OK so I have had quite a severe cold during the week, still coughing, I think I am hooked on linctus by now but at least it appears to have subsided somewhat, keeping fingers crossed it doesn't come back and hit me again like they often do.
I have managed a couple more panels for the quilt -
Also a friends small boy has a birthday coming up and she asked me to make him a cushion for his bed, had to be red and white and squashy so this is what I came up with. I have made it into a pyjama case and it is padded with thick foam wadding and lined with white cotton sheeting so very washable.
It is Handmade Monday so can I suggest you pop along to www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/blog and have a look at some lovely crafted articles.
One way and another I am having a traumatic weekend. Lots of phone calls and crying. I have two aunts, one 87 and the other 93 in a couple of months. Both live in their own homes, the older one with her partner who is 92.
The 93 year old has fallen out with her partner, The problem is not what they have argued over but their age, They should have help in but will not admit that they need it and I get shot down in flames if I even hint at them not managing. I should add that these Aunts never had children so guess who has to pick up the slack. They all live about 35 miles from me so not so easily accessible. The younger Aunt is also crying because the older one is upset.
I am about to get shot down in flames yet again because I am contacting their Doctor tomorrow to get them to go in and insist they have some help. They will listen to him because, in their eyes he has the voice of authority.
Wish me luck.
