BLESSED SPEEDY

Well regularly programming is being interuppted - I have covid and feel very unwell We came home from our weekend away in melbourne and one of our co workers had tested postiive to covid. All well and good and we worked out a work around with that. I said to Gary we best test just in case - and he tested positive and I was ok You have to laugh dont you as our coworkers were heading on holidays to New Zealand on Thursday for 6 days I did my best to isolate from Gary - sleeping in the spare room etc but Friday started to feel very ordinary but still testing negative. Saturday morning tested positive and to be honest it was a bit of a relief as I was feeling so very unwell and couldnt put it all down to hay fever! So with our coworkers away we are doing the best we can and yes Ive been reading and doing a bit of crafting but dont really have the brain capacity to do a proper post about it all this week Look out next week thought - it will be huge (I hope!!!) Til next week stay safe and ...

Well its been birthday week! And for once nothing nasty happened to me - this time last year (when I should have been having an awesome 60th birthay party) we were flooded so everything was cancelled. And the year before Aimee and Matt took Gary and I canoeing on the Pyramid Creek and I managed to fall out and knock out some of my front teeth. We had planned to have a 60 plus 1 party this year but Garys sister Diane planned a 60th birthday for herself in Melbourne so we had to cancel mine. Maybe a party next year as Ill be 62 and born in 62????? I spent a nice day in Bendigo with my family which was lovely! And brought KFC home for tea so super fancy HA HA As for the finishes this week theres only the one craft wise and thats a cute outfit for Baby Sterling from lovely cotton yarn and I made a bigger size (3 months) so hopefully he will get some wear out of it I finished one book and it was book two of The Bridge Kingdom series - The Traitor Queen by Danielle Jensen. Im loving th...

Well what a busy week Ive had. Due to not being able to do much around the farm Ive been indoors a lot. Ive got lots of farm paperwork and computer stuff done which is a good and Ive been doing half a day on that and half a day on Syvlia the sewing machine. I firstly finished this quilt (only the quilting and binding needed to be done) its a Jinny Beyer pattern using all her fabrics. Im going to take it into mum for her to have on her bed in the Village for a while. Secondly I finished a quilt made all from my scrap basket. Also left over binding pieces, half used up bobbins and threads too so a real leftover buster! I think it turned out really well and in effect its a "free" quilt and amazingly my scrap basket is considerably smaller (which never happens!)From this - To this! And thirdly I finished a crochet blanket for the Sterling baby due in February - this one I started years ago so it was good to get another UFO (unfinished object) finished! Pretty successful we...

Exciting news! A miracle happened and I got a cancellation appointment to have nerve root injection in my sciatic nerve. I was booked to have it done on the 26th of October which at the time of booking was an 8 week wait - thankfully its now done after waiting 4 weeks. And boy did it hurt! My recover time apparently will be slow - and its been difficult finding places to sit without pain but its starting to improve a bit finally. I have to "take it easy" for 3 week and then will start rehab to build up the supporting muscles which will hopefully help withe issues I have - although I do have arthritis in my spine so I suppose thats not going away any time soon but Ill do the best I can! So Ive been busy this week relaxing LOL Ive decided to challenge myself I want to see what I can make up from my quilting fabic scrap bucket - theres a fair bit in it thats for sure. I started by taking out the pieces that are quite large and "filed" them in the drawers of fabri...
