it is growing

The picture is growing really well, starting to work down to the bottom now before going to work to the top.

Mum's foot has been bad again today, she went to the doctor and has gout. She just sits there and expects Dad and I to run after her. It makes me feel better that I am not giving into the pain in my feet which is getting worse.

dentist

Whilst getting the car out, I saw Sally's Mum who said she had wanted to see me to see how I am as I have had one thing after another!

Mum's foot was hurting today, so they did not go shopping.

I went to Keighley parking in Morrisons car park. I took my last embroidery to be framed it will take a week and will cost £42.00 which is good value for money, looking forward to seeing it. After going there, I went to the dentist only had the usual scrape and polish so that is it for another 6 months.

I am fed up of feeling sick and being in pain

enjoying it

Spent the day stitching the Japanese Garden, it has been so nice using lots of colour and tiny stitches bliss.

Shame I am feeling so sick, even the Indian Brandee did not work today.

Got a text from my dentist this morning to remind me of my appointment tomorrow. I had forgotten so the technology worked

Finished

The sepia toned picture was finished at 8.30 last night it would have been finished earlier but as it is a tradition to watch Hairy Bikers whilst putting the last few stitches in decided to wait and watch them on TV rather than Youtube. Took the picture upto Pam and Brian's they seemed to like it. Showed Brian how to change the sky on some photographs. This is something I have been finding it hard to do before yet it was easy.

Brian pulled my beautiful plait which made me smile, how long have I waited for a plait that was long enough to be pulled

It is good to be back doing something with small stitches and lots of colour and where I can actually say what I am stitching in this case Mount Fuji.

Hairy Bikers

Had a wonderful day today, drove to Skipton to meet Liz and Dawn at Morrisons, we had a drink there, I had a croissant which was delicious. We then had a walk round Focus and Tesco.

Took a walk up to the bridge to look at the statue of Freddy Trueman the photographs I took have come out very well, shame my feet were too painful to go and have a closer look. It is something I want to do soon.

Driving through Kildwick was listening to John Denver who started singing 'Take me home country roads' which I thought was appropriate.

At the moment waiting for the Hairy Bikers as Hairy Bakers to come on so that I can keep the tradition up of finishing a sewing project whilst watching them. Have only got 3 stitches to put in

another first

Had another very painful day feeling sick. Mum and Dad went walking with Aunty Susan and Uncle Peter, enjoyed having the house to myself again.

Got a bit of sewing done and can see the end in sight was surprised how well the horse looked without much work.

Achieved another ambition by being able to wring my hair a simple thing but it gave me pleasure. Looking forward to plaiting my hair again in the morning

settling down

Things have settled down now, and we are getting back into a routine, although Mum should not be sleeping as much as she is.

Had an awful day with my feet hurting, think they are getting worse instead of better.

Was going to spend the evening doing more sewing but Aunty Susand and Uncle Peter came over so spending the evening playing on the computer
