The last two months have whizzed by. I haven't lived in my own home but been staying as a carer with my mother in law and popping home daily to check on things since she returned from her rehab in the SEQ. Between doctors appointments, physio, chiro, specialists and exercise classes there's not much time left to get much done! She's doing well, by the way and looking good....the cat (Missy) is so happy to have her home and she's feeling much better after her heart attack earlier this year. She's back into her cooking (which is her happy place) but resting lots more.
She's not doing too badly for an 84 year old who's never been 'really' sick. It's only been in the last year or so that she's started to take any tablets for anything other than panadol so she's done pretty well considering.

Consequently, I haven't got much done in the way of sewing....I've a few hand projects I've been working on getting done, or at least getting the hand stitching parts of projects done so I'm progressing slowly.....just nothing on the machine for now.
So, I talked to Mr Linky and checked with our Facebook Group Leader (me!!) and added a whole lotta names in the Wheel for May....(there were 40 of you.....I think that's our record so far...it's awesome having so many like minded stitchers join in) .......and remember I said there'd be TWO winners for May as it was my birthday month?
Well the first of our two lucky winners, who will receive our regular monthly prize of a $30 voucher donated by the lovely Dawn of Kitty Rose Cottage, is........
Congratulations to you Colleen Dunn.....you've won yourself a $30 voucher to spend at Kitty Rose Cottage on whatever your heart desires! what a way to start the term!!!!

Congratulations to all your winners. Nice to see your MIL improving. xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners, especially the birthday winnings! And that means happy birthday to you, dear Wendy, even if a while ago. Great to see your MIL doing so well. That looks like quite the plateful she's attacking. Glad her appetite and cooking skills are back with her. Hope your weekend is going well. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.
ReplyDeleteI actually did sew last Friday night, but I could have sworn FNSI was the 3rd Friday each month and that is this coming Friday? Am I misremembering?
ReplyDeleteI did a bunch of stitching last nite and some organizing too! Time sure flies in the sewing room! Posted a link on what I've been doing the last few Fridays. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Deb. Will have to pop over to yours for a look
