This wretched virus is still plaguing us and we have tried to rest up a bit this week, but even little jobs have knocked the stuffing out of us both. Our eldest daughter is here for a few days (she works from home but has had to come into the office for two days this week), and it's lovely to have her here.
I am sleeping poorly - I was awake (fretting about something) in the night, so came down for 2 hours and finished sewing the binding on Tam's quilt. Then I went back to bed, but it was 5 a.m. before I finally nodded off again and I feel somewhat bejeebered now.
Anyway, I have finally almost finished Tam's purple patchwork quilt. I finished the binding about 3 a.m. this morning . . . I have a few ends to sew in, and a very short length of machine interlace stitching at the very end of a piece of sashing, and THEN I can finally get back to Gabby's quilt, which needs tieing and binding.
I should get back to the final corner of our bedroom wall, to finish painting it. We have looked at carpeting so hopefully by mid-January it will be finished. The light blue walls make so much difference.
Right, I must get my last cards written and ready to post (I shall be glad when THAT is all done).
I am writing cards after we have had our evening meal. Even that I find a real drag, how seasonal am I. Hope you are feeling better soon.x
ReplyDeleteOne year I did ALL the cards in January, put them away somewhere safe, and haven't found them yet! So I shan't be doing THAT again!!
DeleteCards and parcels sent, but I am way behind on my baking and so need to get that completed very soon.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you start to feel better very soon.
God bless.
Baking? Oh golly gosh, not even given that a thought yet Jackie, so it's you and I both behind like the donkey's tail!!
DeleteDratted virus. I hope you are feeling a bit (a lot) better, or have at least had a decent sleep. Well done on all that sewing though, at least you didn't waste the time!
ReplyDeleteI felt better - FAR better - for a day's rest, I have to say, and slept soundly last night, which helped too. I have never been one to sit and do nothing, so am normally sewing, doing a puzzle or similar if I am sat down. In the hours of daylight if I HAVE to rest, I will peel potatoes or apples on the sofa (I have a good system going!)
