Dragon Rambles

So, back in Jan, after a break over Christmas, I’d just started back working on the farmer’s wife quilt. I got one block done and a second cut out but not sewn together, so the block count was 23.

Then life interrupted. Fast forward to the beginning of April and me suffering from a nasty case of jet lag. I was too tired to knit or sew, but needed to do something. So I cut out pieces for a nice little bundle of blocks, packing away the pieces into envelopes.

The Easter long weekend helped to clear my jet lag, and by the end of it I had started sewing again. Yes there were still some episodes of sewing the wrong seam and having to undo it, but a bit each day through to the end of the next weekend, and I had an extra 7 blocks done.

Putting me at the grand total of 30 blocks. Still a long way from the 111 total, but a nice little pile all the same. Sorry Nicki, I know we were doing these together and we’ve both had a largeish hiatus, but now I seem to have galloped ahead. I should probably go work on Moonglow until you pick yours up again. Well, maybe after I’ve finished emptying the envelopes of precut pieces

Thanks everyone for your kind comments on my last post. At first I wasn’t sure about posting about it here, but decided I needed a tribute to Granny.

I’ve been home for 1.5 weeks now, but I’ve been battling with the worst case of jet lag I’ve ever had. Hardly surprising though given I flew around the world with just 2.5 days in Auckland. But I don’t think it’s just the jet lag that’s had me so exhausted. I’m sad and probably a little depressed, and I expect I will be for a while. So please forgive my infrequent posting or blog commenting for a while. But when I’m sad and tired I usually like to withdraw from the world a bit. Hopefully I’ll be back to my old self soon.
