the dietitian in the Autumn so the Cardiologists should be happier this time when we see them on the 15th. It did mean she suddenly had a growth spurt though, all those extra calories, and in 5 weeks she had out grown her leg splints so we had to make do with a sturdy pair of Clark's Boots and some insoles which support her arches while we waited for an appointment.
New Boots!!
Well not so new now but that's what we call them still!!
That was in September. Our appointment (the earliest they could do) is the 4th of January!!!!! I think the NHS does a fabulous job and it is really stretched with the resources it has. This is clearly not enough and they go and make more cuts!!!!
Anyway splints, they will help, her legs are so much more stable when she wears them her little ankles don't roll and she has more confidence to walk and move so hopefully they will fit them when we go and we might get them by March :|
Her last ones were leopard print!!!!
We're hopefully seeing the speech and language therapist again next year too so we can start building up Chloe's understanding to using PECS, Picture Exchange Communication System. Basically Chloe will use pictures to show us what she wants. This would make a world of difference as her communication is limited at the moment. Although i and others that spend alot of time with her know what she wants she would struggle to show someone new, teachers, TA's etc and given that she can start at the pre school at Highfields in September, statement allowing, i would like to start as soon as possible.
One major stumbling block though, Chloe does not point to things when we are practicing identifying pictures, she kisses them! My daughter, gotta love her!!
