Ladybug Crafts Ink - make your own flowers

I'm here with a quick post this morning as my back trouble is BACK! It started again on Sunday and yesterday I was in loads of pain and throwing up! I ended up in the doctors at 4pm yesterday in a right state. To cut a long story short I have 'disc trouble' which is badly inflamed. So on anti inflammatory tablets, strong pain killers, which make me feel sick, so also taking an anti sickness tablet! I can only sit for short periods, its just gets too unbearable and its not good for the disc either. So I will be popping on and off throughout the day and will try my best to keep up with commenting and visiting you all. I am hoping it will get better soon. I have exercises to do from tea time on as apparently the disc sockets begins to dry up in the evenings and if you don't keep it active it will cause even more damage;( Thankfully walking is pain free and well advised so Squirt will be happy;) Moan over, check out our challenge this week!!

Our challenge this week at Ladybug Crafts Ink is
MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS
chosen by our lovely Guest Designer Amanda!
I had great fun with this one. I got some gorgeous ribbon from Kerry which you can get at LCI and decided to turn it into little flowers. I had some gorgeous white cord fabric button brads which I used for the centres.

Hello Pinky

How very pretty and those flowers are devine.

As I said in my mail eaerlier, it must be a nightmare on the craft side, but you must take care.

And as for the commenting, as I have found recently. It was a really hard decision for me as I said on my post, but you can only do so much and accept your limitations, hard as the reality may be.

Thank you for sharing with us at Allsorts this week adn good luck.
