Tah-Dah!

I'm glad to report that Danny got checked out at A&E today and was told he was OK, but to go and get his eyes given the once-over by a good Opthalmologist, and he needs to have a blood test at the GPs for good measure.  He just needs to catch up with his sleep as much as anything. 



Finally finished.  I was past caring that some of the angles on the hexis weren't right - it depended on the stiffness of the cotton, although it was all 100% cotton.  I don't care, as I enjoyed making it, especially the embroidery.


Close up of the finished pocket, with a Measles House as Keith calls it!  I unpicked one of the flowers close to the chicken.  Below, a rather blurry picture of the instructions and finished article, using the 1/2" hexis.


I managed to get out for a 3 mile walk today and enjoyed that, down along by the river, which was racing through as we had a lot of rain overnight.  Photos of that tomorrow.

  1. So pretty. I looked for the mistake but I could not see it. The colors are so lovely.
    A 3 mile walk next to a river sounds just perfect. A wonderful post today.

    cheers, parsnip

  3. So pleased your son is home safe and well and the good news from A and E. Sounds like he just needs some tlc which I am sure you will give him loads of :) Love that bag - you are SO talented!

  4. Thanks all. He's still worried though (because he's still absolutely tired out) and that makes me anxious too. I'll be glad when he's had the other tests done.

    Now, back to unpicking my lace as I noticed I had made a boo-boo . . .

  5. Hopefully Danny's stamina will be returning--his sudden illness has been a worry for him and for you, his family.
    I do like that bag--perfect colors for fall.

    1. Glad you like the bag Sharon. I enjoyed making it anyway. Hoping Danny is back to full fitness soon.

  6. Danny seems to have picked up, the tiredness may just be due to doing too much, anyway a few tests will hopefully sort it. Love the bag, a mistake is proof of home madeness ;)

    1. Hopefully he will be completely over it all soon Thelma, but it's always such a worry when one of your children is unwell.

      I read "a mistake is proof of home madness" - yup, that sounds right!!!
