BROWN & SICK RILEY

POOR LITTLE RILEY
We thought Riley was doing better and on her way to work on Monday Amy took him to creche . By lunch time he wasn't feeling too happy so I had to go pick him up. Tuesday 5.30pm he had a check up at the Doctor who immediately sent him to hospital as he was having difficulty with his breathing. Thankfully he is now doing a bit better but is using ventolin a few times a day. Still not 100% and a bit difficult to babysit but he can't help it if he feels unwell.
BROWN
This week for Shades of Inspiration the colour is brown.
With all my babysitting I haven't had a chance to look for too much brown.


I love the texture of the brown leather on my sofa. It reminds me a bit of an elephant's skin.
Some brown on my shells
Sorry for the not so great photos but these last 2 were taken early this morning

This wooden container holds a rose carved from soap.

Daniel brought this home from Thailand.


Hope everyone has a great weekend

Get well very soon, little Riley!

Alison, I really like your blog design and especially your pretty banner at the top! How did you make it? I would love to give a "personal touch" to my blog, too but unfortunately, I have not clue on how to create such a picture.

By the way, I am quite impressed by the number of wonderful swaps you participated and are participating in! ;-))

Best wishes from Germany, Anita

P.S.: If you have time, you are more than welcome to pass by my blog! I am hosting a little give away these days and you may still enter your name on my drawing list!

OOOh I am so sorry that you and your grandson have been under the weather. It was so good to hear from you today. The item is a toaster for bread and that guess by Sherrie was right and she won the contest. Boy that was a very short contest. I wish you health and wealth.
