Oops ..need to get a move on

I intended to finish the annex yesterday ... I really did have good intentions honest, but my back had other ideas!!!! I did go in there and pottered, sorting my cross stitch bits into nice baskets, my hexagon patchwork obsession, I have quite a selection of sizes now.....all,sorted,in trays of different sizes...
My they look so pretty.....


 And I put all my very favourite fabric in the brown suitcase








Then I found a place for my washi and fabric 
tapes



and something I had wanted to do for ages and ages organise 
my  die cutting machine and dies into themes 

But no lifting 
so the last bit of moving boxes and tubs
will have to wait for another day....


I have a history of slipped discs and sciatica and when my back say "enough" I listen otherwise I will be laid up for weeks !! Lots of gentle stretches and exercise , some anti-inflammatory tablets and I am sure it will be tickety boo.......I am going out , fingers crossed with Little Miss today to choose a present for my new great nephew and a little treat for his sisters and brothers.  I really don,t want to miss our little outing.  On days out like this Little Miss shares her thoughts with me more so than at home.  She seems to be enjoying the new school  but although she is in a special ASD unit , she still uses the canteen etc and tells me it is so loud and noisey when the big kids are about.....noise has always been a problem for her ....I have told her just to take it a day at a time ....easy for me to say..not so easy for her.

So yesterday  I did something at least ...frustrating  because I wanted to do more  .but I did do something!!! I did spend time in the annex, I did a little sewing for a swap......even did some daydreaming .....nice.

My desk looks like this




The rugby thing has started, I am not a fan and had to endure grown men dancing around a rugby ball like a bunch of nellies!! last  night. Hubby says it's on for 6 weeks..oh no it's not I told him!!!  I feel a lot of sewing will be called for !!!!!! Looks like it might be a long 6 weeks otherwise!!!


                                                                      See you soon
                                                                             Xxxx

  1. believe me , this New Zealander hates the All Blacks. Could not care less! Think the husband might watch a bit of the rugby and I'll make sarcastic comments :).Rugby is a flipping religion here.
    Take it easy - sciatica is horrible. I did have a giggle at your desk. I adore your collections of washi and the fabric.

  5. Look after your back, my dear. I have to take care of mine, too, so I know how you feel. Good luck with the sewing room and I hope that you did get to go on your outing with Little Miss.

  9. Your little room of wonder is pure heaven... tidy & organised or not! :)
    Have been watching the rugby, simply loves it... Unlike football!! The problem is I spend a bit too much time admiring some of these players instead of focusing on my cross stitch project :P
