Useless

I am useless at this blogging thing. Photo's never end up where I think I have put them and I can't get the writing to go down the side of the photo's . I think I need a tutorial!!

long time again...

since I updated.


My hospital appointment confirmed that the problem I have with my fingers and ankle and knee is arthritis. The consultant gave me the option of having my index finger joint fused and seeing how other things go. I've decide to wait a while as I can live with it at the moment. I'm hoping the problem doesn't get worse too quickly but I'll deal with that if and when it happens.



I bought myself a new potato peeler, the old fashioned type, sort of semi-circle with a blade at the bottom.,. It works really well and is so much easier on my fingers. NOT so easy on my thumb though. I took a chunk out of my left thumb on Friday and couldn't believe how much it bled. For 4 hours every time I took pressure of it drippedand 5 wrappings and a (clean) tea towel were soaked. It stopped at last but I have it well wrapped up as it is so sore.



I have been busy sewing and here are a few photo's of my latest projects, a cushion for Beverlys spare room, a pencil case. Actually I made another which now has Etans ' rock collection in it! The last one is supposed to be a 'mug bag' to hold a mug when travelling to crops etc. but of course it cna have many other uses.
