Gift Ideas #Folksy

I hope you noticed that it said gift ideas and NOT Christmas gift ideas. Although to be fair lot`s of people I know are starting their shopping now. But many of us have lot`s of birthdays, anniversary`s and other special occasions to buy for long before then.
If that is you, then I hope this helps as a time saver for those occasions, not to mention you might find some Christmas gifts too. Nothing better than getting it all sorted, nice and early. I always used to get it done early when my girls were young, having a big family, but then several years ago somehow I was leaving it later and later. Nothing like a last minute panic. Since selling on line though and then blogging, I get to see lot`s of fabulous things and get them quick while I can. So nearer the time I just have to sort through them all, my stash, and select what is for which person. Sorted.
Yesterday was fun.... NOT! I spent three hours at the hospital with hubby for an appointment that lasted about 15 minutes if that. Still on the bright side I did make a good start on a new hood, so it wasn`t really wasted time. When we got back I took some pics for new listings, some turned out okay but a few were rubbish. I`ll have to retake those. Managed to edit a few but not many. It`s ridiculous. I`ve got all this stuff to list and I`m not making headway. Although I did get a couple of new things on Wow Thank You, so that was good.
Anyway, as usual I`m waffling.
As usual, to see a bigger picture or a description, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!
A hospital appointment isn`t fun
would rather have been out in the sun.
First we sat there a while
exchanging with others the odd smile.
off hubby went for a test or two,
was beginning to feel like a zoo.
Room was more crowded by the minute
that space definitely wasn`t infinite.
He came back we sat some more
looking longingly at the door.
An hour had passed, then another one
by this time we wished we were gone.
Had a chat to pass the time,
sat there making up the odd rhyme.
I really crocheted up a storm
sitting this long wasn`t the norm.
Then I began to jiffle, getting stiff
hard chairs, I was getting in a miff.
Got up for a bit and walked around
looked out the window, watched the ground.
Went back feeling better, managed a smile
could have done with walking a mile.
Three hours later we could finally go
if hubby was a horse, I`d have said whoa.
He almost galloped out of there
I was so pleased I didn`t care.
A cup of tea was calling, almost a shout.
We left wondering, what was that all about!!
