Boo Hoo

Those of you who have been reading my blog over the last 2 weeks will know that hubs has not been well and I did - note did - have plans to attend my annual 3 day quilting retreat starting today.   Well that was not meant to be as hubs is needing to attend  the hospital on a daily basis until???? for wound dressing and at this point he is unable to  drive himself so I have had to step up and put on my "taxi driver's hat" until such stage that he can drive again.  

I decided that while I cannot be at the retreat with the others I will try to fit in as much sewing as I can in between doing the domestic duties, preparing meals, taxiing etc.     Off to the sewing room and my first job was to wind a couple of bobbins


Then set up my box of little coloured and white squares waiting to be sewn along with a block of my favourite chocolate to help console me.


On the upside hubs foot and leg are progressing in the right direction which is good news. 

Back soon with a progress report on my home quilting retreat and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Such a shame you didn't get to go to your retreat, but it's great you're managing a home retreat! Fingers crossed things keep progressing positively for your husband x

Who says a in home retreat can't be as productive as a remote retreat? It won't have the camaraderie of a remote one, but maybe you can face time the others?

Sorry you are missing the retreat, but maybe a in home retreat can be just as productive? It will lack the camaraderie for sure, but your hubs needs you.

Oh, Lindt chocolate! Of course you couldn't show restraint! I'm surprised you got through the weekend with some left. I certainly wouldn't have! I've had chocolate from all over the world, but my choice is give me Lindt every single time.
