I was a little slow to start but took part in Friday Night with Friends sewing last night as hosted by Cheryll from Gone Stitchin. Pop over to say hi, check out Chez's sewing for charity, her brilliant new quilting tool & to link to the 60 others stitchers who too part in our sew-fest.

As I said, I was slow to start but as I was home & footy is now on in Perth on a Friday night at 4.30 pm (don't get me started, this is way before I am normally home from work!) at least I started early and as is my way finished late. I saw the Doctor late afternoon & the lady at the Pharmacy gave me my script & said to me 'I hope your going home to bed now', to which I replied, 'yes, footy starts soon.' As I'm walking out, she's laughing & saying 'oh, no, that sounds like a fate worst than death' - maybe not the best statement to make in a pharmacy to sick people! It wasn't a bad fate - loved the game & thank goodness, after the debacle that was round 1 tipping, I got the tip right & the margin almost spot on too. (Aren't you pleased it is only Round 2 - you are going to get this footy obsession roller coaster ride of raving for the next six months!)
Back to stitching, I started a new stitchery, tracing the design, picking a key fabric & matching some threads to it. It's secret squirrel sewing but here's a peek of what I accomplished.
Later in the night I did the final binding on another secret squirrel project. Good thing it was only binding as I had to have my wits about me as Jeremy Wade & I again entered the wilds of Guyana in search of the RIVER MONSTERS. That makes our 5th encounter for the week. I almost shed a tear at the end when they said the scale taken from the massive fish caught gave DNA that proved it was a new species of that fish until then unknown to science & never before seen. It's been a great week Jeremy but next week hopefully it's back to work and you will have to shoulder the weight of catching big fishies for the world's enjoyment on your own! (Before you ask - yes I am still running a temperature so hallucinations may have played a part in the last week.... only that can explain why I watched my first ever episode of The Bachelor too).
So as you can see, it's been a big week, big night & I've done some big stitches. Check out what our sewing friends have been up too, I'm almost certain there will be beautiful things to see & many blogs where sanity reins supreme!
Remember - any advice on catching the big one, ask me how!

Um ..... hmmm ...... how is that fever going now? lol hugs
ReplyDeleteHope the fever's eased off lol,hallucinations are funny things and seem so real at the time :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteNice stitches to make you feel better.
ReplyDeleteHope Saturday has been better.
Do hope you are feeling much better sew you can do some more lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteThe peek at the stitching looks great, and hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLove the little peek at your stitching.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least some lovely stitching is coming from such ghastly TV; that's more than it usually generates. 8) Not that I can talk, mind you, since I once watched the whole of the first two seasons of Ice Road Truckers! lol I always wondered what exactly people DID in the wilds of the Canadian north; now I know. And you've learned about a whole new species of fish. See, TV is highly educational. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling completely well very soon.

PS I enjoy hearing about your footy. Which team do you favor? I seem to recall you cheering for a Kiwi team, was it the Blacks? Please forgive my ignorance. I am a Green Bay Packer fan, born and bred, for the other kind of football. My husband is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, but we don't clash, since fortunately they rarely play each other. Sadly our season won't start until August. :(
Just loved the peeks at the projects and I am loving the colours that you are using. I love footy too, but cuss at the ref and get looks from my husband so I go away to my craft room and watch there! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe peeks are lovely, hope you fee better soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better. Nice stitches on your peeks,
ReplyDeleteWell slow and steady wins the slice... mint slice that is. Thanks for enjoying some with me at FnwF too...
ReplyDeleteGreat sewing :)
Nice stitching.
ReplyDeleteLove stitching while watching the football too, unless my team is playing then I can't seem to stitch straight!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, does sound like your fever influenced youTV choices. Made me smile. Hope you feel 100per cent fit and well soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching and I love your colour choices. It was lovely of Jeremy to be there for you in your time of need :) More interesting at least than informercial-nonsense
ReplyDeletesome lovely secret sewing Tracee. Love the colours! I hope you are on the mend quickly.
ReplyDeleteLovely Tracee...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I cannot excuse my husband by saying he has a fever. To say I wish a 'river monster' would get that guy is an understatement. I think we have had the same number of encounters. Lol. Your stitching is looking lovely however.So sorry you have been unwell Tracee. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
Lovely combination - stitching and footie...can't go
ReplyDeletewrong!! Lovely stitching by the way.
Cheers, Anita.
I am surprised you can concentrate on stitching while the footy is on. Hope your fever goes soon. I love the look of the secret project.
ReplyDeletemay I suggest a cold face washer on the forehead Tracee??!!! lol Nothing like a good dose of madness every once in a while!!! Footy fever?? well that's a different story....that's definitely allowed!
ReplyDeleteLoving your secret stitching girl....very impressive!!!
xox sugary hugs
Wendy :O)
I recommend a tot of brandy before bed - works wonders! Lovely stitching.
ReplyDeleteOMG Tracee - THE Bachelor??? - stay away my friend! Next thing you will be watching my fave, The Bold & The Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I don't feel so bad that if you are watching River Monsters, then I am ok to watch Swamp People, I love that show!!
