How I wish that I had cameras up to record the goings on last night. I tried sleeping upstairs but couldn't get comfortable - the only time my back didn't hurt was when I sat up. Cue lightbulb moment - the chair downstairs with the pull up foot rest! So down the stairs I came - trailing my duvet like some form of Christopher Robin with his blanket - and sat in the chair. again I tossed and turned - now I needed a hot water bottle - and so it went on. The only truly surprising fact is that I woke up at 5am - giving me around 4 hours sleep so not too shabby. However I did fall asleep when watching the sewing programme at 8am on Create and Craft that I like to tune into! My plan for tonight? I now have a supply of those stick on patches which dispenses some heat and comfort - we will try a bed (probably mine first) and see how it goes! On the bright side - my head is still poorly but I don't notice it now!
Sewing wise you may recall that I gave myself until Monday afternoon at 1pm to finish three decorations,a Christmas present and some cutting out for a new project. Well - I haven't started on the cutting out yet but the Christmas present has a little bit of hand sewing to go before the binding is added (oops - maybe a hint there) and, as you can see two decorations just need a small slip stitch to finish them off. I will do the hand sewing for the third tonight. I am really pleased with the way that these have turned out - they could even be used for handmade cards - hmmm!
I did promise you a present for my great nephew however. I had had this piece of fabric in my "stash" for some time and had treated myself to this new Jenni Rayment book. In the book she had details of a baby changing mat which folds up into a small tote bag and has pockets for nappies and wipes - out of reach from the baby - it seemed like a plan! The "straight" police would have a field day - the towelling was a new towel from Tesco and it moved all over the place - however I am really pleased with the finished article and will get it posted off this week.
