There's been "no go" at boandco


Hello again to my second ever blog!

Thank you for all the lovely comments from my first attempt.

Since then, life has slowed considerably for me after a routine 3 month check with my skin cancer specialist. I ended up having surgery, on my right hand, the very next day.


And that has been the last 11 days. No use of my right hand at all. No knitting, no sewing, even dressing was a chore ( much to my hubby's delight) He has been a stand out nurse! 
Sometimes even over zealous, if you know what I mean!!



So while my head has been full of ideas, I have just had to rest.
Yesterday was stitches out day but sadly I now have an infection in it... so more rest..........and one handed typing.


One of our new styles this season has been the Jasmin dress This gorgeous boho inspired dress is just so pretty. A little tie at the neck makes for easy dressing. Both my grand daughters, Esme and Sylvie, chose colours and also have their very own "Jasmin".

I have been thinking about my sewing room ( a happy, warm place) and in particular my sewing machines. They are the best friends to have.
  They are dependable and tough. And they never get pippy when you abuse them.
A productive day sewing is like sitting enjoying a cold wine  It's satisfying and it's refreshing and it's fulfilling.

We are eagerly awaiting the birth of another grandchild, in Melbourne.
Our son Brad and his beautiful wife Casey are due to have their first baby VERY soon. 
And that sure is a motive to get better soon.

As the rains sets in for the weekend, let's all relax in the warm and think of sunnier days to come.

My dear friend Robyn sent me a "care gift" yesterday and a card with this meaningful Irish blessing.

"May your troubles be less,
your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
come through your door."

Take care

Julie
