Good afternoon, I am sat here with a cup of coffee and thought I would take five minutes out to have a chat...
It was Clarity Cumbria yesterday and I have to say a big thank you to the wonderful ladies and gentleman for their company....you see I neatly didn't get to the class and only had a couple of hours sleep the night before .
Adam had a car accident and ended up in hospital, plus my car has been written off. A driver approaching the crossroads didn't see give way signs and crashed into the drivers side of my car , sending it straight into a lamppost , so that crunched the passengers side, then it spun and ended up on a pavement...thank goodness that my car had side airbags, when I spoke to the paramedic on the phone he said that they had saved Adam. My clever little car also phoned the emergency service....I am also very grateful to the other driver who didn't drive off as often is the case, he ran over to try and get Adam out of the car and waited with him...The police and paramedics were so good and bless Danielle who got to him and stayed with him...
Adam is home but has hurt his neck and stomach, you know I remember when I was little and we didn't even wear seat belts...oh my....so glad that we all do now...
So yesterday I had to drive Karls car up to Cumbria, now those of you who know me well, know that I'm not keen on driving....
I don't normally drive Karls car, so it was all strange...and yes, the weather was horrible...I set off at 6-45am , it was cold, dark and very wet....
I didn't know how to change the radio and obviously I was concentrating on driving so I had to listen to ' talk sport ' all the way to Lindale.... oh you have to laugh....don't you...
And yes...I know now....fingers crossed I will get the courtesy car in a couple of days.
I am just so grateful that Adam is ok, it could have been so much worse, and you know when you get a phone call saying that your son has been involved in a RTA , your heart really does stop for a second..
Puts things into perspective .....
So I had lots of coffee and cake yesterday...and a rather large glass of Prosecco when I got home ...
Our workshop was based around the Northern Lights paper pack....
First of all we did some die cutting , stamping and paper piecing
Look at these beauties....then we did some distressing and stamping
Followed by some stencil fun
We used one of the corner punches to make a decorative border
Recognise Jo's bubbles stencil in the background...still one of my favourites
I have another busy week ahead, so I had better get on, coffee break over...
Thanks for sharing some time with me....because time spent with friends is very important...
Much love and hugs
Jo. xxxx

What a terrible shock for you Jo. He's a lucky boy, firstly to have you as a mum, and secondly to walk away from his crash. Hope he's soon on the mend, and I'm really thankful that it wasn't worse. Your car can always be replaced, even if it does take a while. Have 2 glasses of prosecco! Hugs, Susan x
