Well I guess that is appropriate with it being Halloween! I know I have not posted in a while, again. That's life in this household these days. I have to do other things, deal with other stuff, so other stuff just gets left for when I can deal with it. I have come to realise I cant be a super woman any more and to do the things that are important to me and to be happy.
I have been on my own for five years now. Can I believe it, no I cant to be honest. Time has flown. I am proud of my achievements, it has been bloody hard work though and I am not getting any younger. Life is a tad odd, and quite solitary at times. I cant say I mind that after a day at work where I have to talk a lot of it. There are things missing though I have decided.
There has been another health incident, but have come through that absolutely fine. I did have to come to terms with that though after I had my wee procedure, and it was harder than when I had my gall bladder out. After a week or so, I am fine and my head it is a better place. It is amazing what can tip you over the edge. I have had a complete warrant of fitness this year, so should be happy where I am at. I know there are people so much more worse off than me, and one in particular that I am thinking of right now.
I did pick up my stitching now and again and have worked on my SKoW blocks. Sadly I am not going to have it finished by Christmas, but never mind. I am having some time off after Christmas and will finish it off then. This is really my first quilt, and I do need some help with it. I have a stitchy buddy, Clare who does amazing work and has helped me with a few things now. She is going to help me put it together, and then, another first, it will get quilted some how, probably a bit of machine and a bit of hand if I can. All new to me.
I could not get photos done as my 'helper' just had to be in the shots. It took me ages lol and he is such a poser! I have actually done most of the blocks to this quilt now, just two more to finish off.
I am also working on some Christmas things, so cant show those piccys yet.
The garden has had a spruce up too. I have a few new plants to put in to fill up holes still
and I know that is going to look great. Only two more gardens to do!! It is costly, certainly worth the effort though. And also quite physical, I do enjoy that part too. I had the offer of a water blaster over the weekend, and completely washed down the house and front fence that was looking a bit worse for wear too. Thrilled with results. I slept well Sunday night lol.
The weeds are thick... this is just the last little bit I have to do. Should take me about half an hour tops!
I do have some other things to show you, that will have to wait till next time.
