Following Doctor's orders

After having my booster shot yesterday I was given the instruction by the doctor to drink plenty of water and take it very easy for the next day or two.  Being the good patient that I am I am following his orders to the letter.   Plenty of water has been consumed and my idea of taking it easy is to sit at the sewing machine and move a few items that I have committed to closer to the finish line.   First up the binding has been cut for the set of placemats that are currently sitting on the sewing table,  fabrics chosen for dusting off an old book blog hop and making a start on cutting out those aqua/teal slabs of fabrics that were ironed last week. 

The slabs now look like this.   The next step is to get them sewn up and turned right way out before the end of the coming week.


Reading also falls into the take it easy category .  A new book has been started.


Another not too taxing activity was the sewing up and making a pom pom for the teal beanie that was on the knitting needles.


As well as casting on the stitches for the next beanie.


Eating plenty of fresh fruit was not mentioned but who does not like a plate of strawberries to help keep up one's strength.   


As you can see doctor's orders are being followed and quite a lot is being achieved in the sewing room at the same time.    

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Hope you're all good and the fluids and rest see you with no nasty side effects.
You certainly have plenty to keep you busy and not doing the HW! LOL

I’m glad you now have your booster shot and hope you felt OK while following doctor’s orders. Other than a sore arm, we were better than the initial shots. For taking it easy, you have achieved quite a bit. Maybe, those doctor’s orders should be followed every now and then.

You are being such a good patient! Your 'taking it easy' activities are truly just what the doctor ordered. Good for you.

I think we could all follow the doctors orders and be better off. It is good that you are one who has plenty of casual things to keep you busy such as sewing and reading.

I guess that means no swim laps?

I hope you are feeling ok after your booster and keeping up your fluids. I agree that all those projects are achieved while resting lol. Looks like a good book.

I must have a go at my doctor - he didn't tell me to rest!!!

It seems you had no ill effects - my arm was sore for a few days but otherwise, it was a none event! Glad its done though.
