This is all I have done today. I have just put it aside as my brain just doesn't want to function to work out the layout of the next row round - despite having it shown on paper in the pattern. The fabrics are from the charm pack I bought last month and aren't working brilliantly together in this pattern. Ah well. The cats will enjoy sitting on it!
I am feeling so low today - I have no energy for anything, no desire to do anything and I just feel lonely. I had to force myself to work on the table topper. I have just gotten Robert McFarlane's The Old Ways on Audible, but I wasn't enjoying that either as it required concentration (sadly missing today). I have several of his books, but have only dipped into rather than read as his style isn't a relaxing one to read. I felt the same about Hilary Mantel and Wolf Hall.
I managed to find ITV live racing on my computer, so can watch the Cheltenham Festival next week.
I can't face a 2nd night of Tortellini and pizza topping, so have made a Pizza base which has just come to dough in the bread maker. I can't be bothered to make that either, but will have to force myself and force myself to eat some too.
I must take a leaf out of Sue in My Quiet Life in Suffolk's book and count my blessings:
Mainly the 'oscopy is behind me and no worrying signs.
I am going to see Tam and Rosie tomorrow.
I have kind and helpful neighbours.
Hah - I have a fabric stash to keep me going for years, at the rate I sew!
I have four lovely cats who adore me.
I have a wonderful family who would do anything for me.
I am going to Copenhagen next month and will finally see Bog Bodies for the first time :)
The sun has shone a couple of days this week and I got out in the garden.
I have seeds to start and plants to plant.

Sorry you're feeling low. But you have T & R to look forward to. Blessings are valuable but sometimes loneliness takes over. "Better days ahead!"
ReplyDeleteYour quilt block is lovely, beautifully made! And I saw on my blog that you got your Janome fixed---you fixed it yourself? When you feel focused, keep going, the fabrics are so pretty.

I took it to my Quilting class to get our teacher Alex to have a look at it. Mostly needed oiling and I need to keep an eye on any other threads accumulating there. I have since oiled it more thoroughly at home. Fabrics pretty enough but because I am down I can't appreciate them!
DeleteSounds like you've got the winter doldrums. Maybe one you can get out in the fresh air you will hopefully feel differently.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh absolutely. I need to get out, but will be doing that tomorrow when I drive to Tam's. It's quite a drive (50 + miles each way) but lovely through the mountains. I hope it doesn't rain!!
