Hi friends,
I’m just checking in to let everyone know I’m still around. My dad’s passing has been much more stressful than I imagined. When I have felt up to it, I’ve done a little sewing, I made a muslin for a dress which was a mixture of 2 patterns. The good old NL5615 – well it’s the only pattern I’ve made that fits me so far. I know, I know I must move on. I’m trying, really I am.
So, I hated my first dress ‘design’, can I call it a design? It now sits buried in the bottom of my stash cupboard. I might show you all when I get time to do some photos.
In other news, My health has improved slowly for which I am very happy and thankful. I bought a Circulation Booster and it has helped a great deal along with the other pain management strategies I have built into my life. This means I’ve done more housework and less sewing! I’m off now to do some ironing and then hopefully start sewing the dress I have cut out almost 2 weeks ago.
Hope you all having a fun weekend,
Cheers
Donna
Glad to hear your health is improving. Make sure to post a picture when you complete the dress. Today our quilting guild had a quilt show and it was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Hope things are looking up for you. Take care and keep me posted on things.

I hope you begin to feel happier about your father soon. I know exactly how you feel. I know when mine passed away I immersed myself in my hobbies to keep me going, sewing being better than singing, since I used to sing with Dad all the time.
