Just a short post (131)b


This is just a short post, during a moment of 'feeling a bit better'. Merete challenged us to a week of feet photographs, and this is my feet during the last two days. I've been struck down with a stomach bug and spent the last two days in bed (or the bathroom - too much information?). Rosie's got the hump because I wouldn't let her sit on top of me. I think I'm on the mend now, though absolutely exhausted.

I did manage to do some sewing on Saturday, before I was struck down.  I made five tote bags for Christmas gifts. Do you recognise the patches? They're the ones I made for Bonnie's Orange Crush quilt and then didn't use. They're perfect for these bags though.

What a clever use of those extra blocks. Now I'm inspired to take a look at my extras and figure out what to do with them. And oops I still have to quilt my OC! Glad to hear you are feeling better.

I do so hate it when my stomach gets sick. I'm hoping you're feeling 100% now, Amanda.

Sorry you've been sick, but glad to hear you are on the mend. Your bags came out really nice. If I was close enough I'd bring you some chicken noodle soup.

Candace said...

Sorry you've been ill, Amanda. I am glad you're starting to feel a bit better. Your tote bags turned out really pretty and colorful.

What a great way to use those leftover blocks.
I am so sorry you have had the stomach flu. Nothing drains your energy like a bout of stomach flu.

What a wonderful way to use those blocks from the Orange Crush quilt. I have a few extra blocks from other quilts too. I may try and use this idea.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well; hope you feel better soon! I love the bright bold colors you chose, the blocks do look fabulous as a bag! Wonderful Christmas presents.

Sorry to hear you are feeling down. On the bright side, a nice stomach flu is always good for a couple of lost pounds. The tote bags from the orphaned OC blocks are just adorable. What a nice gift.

Gorgeous jewel colours.
Hope that you are recovered soon, there are too many nasty bugs around.

Oh sweetie, I'm glad you are feeling better now though. Aren't stomach bugs they most horrid things to deal with.
