Twixtmas 2021

In the run up to Christmas I found some of the Aida and linen offcuts from projects I have made this year. Taking a leap I patched them together and made some frankenfabric. I've started on one half with some leftover threads, the other half will be neutral colours. Don't know where it's going but…

December Almost There

I managed to finish off the last of the silk thrums with two more bowls and a couple of placemats. What I was most happy about is that a good sized carrier bag of stuff just sitting in the way is now used up and useful!! Well I had the smallest amount left which went…

A Catch-up Round-up.

These past couple of months have been extremely hard. Having to make the decision for Ellie when she was still so bright in herself nearly totally broke me. John is still struggling with balancing his meds to have some sort of life. Breathing is often quite a challenge for him especially first thing in the…

Fair Well My Princess

Today we said goodbye to the most perfect of dogs, Ellie. She had so much pride and dignity she was reliable, a great, trustworthy companion and only ever wanted to be with you and please. Run free my Perfect Princess, go find Ruger and snuggle up. It was an honour to be owned by you…

On to November!

October the Beginning

In a fuel shortage we have probably clocked up more miles these past few weeks than ever! There has been a long list of hospital appointments for both of us. My physio is coming along great and I'm actually feeling the improvements. John has been doing well until the breathlessness started to become a problem.…

Rest and Recuperation

As you can imagine we've been taking it slowly as John finds his feet again. He is finding that his 'battery' runs low quite quickly and it takes a while to recharge. He is also taking a trial drug which is giving him the occasional headache and shortness of breath. It's doing all the other…

A Week to Not Repeat

Not even a week really though it feels like it's all gone in slow motion. Remember my little Scarecrow for our Village Gathering last time? Well that morphed into this at 07.30 Wednesday 1st September. John came back from the dog walk not feeling too well. Thankfully we have good friends and a defibrillator in…
