I’m most definitely not psychic…or just a little too much all at once.
This is probably the week when it all falls apart.
It’s my busiest week of the year workwise (although that’s always a bit of a moving feast and difficult to predict). Critical deadlines for two of my biggest clients have come together. Everyone is running late…except as the editor/proofreader I don’t get to do late…I have to eat up all the late for everyone else. Which is why my days this week are going to have 48 hours don’t you know.
My son is being confirmed on Sunday with all the hoopla that goes with that.
And now my husband has fallen off his motorbike and broken his collarbone and will be operated on tomorrow and may or may not be out by Sunday….
Ah well, everything seems to be out of my hands and as a motorbike hater I’m actually pretty relieved that this little adventure didn’t turn out to be a whole lot worse.
On top of which…I picked Sunday for my day for the Travelling Pic Stitch Blog Hop…why oh why…?
During my coffee break this morning I did a mini picture audition for my palette (isn’t Palette Builder from Playcraft just SO clever!):
What do you think? Should I choose this….(the early morning sunrise from my window)
or this….(paradise, where I was last week!)
Let me know!

Oh, Helen, that is an awful lot to have on your plate! If I lived closer to you, I would gladly come over to help. Thank God that your husband got away with ‘only’ a broken collarbone (I don’t like motorbikes either, just too dangerous).
As for your pictures, both are beau-ti-ful (said in a Craig Revel Horwood-voice (-;). I think the colour palette of the first picture speaks more to me, though.

As they say “it never rains but it pours”. Hope everything comes out all right for all concerned. Congratulations to son on his confirmation – get the girls to help out with the hoopla – and a speedy recovery to your husband.
I too like the sunrise palette.

Oh no, it never rains but it pours. Your poor hubby. I hope he’ll make a speedy recovery. Been plenty going on here too… oh well, at least we never get bored do we!

Oh dear….may your husband have a speedy recovery, may the Lord bless your son as he is confirmed, may your days be stretched, and may you have strength and calm and efficiency for all that’s on your list, Helen.
I like the top one best, but they’re both beautiful.
Hugs…

Sending lots of good wishes for a relief from the busyness of this week and a successful surgery for your husband. Congratulations to your son on his confirmation. You can celebrate when this week is over!
Because it’s fall, I really like the top photo best for it’s color palette, but I want to go to the bottom photo for R&R.

Oh Helen , did you run over the vicar’s cat or something? I hate motorbikes, and like you say, thank heaven it wasn’t worse. Will this make him give up? Let’s just hope Wild Child behaves!
I like the top slightly better, but only slightly.

Paradise – you can think of it while you stitch and maybe happy thoughts will get you through this week. Best of luck and hope your husband is okay.

I can’t stand motorbikes either! They are just so dangerous, even if the rider is experienced. I am hoping that my husband’s mid-life crisis manifests itself some other way. His brother bought one a couple of years ago so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn’t give him ideas.
Sorry to be no use at all, but I like both of your colour palletes. I really love the deep purple in the top one but then again I am guessing the bottom one has more meaning to you. So … er… both?!

Oh NO!!!!!

I think go with Paradise: it will remind you of better times. Sorry its all piling on top of you at the moment, and to hear of your husbands accident.
October 24th, 2012 at 9:59 pm
I’m so glad that your husband’s accident wasn’t any worse than it is. All the best to your son on Sunday and to you, of course, during those 48 hour days.
I would go with Paradise simply because I like the cooler palette.

You are taking the saying “when it rains, it pours” to a whole new level. But as you said, it could have been so much worst. This too will pass ;)!
