I have been A.W.O.L for too long!! Wow! I cannot believe how much time has flown by! My goodness, where do I start.....<br />
<br />
As a lot of you may remember, or not?! September 2017 I started university!! Eeeek!! I could not believe it, me going to university!! Doing a B A (Hons) in Textile Design.<br />
<br />
I am so pleased and happy to say that I have completed my first year! That literally passed very quickly! I have loved every minute and cannot believe that a whole year has passed!!!<br />
<br />
What have I been doing?? Oh, my!! LOADS!!! Ha ha creating my own fabric designs!! Print screen techniques on fabrics, heat press techniques on fabrics, Lino printing, mono printing, free motion embroidery, hand stitching, drawing, painting, mark making, essay writing, knitting, machine knitting, various fabric manipulation techniques, flocking, designing and generally having a wonderful time!<br />
<br />
I set up an Instagram page as a kind of visual reference for myself to help me remember what I get up to! Feel free to go check out what I get up to whilst at university ..... <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jacquelinetextiles/?hl=en" target="_blank">HERE</a> Lots of photos too!<br />
<br />
Something interesting I did throughout the year was to take photos of my desk space...<br />

Other news.....<br />
<br />
I am still stitching for Hands Across The Sea Samplers as one of Nicolas model stitchers, I absolutely love stitching reproduction samplers. Bringing a small part of the past alive again is rather special and I am enjoying my journey with HATS. I have updated the TAB on my blog with the new samplers I have stitched.<br />
<br />
I have the summer to draw, creat and stitch then its back to university in September.<br />
<br />
Sorry for staying away for so long....<br />

I have had this Design from Primitive Gatherings called May Basket Welcome Banner in my stash for some time now. I thought it would be nice to actually make it!! Ha ha so that's what I sent out to do! I got as far as cutting the design out and placing it, using fuse and bond it's all stuck down in place too. All I need to do is stitch it....here lies the dilemma! I was thinking to try and match the colours of the wool and stitch like that.. Then I had another thought to just stitch it all with black? Hmmmm perhaps not! Sounded alright in my head, but now I have put it on paper I don't like that idea much at all! Ha ha guess I will be colour matching! I will use anchor threads probably as I have a fair few of them I don't use for cross stitching now.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4tLcVNQ5m1qnsEwT5JRegghuk6JCarErcHRmWQ-HftGVWbc0KNQgkjOxBJmkcGTG6K38oqC81l4v_JgP7arjabApzaPXb3AVvpMqRAwfDZ5gfihPzQED7vv624ncAm3aLRt5IeSX9mI/s640/blogger-image-202419144.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4tLcVNQ5m1qnsEwT5JRegghuk6JCarErcHRmWQ-HftGVWbc0KNQgkjOxBJmkcGTG6K38oqC81l4v_JgP7arjabApzaPXb3AVvpMqRAwfDZ5gfihPzQED7vv624ncAm3aLRt5IeSX9mI/s640/blogger-image-202419144.jpg"></a></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><div>So I should hopefully have an update on this next time! π</div><div><br></div><div>I am sure I share these with you?

Ha ha well..... I stitched up this moths design the quickest and posted it in the group. As a kind of reward I received the one Kathy stitched!! How awesome right?! </div><div>I was thinking and thinking what to do with them both and then it came to me! I needed pencil cases, so that's what I made! Or rather tried to! Zips!!

I have so much to tell you!!! Where do I start..... With THE most exciting news of all??? As some of you know I decided to apply for university this year! To do something for me, that I would enjoy and hopefully to achieve something at the end of it. I decided to apply for a degree course, B A in Textiles. Due to me having health issues still and mobility issues too I opted to apply at my local college that also runs university degree courses. I went about 4 weeks ago for my first interview and it went really well. The tutor wanted to set me a brief to see how I would tackle it.... I loved every minute of it. Today I returned for my second interview and took along all the work I had done. It was an amazing interview and I am so proud of myself. I am pleased to announce that I was offered a place on the course!!! <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0RmShPnA3ZRo-BtSYy5zJY4b8MyCfYZuCPF9y5QmILip3BV6hFgEC86tVXlQpcAYpQh80u6Ii8Qev9NBoUq9H8fkXJWq0MCyEG_LL9RnS5LKTtYt4TZFxtVO0Q5Lgj56oCKTIZFCiuA/s640/blogger-image-660792967.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0RmShPnA3ZRo-BtSYy5zJY4b8MyCfYZuCPF9y5QmILip3BV6hFgEC86tVXlQpcAYpQh80u6Ii8Qev9NBoUq9H8fkXJWq0MCyEG_LL9RnS5LKTtYt4TZFxtVO0Q5Lgj56oCKTIZFCiuA/s640/blogger-image-660792967.jpg"></a></div><br><div>Feel free to high five me!! Ha ha The tutor really liked all the work I had done and was impressed with the fact I had done so much without direction. She is excited too to get me working on her course!! Omg!! I am over the moon, I am having a little trouble actually expressing how excited I am...this may help....</div><div>Eeeeeeeeekkkk!!!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk!!! Eeeeeeeeeeekkk! Ha ha I will be contacted soon as I have a project to do over the summer!! How exciting!! Then I start September!! Omg!! Me studying at university!! Who would of thought that!! And something else that is rather special....Han will be studying at the sam place doing a B A in Fine Art!!! Yes!! She will be doing a degree course too!! How awesome is that!!</div><div>Talking of Han.... Not sure but actually some of you will be aware as I know some are on Facebook and follow me on Instagram too. All of last week Han entered a local radio competition. The object of the competition was to become famous for a whole week! By taking photos with celebrities and videos too! I must say it was a hectic week!! Oh but a lot of fun!! A huge THANK YOU to Kevin as she pushed me about the who,e time in my wheelchair. Here are a few videos Han got....

In fact let me tell you, I did not even know he contacted Kathy!! Apparently jon said he contacted her to ask if he could buy the full kit of her new ensign Bees in the bowers as a gift for me. Sadly Kathy does not ship to England so no kit. Appears Kathy was thrilled Jon, a lovely hubby contacted her, she said she would pop something in the post for me by way of a thank you for him contacting her!! How nice and kind hearted is that!! I knew nothing of this until afterwards!! When the letter arrived with the Kathy aschmitz logo!! I was really excited as well I don't get mail with that on!! When I opened the envelope I was blown away.... Her new design!! Jon then explained the goings on surrounding why I had the chart in my hand! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's true I have an amazing husband, he is so understand and helpful with all my crafting things. He helps out where he can and spends hours searching for things I need or like on the Internet! So I know he reads my blog....Thank you Jon xxxx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCG7zZxJ09sTkDWm5lT3sayoqyloJahe6duch2y7aq5zH4TxKU9_Q8TN5cAK93qnXZtG7XCMrY3NEKvSGpXPVxAmKiK7yNZ_RKD5NhyphenhyphenNx6OoyJ3Ib4zN1M_MriyQiiTinjYdfFM6Vt1bQ/s640/blogger-image-1046771828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCG7zZxJ09sTkDWm5lT3sayoqyloJahe6duch2y7aq5zH4TxKU9_Q8TN5cAK93qnXZtG7XCMrY3NEKvSGpXPVxAmKiK7yNZ_RKD5NhyphenhyphenNx6OoyJ3Ib4zN1M_MriyQiiTinjYdfFM6Vt1bQ/s640/blogger-image-1046771828.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This design is beautiful and I cannot wait to make it!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Well I think your all probably bored of me now and my photos!?

We made it! Ha ha </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I thought I would reflect on 2016 positively then move into 2017 happy! I guess I have been putting this off as for me 2016 was not a good year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Here goes....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2016....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This was, putting it bluntly an awful year for me. Come to think of it, for all my family! From the start right up to the present its been a roller coaster ride. I want to try to keep this looking back to reflect positive but it's hard when you all know how hard it's been for me. This was mainly due to my ongoing health issues. Goodness have I told you all I am fed up of being ill?!? Ha ha probably a lot of times right? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I found out that my left knee is beyond repair, something I have found really hard to accept. Not being able to walk and rely on a wheelchair to get about is soul destroying. But I am thankful that I have a wonderful family, that care about me..and help me too. They won't fix my knee for ....oh too many reasons! I have learnt to deal with that now, with help.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Everyday living with pain is a struggle and for a while I began to sink, oh yes! I was sinking and sinking into depression rather quickly. My wonderful family, jon and Han (and Kevin) helped me so much and I just don't have the words to show how grateful I am to them. Oh but they know!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Over the months Han tried so hard to keep my spirits high, never once putting herself first.... And recently finding out she has fibromyalgia, it's awful from my point of view as I feel so helpless. It was her idea for us to start to go swimming again. A life changer that was!!! Thank you Han!! I really enjoy going to the pool, it's actually quite relaxing. The water takes my weight, as long as it's not too cold I Bob about now for about almost an hour. When we first started going I could only tolerate 5-10 minutes! After the pool it's into the steam room...I LOVE THAT!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The other major thing that's been awful has been my eating....or lack of it! Oh not through my own choice. Developing food allergies has been and still is so hard to cope with. Not being able to eat anything with egg, soya or dairy is a nightmare. But it does not stop there! I don't eat fish or meat either now. I tried oh so hard to try to eat breast chicken for the protein intake... I can eat it, it just does not like me now! Makes me rather ill. Again Han has been amazing here, getting me to try foods and even researching vegan food recipes for me to try.... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What happened? This was supposed to be a happy reflection!! Hmmmm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have tried this year to move more, after being bed bound and stuck in one room for over 16 months. Yes that pesky knee has been a right pain! The pain was so much it literally was too painful to move it. I am not sure what's changed, maybe I am more tollerant to my pain now? Maybe I have will power to want more? Not sure? Saying that though it's not been easy, at first it was one morning out in my wheelchair and 3-4 days in bed with pain. It's a little easier, I do still rest on my bed as its the most comfortabilst place for my leg still. Having the freedom of a wheelchair is awesome! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Not forgetting the amazing moment when I got my electric scooter!! Oh wow!! This was amazing!! It meant I did not have to rely on anyone, I could go out by myself it I wanted to!! Then we bought jon one too.... Freedom for him too!! We can both go out, together if we wish!! It's brilliant!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Oh the best thing that I was thrilled about was being invited to stitch for Hands Across The Sea Samplers. I have always wanted to stitch for a designer, and this year this wish came true!! And oh, the samplers I am stitching are stunning and I am loving every minute, or should that me loving every stitch! Ha ha I feel so lucky to of been given this opportunity.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I think looking back the past year has given me the strength to want more... I do not want to waste my life in pain hurting anymore. Sure I still have to live with pain, I have decided it's not going to control me, I want my life back! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So moving into 2017 I want do something I have only ever dreamt about...something I thought never would happen. I want to do this for me.... I am applying to go and study a university degree in textiles and needlework!! As you all know I pretty much eat sleep and breath anything and everything to do with crafts! Why your wondering? Why not I say!! Your never too old to learn and oh, I so want to! Maybe I will set up my own business at the end of it....that's if I pass the interviews!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What else do I want for 2017? Not a lot really, to reclaim my life back and for more smiles and happiness to return to all my family.

The years are flying by. For some it may not seem long, but this year is our 7th year of marriage. I actually met jon in 2007 and that is shocking too as next year it's 10 years ago!! Wow! We had a lovely evening, we went out for a meal with my parents, Han and Kevin too. I was really nice to go out, I did manage to eat some things as the kitchen where we are we're really accommodating with my allergies.<div><br>
Jon bought me the most amazingly useful present ever!! Go jon!! Something I never thought I would ever be able to do! Crotchet!! Yes, jon bout me a set of crotchet hooks... But let me tell you they are great! See they have a flat bit in the middle of the hook where you hold it..makes things so much easier for me! I had the all round ones and was struggling with them. I took 2 days off stitching, so Christmas Day and Boxing Day I tried out my new crotchet hooks! If you look closely you will see my favoured hook.. The size has been rubbed off! Ha ha <br>

Han suggested I looked on YouTube as no one in our family knows how to crotchet... I found a really lovely person sharing her love of crotchet.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCQEzmjboJ_6-uG8-1j4coNw" target="_blank">HERE</a> is the link to Bella Coco YouTube I have been using to learn how to crochet.... I have looked at quite a few on YouTube previously but never found one I could follow easily. I came across Bella Coco and watched a few posts and then tried to crotchet along with her...it was like a light bulb going off!

It's an amazing design and going to be a massive challenge for me....I can do this, right?! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwD-NLi6_9gBd-TjS2Cop_nZRTi2EAhOWbFKz-fm7iS5vgx-pWoivVf3vgnePT8gnuMOfGbSwxsNj_XEt4x5_NJlJj-UQFKKG3Rwy_BxjgEt40i1uzfQ9KfZ2aB1C1zUWoxuzEDZgysKI/s640/blogger-image-313353384.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwD-NLi6_9gBd-TjS2Cop_nZRTi2EAhOWbFKz-fm7iS5vgx-pWoivVf3vgnePT8gnuMOfGbSwxsNj_XEt4x5_NJlJj-UQFKKG3Rwy_BxjgEt40i1uzfQ9KfZ2aB1C1zUWoxuzEDZgysKI/s640/blogger-image-313353384.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div>A little message to you all.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGAr6aGBlKJeAsZE2KTLRAcb_FTrEzs0vfKAJPOcr8Y6nWndDEUgVIkRnMYK9AJI6WVAMUO7eHtE3D0Iw3MrYwOiX_5vCPi3LDWULvmk5voku4jNmbrDhHEWRHaSr2e2gwiCHENWJqtY/s640/blogger-image-2084122561.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLGAr6aGBlKJeAsZE2KTLRAcb_FTrEzs0vfKAJPOcr8Y6nWndDEUgVIkRnMYK9AJI6WVAMUO7eHtE3D0Iw3MrYwOiX_5vCPi3LDWULvmk5voku4jNmbrDhHEWRHaSr2e2gwiCHENWJqtY/s640/blogger-image-2084122561.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Until I next pop in, take care, smile and ......</div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyPhhb4v4BZW_SAvJN9h1l3K0hJRKizgFqG5b0z6V67anBVBK_884YC3E_RUgOl2Jade37m1-JQ-HB3vQgD3mo7VlBFLi2aYHVvFPpEClCuYSliZEXek92YLiFkEvuj6k7YFeiwyuFlY/s640/blogger-image--172628373.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLyPhhb4v4BZW_SAvJN9h1l3K0hJRKizgFqG5b0z6V67anBVBK_884YC3E_RUgOl2Jade37m1-JQ-HB3vQgD3mo7VlBFLi2aYHVvFPpEClCuYSliZEXek92YLiFkEvuj6k7YFeiwyuFlY/s640/blogger-image--172628373.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Xxxxxxxxx</div><br></div></div>Jacqueline Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12073023544927912656noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510995522873719869.post-31836165914346650602016-12-08T18:07:00.001+00:002016-12-08T18:43:28.880+00:00Eeeeeeeek!!!!<div>

I mean some days I am at a loss what to eat so I can refer back the the planner. I am fine with messing up, I mean I am only human!

Ha ha! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I decided to take photos of each meal, as a log for myself really....so I can look back at a laterstage and think, damn that tasted good! Ha ah saying that, I decided this after I had ate breakfast! Ho hum! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">You will also see I have moved the dinner and lunch, so I eat them the other way around. There is a sensible reason for this... It's so my stomach has something light in, in the evening. Remember I don't move about a lot so lighter the better! I can't take the credit for that idea! Thank you Han! Yes Han is home for the weekend, she says the course she is on at Stanmore hospital is really helping her, I am pleased as its about time she had some real help.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So no photo for breakfast...here is dinner</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's home made mince beef chilli, it has mushrooms, garlic, sweet corn, peppers, kidney beans, 4 other variety of beans, chopped tomatoes, chilli powder and mixed herbs. Had it with some white rice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As you can see this is a small bowl, I actually had two bowls but not one after the other, there was a 4 hour gap! Jon tells me that in the first bowl he gave me he put 2 table spoons of chilli and 1 table spoon of rice. The second bowl some hours later he gave me 1.5 table spoons of chilli and 1 table spoon of rice. It was more than enough! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyLLapWzzNN9GAFozDSugULfc-WfUx43mIYvqO02tPs0_9WjFja9xSyGtWCmfrIB8eIvcYFlMLCdB5QXXap8VPX7BD88S_suc3t7I3W3G0tnXRDgKw3BwJEPLHoZniBfsYYTuIyrUVfA/s640/blogger-image--1802445613.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYyLLapWzzNN9GAFozDSugULfc-WfUx43mIYvqO02tPs0_9WjFja9xSyGtWCmfrIB8eIvcYFlMLCdB5QXXap8VPX7BD88S_suc3t7I3W3G0tnXRDgKw3BwJEPLHoZniBfsYYTuIyrUVfA/s640/blogger-image--1802445613.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lunch...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is basically lettace, tomatoes and one steamed breast of chicken with a herb and paprika salad dressing.

Yes we need a theme! I feel like something different is needed....any suggestions? Basically if you could participate in an exchange what would you want the theme to be? What have you always wanted to make and give to a friend? Curious??! Ha ah let me know what you think? I am thinking any craft too, no matter if it's stitching, sewing, quilting, woodwork, you get the idea! Anything goes!

Quite low and feeling really lost :(<div><br></div><div>Well you all kind of know what's being going on in my life, my health being a major issue! For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my weight. I have been on every diet, health program you can think of over the years! For what ever reason it's easy for me to gain weight but damn hard to lose it! In the past when I have exercised and eaten healthily the most weight in one go I lost was around 4 stone.. Never could lose any more no matter what I did. </div><div><br></div><div>Then when my knee got worse I I became bed bound, yes this almost destroyed me being stuck in bed 24/7 for those 16 months in agony. I am still in pain but now I manage it differently. With help from my family I have been forcing my self to go to the swimming pool, to get out of bed, to move more...each day is a struggle. </div><div><br></div><div>Some time ago I was referred to bariatric surgeons to possibly go down the route of a gastric by pass.... Yes dangerous but my options to lose weight and get my life back are quite slim. It's been a battle with my doctor and hospitals to get any form of help. </div><div><br></div><div>Yesterday I went along to the hospital for an important appointment... To speak with, nurses, dietitians, doctors, anethatists and the surgeons...yes for gastric by pass surgery. Cutting a long story shore basically I am an extremely high risk category with a few reasons why surgery is not suitable. As you all know food is a major issue right now after catching a bug in a hospital last year. And I have not been able to eat...dairy, soya, fish, eggs. These are really important food groups that are needed and me not being able to eat them now is bad enough but thinking ahead after surgery would be dangerous as they fear I would become malnutrished. I found out I cannot eat those foods by a process of illumination as directed by my doctor. I have been on the waiting list to see allergy specialist for about a year now! Thankfully my appointment has come through now and I hope to have confirmation.... It's on 22 December.</div><div><br></div><div>But that's not all they said at the hospital appointment.... Due to me taking blood thinner injections now my risk of developing more clots in my lungs is high. I would have a risk of less than 1 in 100 and for me that risk of dying is a real one. So that and the food issues made the whole idea of having surgery a non starter. </div><div><br></div><div>I cried, yes I cried.... I think I knew that surgery would not be suitable, but I needed some hope as my life, my world was crumbling around me. Being told I could not have the surgery devastated me and I am still feeling really low. </div><div><br></div><div>It's 5.03 am and I have hardly slept, too many things going around my head and I am worried about my future.. Oh wait this just really upset me writing that, I can't see to type, tears rolling down my face.</div><div><br></div><div>I think I am upset as I feel I don't have an options now... </div><div><br></div><div>I am practically eating a vegan diet, not through choice I may add! So later today I think I will try and turn my disappointment into something positive, I will try. I am going to look at myself and have some organisation I think. I am going to write a menu for 7 days, no point doing it for longer as the variety of food I can eat is going to be a stretch just for those 7 days! Maybe with structure in what I eat, getting the right food (protein) and knowing what I am eating will help. It will be hard as it will mean introducing meat, .... And exercise, yes I will continue to go to the pool and steam room, I enjoy this so am not going to stop! </div><div><br></div><div>Story of my life really that no one will help me...so I will have to help myself! Try a little harder I guess, I am not giving up, I want my life back.</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry if you popped in expecting updates on my stitching and other crafts I am doing... My blog is about me, my struggles and what I get up to. If your happy to hear about my and my life as well as what crafts I am doing/creating then thank you for sticking with me! I am in a little hole right now, trying to get myself out of it! </div><div><br></div><div>I should go, try and get some sleep I guess? </div><div><br></div><div>I just looked back at my post and thought well that looks awful.... Ha ah not the writing, the fact I have added no photos and no colours! Very unlike me! </div><div><br></div><div>Until I next pop in....

Han is off on a course run by the hospital (Stanmore) to help her manage her life long condition. Her recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia and other things I forget the names of. Apparently had these conditions a long long time but just now been given the diagnosis..and with that help comes! So on the course she will get help from all kinds of specialists and it will hopefully give her skills and lots of good advice on how to live and cope with her illness. Han will be blogging daily from her hotel, so if you want to pop in on her, her link is in my side bar. She goes Monday.

I don't actually have possession of it, see its on loan to an amazing sampler shop in USA...The Attic!!! Do you know of this wonderful place? Oh I have only seen photos and it looks like a real Aladdin cave of beautiful things. The Attic has a newsletter that comes out regular....here is the link if you want to take a look.... <a href="http://www.atticneedlework.com/Newsletters/2016/20161020_Newsletter-web.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

I thought about getting my hair cut, but at the time I could not as I did a rather silly thing. I was in my wheelchair, somehow my glasses fell off my head and I proceeded to launch myself over the right side of my chair, over the arm to attempt to pick up my glasses. I mean what was I thinking? Hoping to catch them before they hit the floor? Maybe I thought I had super powers! Lol and WHAM! My ribs made contact with the hard arm on my wheelchair.....I almost passed out with the pain. For some 4 weeks after that I was in agony, I mean screaming agony. Any movement and boy did I feel it. We went to A&E to get checked out, they don't x-Ray ribs anymore. They are only really concerned if I was having trouble breathing, I was not so apparently it was normal to be in that much pain! I could of badly bruised or fractured one or a few ribs! Thankfully now several weeks later I am feeling much better, but still taking things a little slower just to be sure! Anyway....back to the hair cut! Ha ha which I still not had, but want to soon! I found this picture on the web under the search short haircuts! ...no idea who she is? But I like her hair!! </div>

Thought I would share something that is important to me when I am stitching.... Probably to you too? <div><br></div><div>So the title of this post is "What's in your bag"? Curious? No ha ha I am not going to be showing you the contents of my handbag! But I dare say that may be rather funny, see I have some odd things in there that you would probably not expect!

Now I have tried many over the years and the one I keep going back to is the q snap or R&r frame as they are known here in England. I have all the sizes and switch between them regularly. I know a lot of Stitchers use the millennium frames, oooooh yes! I would like to try one, to see if I like using it. The q snap is my favourite because it's light weight, not sure how heavy the millennium frame is? </div><div>Here is my tiny frame I like to use when stitching small motifs...</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjX3Blzxxkgq5fMYl17s84QsvZ0IHZmu2usMvAM3nd0Im5fYRqYf_nZfz064AwztsZDMU9ut13Z2612I9yI4Y-n-XDDDiKN9IxivZrhd8ieqHWqPIkdXEXt6xb577bX9iRaFJK1iYc1mM/s640/blogger-image--2020517015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjX3Blzxxkgq5fMYl17s84QsvZ0IHZmu2usMvAM3nd0Im5fYRqYf_nZfz064AwztsZDMU9ut13Z2612I9yI4Y-n-XDDDiKN9IxivZrhd8ieqHWqPIkdXEXt6xb577bX9iRaFJK1iYc1mM/s640/blogger-image--2020517015.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Oooooh and look what's behind!? It's thelittle project bag I use to keep small essentials in! It's a wonderful Blue Ribbon Designs project bag... I adore it πππ I like things that help me in what I am doing, they also need to be comfortable too. I use clip on magnifiers, who ever invented these, amazing! When stitching on 40 count linen they are a must!! Oooooh scissors... Well for years and years I used the gold stork ones everyone is familiar with. Then I was introduced to sajou scissors.... Oooooh! They are beautiful, I only and I mean only use them for cutting threads and silks. They cut like a knife sliding through butter... And the little square book like thing at the front is a little needle case... Lol we all need needles! </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEF_Ux418TlQMQj0PrvtEH2-Hu61cU2lmaFzzTKh1W70NU2Q8rWQereKS6aOiwZXDH4_S6xAzuxypIMlBtSaIqXmYVdA47ps8TgdGOHQWkqPxCrF0OR1QQquRIrYi4r0bxOuYTtObLC0/s640/blogger-image-1741808002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEF_Ux418TlQMQj0PrvtEH2-Hu61cU2lmaFzzTKh1W70NU2Q8rWQereKS6aOiwZXDH4_S6xAzuxypIMlBtSaIqXmYVdA47ps8TgdGOHQWkqPxCrF0OR1QQquRIrYi4r0bxOuYTtObLC0/s640/blogger-image-1741808002.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Talking of needles, now I still after all these years stitching have no clue on what needle to use for what fabric. I just don't understand the sizing of them all.... So what do I use or do I bet your wondering? I use what fits for me! I don't like using thick needls, I test them on the fabric I am using, if it makes the whole bigger it's not right. The needle I am currently using is loved! Not sure what I would do if I lost it? Not sure where I would get a replacement from as I have no clue what size it is!!

My poor iPad.</div><div><br></div>Omg! After the distress of my iPad smashing I then had to deal with our home insurance fiasco.... Now we have pretty good home insurance and personal cover so I thought everything would be alright sorting out the technicalities regarding my iPad. Hmmmmm appears that yes it was covered, awesome! We had an excess to pay.... Pretty standard no issues there. I was so frustrated when told we had a further excess due to the item being an iPad! Really??? Hmmm here is the break down....<div><br></div><div>My original cost of iPad. ....... Β£420.00</div><div>Excess on policy....................Β£100.00-</div><div>iPad special excess...............Β£100.00-</div><div>Cost of new iPad...................Β£349.00</div><div>Money to me.........................Β£149.00!</div><div><br></div><div>The cost of the new iPad is what an iPad Air costs currently in the apple shop.... So the replacement cost. Taking off my horrendous excess I am only owed Β£149.00 to buy a new iPad! I was not happy let me tell you!! </div><div><br></div><div>I bet your wondering what I did as I am back on line!? After distressing myself further wondering what to do....jon came up with a solution. My pc got plugged back in! Yes I have a rather large touch screen pc, it's brilliant but currently have no where to put it or use it. It did in fact get set up, I was online shortly, enough for Han to recover all the passwords I needed for everywhere I frequent online! Thank you Han!! I was only going to use my pc as a temporary measure as I literally forgot how to use it! Sounds silly even crazy right? But with my splds I find things easier the more times I do it over and over.... iPad goo! PC, not good! Lol </div><div><br></div><div>It just was not feasible right now for me to go out and buy a new iPad.... Oh I would love one!! Just not in the budget now! So after me half heartedly coming to terms with not having an iPad Han came up with the most amazing idea! Go Han!! </div><div><br></div><div>When I bought my iPad I bought Han one too, only hers was white and mine was black! For hans birthday in my you may recall we bought Han the iPad Pro with the pencil she wanted....oh and she loves it! I don't think I have seen a single day that she has not been on it drawing! No I don't have her iPad Pro! Lol she said I could have her small pad (same as my smashed one!) due to it technically actually being mine since I bought it! Awesome! So Han wiped all her things off it, thankfully she could transfer all my things on my smashed iPad via iTunes and voila! I am back!! </div><div><br></div><div>I use my iPad for everything, and I become quite attached to things...when it smashed I literally cried. All is well now as I am happy again using another iPad. And to prevent a further smashed episode jon bought me an otter box to protect my iPad! I love otter box, I have one on my iPhone.... Lol my brick as its affectionately known! I have a 3GS iPhone I will not change as I know it and it does fine! It's protected with an otter box and has years of life in it! Safe as houses! </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKejDzekvbP7MHxDW8052CYYJdoXjS6oN2kbERujodDvZ7UF6k3IbeeAnWAJy8kMDRrnO5EexPmV3d1k5HN6SkgOuwufDe536mK10FnWB07xNEHKKJ_ETted_ARF0sjzOLTDFiz8a9GBk/s640/blogger-image--1424540096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKejDzekvbP7MHxDW8052CYYJdoXjS6oN2kbERujodDvZ7UF6k3IbeeAnWAJy8kMDRrnO5EexPmV3d1k5HN6SkgOuwufDe536mK10FnWB07xNEHKKJ_ETted_ARF0sjzOLTDFiz8a9GBk/s640/blogger-image--1424540096.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYnw15XEZXjAWUOgnGTUVU-NIwuzqkuwQ0WfVwEa05oMV-UrxLUPDRIwjAPIcKUc66BI3iT4hpIToPZBJKjb8l430vKFj-cZA4Pr60UIhrCaPTtNhyphenhyphenfx1rxywWx5akF8mW_EF2BhqXKo/s640/blogger-image-123831310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYnw15XEZXjAWUOgnGTUVU-NIwuzqkuwQ0WfVwEa05oMV-UrxLUPDRIwjAPIcKUc66BI3iT4hpIToPZBJKjb8l430vKFj-cZA4Pr60UIhrCaPTtNhyphenhyphenfx1rxywWx5akF8mW_EF2BhqXKo/s640/blogger-image-123831310.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Yeah!

Here is a photo...it's very colourful, I put mushrooms in it too! tasted good too!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfhbSCX1cvuz1r-vCQMnKRXdgQfwvkniGTU6QhA3SAxMgVhihEJJ957ucZh-ISCWbZMpJBaY9R057WdT9Hr5Q2kAycjNUd4js_OFpz9dV1yZdwvHHex9xanza8DRk2mNbrXxyufYB7tM/s640/blogger-image--293693533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfhbSCX1cvuz1r-vCQMnKRXdgQfwvkniGTU6QhA3SAxMgVhihEJJ957ucZh-ISCWbZMpJBaY9R057WdT9Hr5Q2kAycjNUd4js_OFpz9dV1yZdwvHHex9xanza8DRk2mNbrXxyufYB7tM/s640/blogger-image--293693533.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>It was fine to eat, too much so ate it slowly over a bit of time. It frustrates me no end being so restricted with what I eat, I just want to eat how I used to... Gosh even that feels so long ago! </div><div><br></div><div>It's crazy checking and looking at every bit of packaging what I eat... Here is the list of things I can't have...it's shocking and quite long...</div><div><br></div><div>ALL dairy products</div><div>Soya</div><div>Egg</div><div>Meat</div><div>Celery</div><div>Oil</div><div>Fish (tuna is ok for now!)</div><div>Yeast (currently under investigation with wheat.... A seeded bread with nothing in it made me really poorly recently so we are looking at this now) </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I have reacted one way or another from everything on this list.... Since watching what I eat now the nausea I felt day in day out has gone! Bonus!! But literally even a hint of something on that list makes me ill or brings me out in a rash all over my neck and face and if bad actually starts to affect my wind pipe! It's very scary. I still cannot believe when looking at packaging how much dairy is in things, if not dairy then it's soya... And egg! I physically cannot eat enough protein, it's my biggest problem. The lady that comes to weigh me regular (yes my weight is going down all the time... I will let you know how much on her next visit) says because of the nutrients and vitamins i am lacking I am malnourished ... Crazy I know! So if anyone out there knows of a product/bar anything I can eat... (Checking the list of doom) I will buy it!! Even if I have to ship it from timbucktoo! Lol</div><div><br></div><div>Well enough about me! Not mush stitching shown on here lately .... Sorry! See I am doing a rather large project for Hands AcrossThe Sea Samplers. (Link in border) it's so pretty and I am loving stitching it, it's really helped me though the tough ill days, it's my ray of happiness! I will very very soon be able to share it with you all as I have alsmost finished it...honest! </div><div><br></div><div>Until I next pop in, keep smiling πππ</div>Jacqueline Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12073023544927912656noreply@blogger.com11
