Hmmm, very bulky and restricting wasn't it?.jpg)
I have been burning the candle at both ends, feeling a bit low and last night I thought it through and decided to have a blog break to get away from the computer and seriously into stitching again. Now, this morning after another computer interruption I looked at my Outlook Express Inbox and thought ' this is where part of the trouble lies!' - so many gorgeous Comments and I have read and loved them all, could I just once again be excused from making Replies? - I'm so unhappy about this - I just feel I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel if I don't get off to a new start - also, I have done so much browsing and not Commented, so please forgive me. This is so much a part of my life and I'd like to carry on if possible - there we go, hope it is okay to carry on! I've also unsubscribed to quite a few sites!.jpg)
See my sidebar - this is the first edition of Fat Quarterly - PDF Download AU$8 - the whole 79 pages of it, must say I am impressed! I particularly love One Flew Over Kate's Windows and Frames Quilt - stunningly simple and the quilting is just amazing - congratulations Kate! Also, please visit Allison on Cluck.Cluck.SEW if you would like more eye-candy!.jpg)
Though I haven't used a lot of her fabrics, must say I am a real Amy Butler fan - look at the free patterns I have stumbled across - love them! .jpg)
I must be the oldest 'groupie' in the world - still love a handsome face and big muscular arms - my first I-Wish man was James Dean and second Patrick Swayze.
The reason for my late nights - I have been re-watching the miniseries North and South and loving it as much as the first time around. I have been so fortunate to visit the east coast of the USA and learn so much about the Civil War! Those beautiful plantations and antebellum homes!I have always been so impressed the way the United States has preserved its history and am very pleased to see Australia has gone that way, too

Yuk, messy! My Studio - will I be able to tidy the mess? - as you can see, I have been able to pull boxes out and scatter fabrics everywhere. Let's hope I can put a bit of law and order into the place and family might help my put the boxes away again, lol! I've also had a big morning this morning and feel I am getting on top of everything in quite a few ways!♥
Off to have some lunch and into the mess - thank you for being so understanding, I'm just sorry I have let it get to this stage and shall try really hard to keep up with it all now!
Oh Lurline, so glad that the sling has gone and that you can start to regain strength and control again, don't let all that thinking of Patrick Swayze wear you out ;o)
ReplyDeleteAlso don't feel that you must reply to my comments, just ease back into things at your own pace. Enjoy some sewing, sit back and take it easy....

I'm glad you don't need that sling any more.
ReplyDeleteI agree it is easy to spend lots of time on the computer.
I hope you can get lots of stitcjing done.
You've taught me something. I had to google antibellum. I had no idea what it meant.
ReplyDeleteHey missie, don't be so hard on yourself, life happens we all know that! Just take things easy one day at a time we know your fingers will be tip tapping flat out before long.

So good to read that the doctor is very satisfied with you. Take it easy and don't worry about the mails. You better take up the things you couldn't do the last few months and enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being rid of the sling! As everyone else has said, don't worry about replying, we all get overwhelmed at times and you have to do what is best for you.
ReplyDeleteOf course you don't need to respond to all those e-mails and comments. We understand! I'm impressed you could blog at all with surgery, the sling, etc.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a new start! Yea! No more sling!
No reply is necessary at all Lurline...the sling is off that is the best news..now to get a bit stronger and then we will be wowed again with your creations...

ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations on the sling going bye bye! I definitely understand your feeling overwhelmed by all the online stuff. Take a break -- everyone understands. It's hard to keep up! And I do think you need to get back into lovely quiltingness to make yourself feel like yourself again. Relax, indulge, treat yourself to a day of nothing but quilting! Or several days! lol! Enjoy yourself. Get that shoulder back to normal! We'll be here for you when you're ready to blog again!

Lurline, you know I'm a firm believer in Comment Amnesty when necessary. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sling coming off...know what you mean too about the computer..we have to be very disciplined otherwise we'd never get anything done..
ReplyDeletecheers
So happy to hear you are free once again Lurline! I remember when North and South aired as a mini series the first time. My husband and I were both taking night classes at Boston University and would rush home to catch the evening's installment! Good show!
