Being in the Wars

Well we’ve had a few weeks of strangeness starting with John and a nosebleed. Not just any nosebleed of course. His has to involve blood vessels well up into the sinus cavity and being on two types of blood thinners. Then there was the no response from 111, 999 having a 4 hour minimum ambulance…

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.…

Augtember Hmmmm

Who would have ever thought August would slide into being an autumnal month! It's certainly been feeling that way with chilly, damp and grey mornings often with mist in the valleys and warmer, sunny afternoons. I don't think I've done the summer/winter wardrobe swap over for several years and months like this are exactly why.…

Half Past August

Bit of a catch up this week! First welcome to you if you have just joined me and come from Sandra's blog Wild Daffodil. Feel free to browse and join in! Question: do you wear an apron? Creative ones I mean, not the cooking type. I have several and have noticed once I put one…

The brain hasn’t really wanted to function on things that need working on like coursework so I’ve been in the shade with things that don’t take too…

A Quick Zoom Away

A Minor Arty Thing but it’s a Start!

Sue Brown of http://suebrownprintmaker.blogspot.com/ started a project with Louise Asher and Liske Johnson called Same Sea: Different Boat. She asked for people to send in collagraphs of a feeling of the lockdown. She would print them and send them back for stitch. Though I saw it all happening from the start I didn't actually decide…

Mermaid Finish

The Mermaid tail has been finished! It was quite a quick knit. I can fit my legs and feet in it easily so Olivia will disappear! It's quite nice thinking that I've started the CWord makes off. On to a shark version next. The Wordsworth Cuckoo is nearly there too. Just a dash to the…
