The reason I didn't want to join in today was because I have three swaps going at the moment. They are all due this weekend or sooner. The one in front is nearly ready. All I need is to make a tag. Sorry, can't show anything until my swap partner receives it. On the right is my Teal Dreams cover that I'm still working on. I plan to finish the book on Thursday and have it in the mail on Friday.
In the back, near the horse,
are some confetti pieces I need for the swap that will be due the 20th, which is Saturday. With any luck, I'll have my part finished before then, and since I'm the host, will have it out the door by Monday morning. So, you can see, I have a busy week.For those of you new to my blog, I feature one or more of my approximately 450 rocking horses each week on Wednesday. I haven't done a very good job of hiding them lately.
Also, my poor Bleubeard is having trouble keeping food down. He normally has a full bowl of food, but the vet wants him to have only 1/2 cup of food three times a day. You can see the bowl looks pretty empty this way. This is only his second feeding of this food.
I guess I'll know in the next hour or so if it is going to stay down. He sure likes this new food, though, as well he should for the price I'm paying!I didn't think I was going to play this week, so didn't notify Kirsty she is my pick of the day until just a few minutes ago. I learned a lot about Kirsty this week, while visiting her blog. Although she is a WOYWWer, I managed to visit on a day when she told her life in an alphabetic page layout. Her wit and humor show in every post, whether intentional or not. Kirsty, like many WOYWWers, lives in the UK and is an ESOL teacher when she's not playing mom, scrapbooking, or making jewelry. Hope you will stop by and see her at Handmade by Kirsty today.

Aaaaw, so glad you managed to find the time to WOYWW and give us pics of the lovely Bleubeard! I really hope the new food agrees with him (even if it is pricey) and it stays down.
You really do have a lot on your plate at the moment - when do you actually relax???
ahhhhh I hope the darling kitty gets better soon.

Am so worried about Bleubeard - just hope he kept this food down and that he begins to improve. he is your baby and it must be a worrying time for you.
Thanks for the rocking horse shot - love seeing all you have. Good luck with your swaps - know the feeling.
Take care of you and Bleubeard. ~69 (a cat lover)
Best wishes to bluebeard, hope he recovers soon. You sound very busy at the moment, have a good week xx

Poor Bleubeard- hope he feels better soon! And you with your busy, ole self, take care of yourself while enjoying having so many projects in the works!
Busy Lady Elizabeth! Always fun seeing your horses and hope you get some cuddle time with Bleu:)
Glad you joined in - that little horse is lovely - don't work too hard tho!!
Pleased you managed to post despite being so busy. It's appreciated by so many you can see! Have been thinking of Bleubeard and hope he is improving as it must be such a worry.
If you find time to visit my blog, take a look at the post before WOYWW. I think you might like to see them and look out for me as a Victorian kitchen maid too.
Take care,
JoZarty x
Give my best to Bleubeard! I hope he is as good as new soon.
Good luck with all your projects. What fun!
I'm so sorry to hear that Bluebeard isn't well! I hope it isn't anything serious! Please let me know how he fares as I wouldn't want anything to happen to him!
I love this week's rocking horse!
I hope you are doing well on your swaps. I almost didn't make it either - I have been so exhausted this week. Hope you are recovered from your back injury. Mine has gotten worse (from the fall!) so I finally made it into the chiro today. He could not believe what a mess it was! I have an appt with him on Thurs as well!
Have a great week - take care of yourself!

Thanks that you find time to visit my blog!I appreciate it.
Like your cat and this sweet horse on your desk.
And don't worry, you're not the only one with time managing problems :-)
Love your rocking horse! Hope Bleubeard is doing better - what a gorgeous kitty!
Oh yet another lovely rocking chair - I can never get enough of them! Sorry Bluebird is not feeling well - I hope his new food will help!
Hugs,
Cardarian
Glad you had chance to play - love the rocking horse - hope bluebeard is feeling right soon.
Fab rocking horse, and I hope Bleubeard is feeling better soon.
Cathy xx
I love that little card on the table with the clothes on the line.
Hoping Bleubeard is on the mend.
Ick. I hate when cats are sick. At least their throw ups smell just like their food... could be worse.
The swap from hell will end.
Prolly.

Elizabeth, I'm so sorry Bleubeard is still sick! I hope the new designer food does the trick.
Cindy :)
I'm glad you DID join in Elizabeth, and thanks for coming to visit me yesterday, always appreciated.
Hope you manage to get all your various tasks done on time.
I know what it's like to have sick pet, hope Bleubeard gets better very soon xx

I really hope your cat gets well - such a concern isnt it?
Hope you get all your projects done and please give Bluebeard a big get well soon hug off me.
Have a fab week...A.xx(2)
I hope that Bleubeard will feel better really soon. He's so cute... I also love the rocking horse on wheels!
Blessings to Bluebeard, may he have a speedy recovery. As always, your rocking horses are awesome! Happy WOYWW!
I hope he gets better soon Elizabeth...
Hope Bleubeard feels better soon, nothing worse than being hungry but not being able to keep it down - the poor thing.
The swaps all look very interesting.
Sorry Bleubeard isn't feeling well, Elizabeth, hope he's better soon.
I love that beautiful vintage rocking horse, it's only going to take you about 8 years to feature them all at this rate!!
Julie
Hope Bluebeard gets better soon!!
Thanks for thinking so much of us that you gave us a peek even when your life is uber busy. *smile*. I think I figured out if I stay up late on Tuesday nights, I can post before the list gets too long (little things make me happy...Lol) Look like fun swaps. Healing hugs to Bleubeard...

I am keeping my fingers crossed for Bleubeard.XXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks for another good link. Just thinking about being as busy as your are makes me dizzy.
Hope Bleubeard is getting better with the aid of his new food.

So glad you posted this week because I really look forward to spotting your rocking horse(s) each week now - you've got me hooked. Hope your cat's tummy settles down with this new food. Elizabeth #113
Love your horse, hope Bluebeard is better soon. S #16
sounds like you are busy at the moment, thanks for the peek
hugs
So glad you joined us all this week, hope Bluebeard is feeling better very soon.
I'm also less inclined to show ATCs for swaps. Today I just gave a tiny little sneak peek. I hope you're not having troubles commenting on my blog, if so, please let me know if I can do something to make it easier. Happy WOYWW! #143
How come a catchy Beatles song's playing through my head since I visited your blog, I wonder?
Happy WOYWW! #143
Oops, sorry for spamming you, the previous comments was destined to another blog. Sorry!
ooohhhh, love that rocking horse! And sorry to hear kitteh isn't feeling well. No fun when our fur-babies aren't doing so good. Hope he is feeling better soon.
Oh I hope the patient is feeling better. I'm anxiously awaiting my swap package as well. Not stalking the mailman yet...but by the end of the week I may be.
Hope Bluebeard is managing to keep his short rations down. Iv'e just had to put my 3 on biscuits only until a tummy bug they all went down with cleared up. It's the stares of distain that I find the hardest to deal with.
looks like some craftiness going on there! poor bluebeard,, hope he feels better soon!
sending healing get well wishes to your sweet Bleubeard!
really fun seeing your rocking horses...they rock!
sorry bout that heehee!
oxo
Feel better bluebird!!! Tammy
Sounds like you are busy with lots going on. I do hope Bleubeard is okay- maybe he needs a little rest too! Love your rockinghorses!
well, you certainly are busy this week! but everyone would be looking for you if you didn't join in so i'm glad you were able to join. so sorry to hear Bleubeard is not well. I hope his new diet agrees with him.
i'm off to Kirsty's blog now.
happy WOYWW from #20 this week
beautiful horse.
I do hope Bleubeard feels better soon, it's horrid having a poorly pet. Especially when they look at you in a 'why do I feel like this?' sort of way :-(

Ooh you're up against it - and becasue you chose to do the honourable thing and cover for flaky swapees - don't let it cause you stress tho'. Like how you used the dyed fabric as a book cover, how clever. Wishing Bleubeard a get well soon, then you'll both feel better, huh.
Love the little horse.
Hope Bleubeard is feeling better today. Poor little sweetie. Yes, the price of these dried foods is alarming, but they do seem to go a long way so not as expensive as we think.
Marilyn
I hope he is ok! At least he is eating, which I think is a good sign!
I did not get to play along this week, but stopped in to see how Bluebeard was feeling and check out your rocking horse! Hope you are well!
Glad you were able to make time to join in! Poor Bluebeard, hope he feels better soon, although I have to say, we humans eat a few smaller meals through the day, so perhaps it will be better for him too?
Hugs

How cute is that horse...hope the cat is better soon...xxx

Sorry I am so late this week. Hope Bleubeard is feeling better. Susan xxox #17
Arh bless you, the only standard is the one you set yourself you know. Hope life gets a bit easier soon and Bleubeard is on the mend. Looking forward to seeing the results of your swaps. I've just started looking at bookmaking and binding. I have a strong feeling that is going to be my next strong interest........... At Julia's request I have put together a tutorial for sometime later this week, fingers crossed it will be well received :)
