WOYWW 235

What’s on YOUR workdesk [this] Wednesday? If you want to share it, however tidy or messy it may be, click on the link in my sidebar which will take you to our hostess Julia’s blog, where you can sign in and join the fun.

I’ve had a pretty busy and traumatic week, with Dad being very poorly indeed in hospital, and on Sunday we really thought we would lose him in a day or two, but he has rallied again and is now a lot better. He is still not medically fit for discharge, but my hubby has sorted a nursing home for him to go to because his old residential home is now unable to take him back because of his increasing needs. He has dementia, heart failure, and recently a chest infection, and his speech is incoherent, but he knows us, and lights up when we visit.

This week is a friend’s birthday and until now I have been unable to share what I made for her in case she saw it! My next post will be all about it. Since making her card, I have cleared my desk again and only one background remains on it – watch this space for a post about that, complete with the video I have made.

I have now got my new video camera set up, and a brand new look to my Youtube videos to celebrate my new ARTHaven and a new beginning. I hope you will enjoy these videos, as I should be posting more of them now that it is so much easier to do so.

Here’s the title frame of the video which I spent some time creating this week – you can see that it is based on my blog background, to give continuity across my online presence.

WOYWW 235 Video Title 1

This is the card I made for my friend. It was on my desk until yesterday! Hope that counts for a WOYWW!

This is the video I have done of it:

I hope to be back more regularly with you all on WOYWW from now on, as we are now settled into our new home and I am well on the way to getting my ARTHaven properly organised, but ongoing problems with my very elderly parents have to take priority, of course.

    Sorry to hear about your dad's poor health.Seems such a short time ago, that your parents were both well..The Nursing Home will be better set up to cater to his increasing needs.Must be stressful for you all at the moment!

  3. oooh that card is SO gorgeous, I'm going to make a nice cup of coffee now and watch the vid ...
    I do feel for you with your dad being poorly, it's so hard when your parents become elderly and I think dementia can be very hard to deal with - hope he settles in well at the nursing home. Annie #77 xxx

  5. Your studio is lovely! That is quite the setup. I hope things calm down and wish your dad all the best in his recovery and new home. I am sure he will get the care and attention he will need. My MIL had Parkinsons and so many health issues and she had to relocate to a local one. They were a blessing to her as she got to join in activities as well. Take good care of you too! Winnie#70

  9. It's been a LONG time since I visited and for that I apologize. Life got in the way, as I think you can understand. It was good seeing your card, which is stunning, but couldn't make your video work. I'm sure it MY problem, since I'm having all kinds of blogger problems tonight. Happy WOYWW from #6.
