There has not really been much to waffle about lately as I have been having a bout of headaches, mainly mild migraines but bad enough for me to be in bed and actually take medication which gives me a whoozy head and exacerbates the tinnitus, so all in all a bit of a crock!

We had a lot of snow over the weekend and on Monday the grandaughter built a tiny snowman in my garden, while I attempted to clear the front path!


I had a trip into town with the daughter during the week and we went to a little cafe we had not tried before and had something to eat, we will be going again! We are lucky in Bexhill as we have several cafes we can go into and get something for a reasonable price. I usually have to take some soy milk  just in case but a couple have it in stock. For once I didn't get anything at all (I usually fall prey to wool or craft stuff or books!) even though I need a new bag for work as the handle is going on mine ah well it will last a bit longer.

Half term started on Friday when the students all went home, which means a week of catching up and trying to do things. It got off to a bad start when I realised the material I am using to make a medieval kirtle for a friend needs washing first to preshrink it.and my washing machine is waiting for the lovely man to fix it. On monday am, bright and early (as one of my students says to me when I am on an early shift), still if I am up early I may get stuff done whilst I wait for him and then I can crack on with the material and the regular laundry!

 I haven't done much sewing for a while I have been knitting a lot but the latest thing I did was to reline a fur coat that a friend is recycling. to do this I used the lining from another old fur coat which kept it as a period item. I thought the finished article turned out very well and my frined was really pleased with it too, which is the main thing.

  1. I know people don't look favourably on real fur garments these days, but I think they're beautiful. My late mother-in-law had 2 mink coats which were passed down to my own mother.

    We haven't had any snow up here, and I really hope we don't any!

    Hope you are feeling better now. Migraines are horrid.

  2. I feel better now and hope it is gone tomorrow. At to the fur it is rabbit and an old one so recycling the fur from rabbit that is eaten and recycling rather than throwing away!
