A Busy time…
Well don’t fall off your rockers folks here I am
blogging again for the first time in 2 months. Life has been indeed busy and I
have had a lot of sickness to contend with hence my absence from my blog.
Now I don’t promise this is going to be any great
read, but I do promise it will be a bit of a catch up on the last 2 months.
Sickness and Battles…
After the great start to my elimination diet it all
had to go by the wayside due to having to have tests that required me to go
back on a “regular” diet. Not long after that I ended up in surgery so I have
spent a while recovering from that and trying to find out the cause of certain
illness.
No great shock it is age related (pooh) and I have
to investigate a path of treatment that suits me, I would much rather that then
just blindly follow what the GP says is OK…says HE a male Doctor who does not
have to suffer what we women must go through at a certain time of life.
We had a new fence erected and the gardens were "simplified" here are some before and after shots of the work...can you see a difference?

Happier Times…
Well after not doing much sewing at all this year I
finally got my house blocks done for the house block swap I have been doing
with our online CRAFT group.
I thought I was going to die before I could get them
done, but Praise God they are done and handed in. now just waiting on the
others to come back to me and then onwards with putting it all together.
I tidied my sewing room and actually got a top
finished for my DD who has been waiting for 7 months for me to put together
something with the fabrics I bought for her at the craft fair in October last
year. I bought the Ghastlies
fabric and managed to get some yardage for the backing from the States. I just
have to sandwich it together quilt it and bind it and she will be happier.
I seem to have lost my Mojo again, I am just tired
all the time and not really motivated to get into the sewing room. That will
change I have no doubt….
I Recently found an old Genoa Lounge in an op shop
and was so happy when I got to bring it home and call it mine. Hubby and I have
longed for one of these little beauties most of our married life and yippee we
got one…it is not too shabby and will be re-covered in the next year. So now my
love for all things 1930-1940’s comes back to life.
Maybe I just yearn for the simpler life of 1940”s
yes we were a world at war but the amazing people and the things they did to “make
do” is really inspiring…
Alright this is becoming a novel and I need to rest…so
Hopefully in the near future you will see some more posts about the sewing I am
doing (hoping) and even the decorating I am doing in the lounge to match a 1940’s
style.
Happy stitching
Amanda
