I've been sick for over two weeks - and there are times I feel that I have made no progress at all in the getting-better process. Does it help to know that so many others have the same thing? No, not really....I am too self-involved at the moment for that to matter. I simply want it to depart from ME!
However, since just before falling victim to the unseen forces that beleaguer human kind with colds and malaise, we bought me my dream sewing/embroidery machine, I have had something with which to occupy my mind.
Enter the amazing Viking Designer Ruby Deluxe.
Star of the show!
Answer to my deepest yearnings.
And, in part, cause of some of my frustration at being ill. I haven't actually been able to get at it and start creating.
I finally did get in my first class on Wednesday, and learned enough to boggle the mind!
I have blindly stabbed away at getting on line and getting some free St. Patrick's Day patterns, and today made up exactly ONE dinner napkin.
Cool, eh?
Earlier this week - from 3 AM to 6 AM - thank you meds, for the wondrous hours of non-sleep during the night, and deadly slumber during the day.... I made up this St. Patrick's Day mantle cloth. I quilted it with some of the fancy stitches on the sewing machine. Imagine when I get comfortable with the embroidery!
And remember that Quilter's Star I was so mad at? Well, he's chugging along doing piecing and things for which he was designed, and doing them quite well...now that he knows the high tech stuff will be handled by his "brother." They are sharing the load...and I am a really happy camper.
Except that I am sick. Whine Whine Whine.
