Busy days

Gosh where has this week gone? I know I have been reasonably busy,  Sewing all day Wednesday -  Joshua's, family birthday party on Wednesday -  Supermarket shopping Friday plus the dreaded h/w (don't like to mention that here! so will whisper it - housework) , oh and Sarah came and cut my hair..........hooray! (I was begining to look like shaggy sheep ) and all day yesterday I was at the first lace day of the year........lovely day.......lots of folk I know and my special lacemaking friends to gossip with all day.

I have some photo's of Joshua's birthday party, when I down load them from my camera I will show them here, but no photo's of yesterdays outing - somehow I just forgot to take any.  There I have done them. The orange thing is another Lego cake made to eat at home.

Brian is gradually improving - thank goodness, but his leg and arm are still very weak, and his leg collapses under him sometimes.  He says he has to think about how he puts his foot to the ground before taking a step!  He has started doing exercises to strengthen the muscles and is swimming early every morning again.  I expect it will take some time to get back to normal - after all he was out of action and doped up to the eyebrows for over two months altogether.  I am finding it difficult to allow him to take over the reins again - I have done his chores as well as mine all the time he was ill.

He had a good day out with our sons yesterday - unfortunately Chelsea lost the first game at home for many many months..... but they had a good day any way.  Kevin has told me today that Dad had trouble walking from the car to the ground as they had to park a long way from the entrance and that he was getting cross with himself - his strength will come back slowly we have been told by the Doc. provided he does as he is told and excercises!

Really glad to hear your husband is improving, sending you both good thoughts :)

You've been very busy :) Love the quilts, bag and pincusions - not seen any like that before!

The bag pattern is from a Mc Calls Quilting Magazine dated April 2008 and the pin cushions are made from paint trays from Hobbycraft. The leaf pattern quilt is from a very old McCalls dated Sept 1999. I have had the fabric and the mag together in a box intending to make all that time! other things get in the way like the 3 babies born in our family all in one summer! Two of then are in the photo of the children - the 4year olds, one a granddaughter and the other a great grandson!
