My Immortal by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When I look back on this week all I think is 'brrrrrr I'm cold' ... we have had builders in the last couple of weeks building the sunroom and they have had the outer door off its hinges every day so they can get the wheel barrow through ... this means a constant draft and there has been mud, a lot of mud .... everywhere!

Complicated by Bon Jovi

Take a look around, this is what I see
Is there anybody else that feels like me?
You sweat, you sweat
You bleed, you bleed
What you get ain't what you see
Up is down and black is white to me

I'm complicated
I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated
Can't sudate it
I heard that song, but i won't play it
It's alright
It's okay
You wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying, cause I ain't changing
I'm complicated

Complicated, Yeah

I'm smart enough to know what I don't know
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go
You work, you work
You cry, you cry
You watch your whole life pass you by
Sometimes you gotta close your eyes to see

Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just want somebody out there just like me

Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just want somebody out there just like me

I love Sah and all the gorgeous goodies that she makes ... We have been online friends for about 18 months now and you really must check out her shop full of handmade goodies made from pre-loved items.

8 words that most describe you?
ditsy, smiley, glittery, caring, geeky, creative, random and awesome! :)

What do you make?
I make jewellery, bags & purses, belts, hair stuff and occasionally plushies

What new craft would you like to try?
Lots! I'd like to learn proper silversmithery (or whatever the right word is!), proper crochet and knitting (I just make it up as I go along right now), screen-printing, weaving, spinning and pottery are just some of them!

If you were a Mr Men / Little Miss character who would you be?
Little Miss Whoops, I think! I'm always knocking things over, tripping up, saying the wrong thing and burning toast

Do you collect anything?
Tea cups, vintage dolls, my little ponies and miniatures

Do you have any scars? how did you get it?
I have a big one on my knee, from when my little sister broke a milk bottle next to my tricycle and I fell on it, she was about 2 or 3 and I was 4 or 5. I got stitches on the cut but I didn't like them and can remember pulling them out. Gross! So now I have this giant scar that looks a bit like a slug hehe.

What do you want more than anything right now?
To buy a house with the boy and be able to decorate and plant some veggies and get a wee doggy. Right now we rent and although our flat is nice, we can't do anything and have no garden which sucks.

What’s your favourite ice-cream flavour?
Mandarina con fresa (mandarin & strawberry) - I just tried it on holiday last week and it was amazing!!!

I hope you have enjoyed some randomness with Sah. Please check out her lovely shop, blog and you can chat to her on twitter @glitterysah and become a fan on facebook!

After all the rain we have had over the last few days it was lovely to see some sunshine today ... although its still very cold. Mum and Dad left early to go to Grans this morning - she phoned last night ... she is not well and wants mum to go early for her visit to look after her ... its very rare that Gran asks for help so she must be feeling really ill :( I hope she feels better soon.

Managed to fill the morning pottering on the computer, doing some listing, playing with graphics, knitting and generally wasting time :D

Had a lovely walk with Dilly in the park ... met lots of other dogs and got very muddy.

Cold weather always makes me feel like knitting so I have really enjoyed making this Winter Berry Scarf ... the wool is a lovely berry colour ....

... it is 2 tone and opens up to make a lovely lacy rippled effect ...

... if I didn't already have a scarf I would be keeping it ... and I am sure I will be making some more!

... so it is for sale in my Folksy Shop ... please take a peek if you are wanting to keep warm this winter!

I love lace and making lace ... have been making bobbin lace for over 20 years (ahhhhh how old am I??.... well I did start when I was about 13) I have taught many people and am thinking of teaching it again ... are you interested? let me know!

So this weeks Folksy Friday Collection is LACE!
