So, about this illness. what exactly has kept me from you all? ahem!!! Lets say i'm suffering from one of those conditions that make you go through 3 stages. Each stage lasts approximately 3months. The first and and the last stages being the worst. I am in the second stage now, having gone through a horrible first stage, which made me so ill, as you all can testify. I have not made anything sewing or crocheting related since July. Shocking non?
The second stage is really treating me well. I am almost certain I am enjoying this stage. Then again, thoughts of the last 3 months of my "illness" fill me with dread!!
All of this, will of course have a direct impact on what I will be sewing in the coming months. I'm already going crazy just thinking about all those projects.
1 thing that has been puzzling me about this "illness", is its inability to help me loose weight. You'd think being sick for the past 4.5 months would leave anyone stick thin right? Apparently not. If anything, I have piled on a couple of pounds in places which can't be hidden. I kid you not. I am fast running out of clothes.
I have not taken any pictures of myself......too concious of the extra bulges here and there, but suffice it to say I look somewhat like this
maybe not that black, but still..........
A shout out to Debbie of Minnado's House, who I know is going through the same "illness" as moi.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
Haha I don't know whether to say 'congratulations' or 'get better soon'. Glad you are back and feeling better though.

ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!! That is sooooooo exciting!!!! I'm bummed the Scotland trip didn't work out (which is my fault--all those weekends were booked up!) Can't wait to see the maternity sewing!!! You should visit some vintage patterns for maternity wear...they definitely had the office chic down well!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see that all is well and that your "absence" was for such a happy reason. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! xx
