Straight into a major moan here :-) You may remember that I was going to have Carpal Tunnel op on my right hand. I indeed had the op a couple of weeks ago now and I had totally underestimated how difficult life was going to be. What a miserable couple of weeks it's been...not being able to use my hand has given me a whole new perspective of just how life must be for many people. I am indeed very fortunate to have been able to have this operation and hopefully the numbness and pain will cease and I can get on with some stitching. Anyhoo, moving swiftly on. I have some great news for anyone who is a fan of robryan and live fairly near to Stafford, UK. The shirehallgallery have organised a Rob Ryan one man show over Christmas period. (You may have visited his shop in Columbia Road, London ryantown ....wonderful) Well, he will be showcasing large scale papercuts and a new range of ceramics reflecting the history of the pottery history/industry of Staffordshire.
.
I will have some of my purses for sale there too in the Christmas Craft Show, so I am looking forward very much to the Exhibition 13th November - 9th January.Finally, because it's Halloween, I thought you may enjoy seeing Billy Button Nose and I enjoying a little sing song together, or should I say a good old HOWL!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments of friendship and support. Welcome to new Followers too!

Oh that's my sort of yappy dog! when I named my blog, I had a little chap like Billy Button Nose in mind - don't suppose he has a brother in need of a home?
ReplyDeletep.s. wishing you a quick recovery xxx
ReplyDeleteget better soon from us up north!!
ReplyDeleteOh I do so hope your op will help you to recover whatever you could not do before you had it - if you see what I mean (I've not been following blogs recently). I am sure you will cope and devise ways of coping, because - as my mother so often said to me - "there's no such word as can't'. All the best.
ReplyDeleteGoodmorning..I hope that each day you waken your hand will be a little better and gradually you will be back at your best, the good thing(always look on the bright side lol) is that it is prob a great time for you to be thinking about what you will make once you are back at it.Little Mr Buttonnose is just gorgeous.Have a lovely day and feel blessed as we all think of you and pray for a quick healing process.

ReplyDeleteHi I am Caroline. I am one of your new readers. I have got Carpel Tunnel syndrome in my left hand and I have to wear a wrist splint. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to do anything you used to be able to do. It is like learning to walk again.
ReplyDeleteP.S I love Billy Button Nose. He is so cute.
Oh Viv, that is hysterical,
ReplyDeleteGo billy!
Just typing that paragraph shows some improvement, right? Must have taken ages, but appreciate the update so much.
Maybe by Christmas you can carve the turkey.....
