Foot update

Ok have been back to the specialist today to view the results of the MRI… the mortons neuroma has not grown back, there is fluid between the 3rd and 4th toe and a small lump on the ball of the foot….I am in  to the hospital on 14th April for cortisone injection and bone manipulation of my left foot…I am not under any false thoughts - this will hurt-does hurt-and if anyone would like to go in my place they are welcome….however I truly need to go don’t I –like heck we only have one set of feet and mine still have plenty of miles planned to do…….if this does not alleviate the pain for some time-then I have to get an appointment with the visiting foot specialist..oh the joy of living where you only have visiting specialists grrrr..am thinking I’ll book an appt with this dude just so I know I am on the list, won’t hurt to cancel if I don’t need it…

ULUI runner

Yeah I can post on my blog again woohoo…I tell yah some days I just feel like putting a big red X on blogger-but today it’s being nice so I shall continue.
Last weekend Jenny posted she was making a table runner to help her sit out Cyclone Ului, well what an awesome idea –lovely oppsie daises in the corners and a pack of charm squares (well I have several I really need to use)…
Soo I opened the draw grabbed a pack-printed of the daises –grabbed some plain fabric traced them out and hiho hiho a sewing I did go…..and I looooove it ..
Beautiful Moda-Fabulous Fall charm squares…
Oopsie in the corner so sweet just makes the runner I reckon. mental note to self iron our creases before taking a pic---yeah yeah one day…..
I did have a problem selecting the border fabric so I was brave and asked Mr Techno to come and assist and within seconds he had chosen the fabric that I used..good man think I’ll keep him…
Thank you so much Jenny this was a delightful project to do…
Oh yeah and yippee another finish for the OPAM for March.Cheers Vickie
Thanks for stopping by.
Now back I must go to the blasted king blue quilt

Ugly fat ¼ Swap

Yeah I have finished my items for Lauren for the ugly fat quarter swap…had so much fun and am thinking Lauren will like them if not they can always be given as gifts…

Oh yeah and I’m doing the happy dance ‘cause that means I have finished 3 items for March….

‘Knowing how much bloggers love to see photos I thought I’d best post one.

this is the 2 scraps I had leftover-not bad I thought…oh what you thought I was going to show you a pic of what I made..hahaha get real not till Lauren has received them…

Was lost but is now found.

Ok I wasn’t really lost but sheeeesh sure felt like I was…too many things happening and not enough hours in the day and the weeks have just flown by..

My foot is still being painful and i am booked in for an MRI on the 26 March.

I have been doing some sewing stuffs (in my mind) with this bundle ,that I received from Lauren in the the ugly fat quarter swap. Gist is you send your partner a fat ¼ of ugly fabric and some trimmings  and your partner can add 1 fat ¼ to it and then make you something and turn it into something that will make the fat ¼ more appealing

 

Lauren sent me a florally fat ¼ ,olive green trim,cream ric rak a vintage looking key some pink buttons and a kit kat-well I’ve munched on the kit kat whilst thinking what to make out of this and return to Lauren..hmmmm some plans are actually happening now…

I received my purchase from that wonderful online bookstore yes you know the one…the book depository uk.

Isn’t it beautiful yep and it’s all Jenny’s fault –yep it sure is I wouldna fib to you..see I won some Cath Kidson stickers and pre cut fabric hearts from Jenny and I just fell in love with them and had to have something more…

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDD my purchase from my favourite online supply place Nancy’s Notions came today yipeeeeeeee.

hmmm goodies a twiggy layer cake a magic vine charm pack some melly & me patterns a table runner pattern some iron easy ands some country fair pear tossed floral fabric which is a nice strudy cotton…

OH yes and I have been doing sewing on the make do memories mini quilt challenge hosted by Lyn golly gosh these blocks are so fragile-what a joy it is to be able to help preserve some and oh dear what a nooncehead I am –in all my wisdom I decided to hand sew my project cause the original blocks are hand sewn..hmm will I make the deadline date yes I think I will……
