Back in December, I posted about having an ear infection/bronchitis/sinus infection all at the same time. Well, I have it again! And the same damn ear to boot! I woke up very dizzy and sensitive to sound, so I thought I should go to the doctor and get some good antibiotics. And next week I need to go see an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor to figure out just what is going on. So I’m off tonight again, but at least LOST is on and I can try to get some knitting done. (BTW – last week’s episode will air again before the new one, and feeling as bad as I do, a very sexy Sayid will certainly help me feel better. 🙂 Eye candy is always so much better when I feel like a steam roller ran over me.)
Yesterday, John brought me home flowers! They are so pretty, and the tulips still have the bulbs, so I can plant them this spring. I bought the pink ones a couple days ago, but I think they compliment each other well. And now I have an excuse to buy a new planter!
Today when I woke up from a nap, there was a box waiting for me! My Sock Pal had emailed me and told me that she was sending me a little something for my birthday. What a great surprise!
There is a really cute little tote with tons of pockets, some cool silk fabric, some very pretty fleece fabric, and some good looking chocolate! But wait …. look what happens when I empty all of the pockets!
MORE FABRIC! I love fat quarters!! You can make the cutest small projects, and I’m always looking for more for my fabric stash. There is some great thread, a lime green Sharpie, various pink buttons, and some sew on rose buds.
Thank you so very much Sock Pal! It couldn’t have come at a better time!!!!
And speaking of sewing, I finished a small project the other day for one of my swap pals. I made my first needle roll! Now, I made a small mistake and left the stitching on the outside, but I think it looks fine. You just can’t see that from these pictures.
There is a little lip at the top to hold needles in, and then two pockets at the bottom. I think my pal is going to love it. And I can’t wait to make more. Now that I’ve tackled bias tape, I’m ready to tackle anything. 🙂
Ouch! Feel Better! Love your needle case and you know I love the colors 🙂
And the fabric surprise – wow!
On another note since you have a new machine and all, and a new found love for fabric, I being the junkie I am have tons! Even though I have recently gone through it and got rid of a bunch of stuff that no longer did it for me, I did keep some just because I couldn’t bare to get rid of it. Like I bought a ton of sheer stuff for gauzy curtains for the house, and one day soon your going to have a house. I mean would you like some? Can I ship you a box. If I accidentally put things in there that you can’t use do you have a source to pass them on to? You could even give me a list of things you would like 🙂
I’ve only been knitting a few years, and you know some of my yarn stashing skills. I’ve been quilting and sewing just about my whole life – just imagine the possibilities 🙂
Oh the curtain stuff is a beige/tannish type of color. A very neutral type color.
I hope you feel better soon. These things just keep going around and around…
Awesome needle roll! Again, wishing I was your swap partner! Very jazzy!
very cool needle roll! I am glad you like it. The silk I love. I can’t wait to see what you make with it!
Feel better!
I too love the needle roll, and am glad you’re getting spoiled while you’re not feeling well. Get well soon!!
Cool needle roll – hope your better soon. – K
feel better, I have been fighting the same thing 2 weeks in Jan and going on 3 this month!!
Oh no! I really hope you will be able to kick this thing sonner rather than later. I’m still getting over some sinus/bronchi/something — 5 1/2 weeks and counting. Blech.
Ask me about my neti pot 🙂
Hope you’re feeling better this weekend! What lovely flowers and a great swap package too! I didn’t know you were a sewer when I was your sock pal or I would have sent you some FQ’s! I love those too. And that needle roll is fantastic! Great job 🙂
