Mooloo's little tapestry of life, 2016

Give up.
She's been sick again.
That's 5 times in 3 hours.
I think I will just get up after all.

Brought work home to do, with dgd dozing on the sofa, and me sewing.
I have shortened two pairs of curtains, a skirt, sewed 8 badges on for a military lad, taken in a coat, repaired the rip in another coat, repaired the pocket of another coat.

I think it's time for me to have a rest.
Dgd hasn't been sick for about three hours now.

I had a cuppa and went back to the sewing. Did everything I brought home to do. It took me until 6.45 pm.
Dgd hasn't been sick since lunchtime but has slept on and off on the sofa all day.
We have to keep her home another 24 hours before she can go back to school so she missed her school concert tonight.
I am in bed and hopefully will get some sleep tonight.

.

It might depend on the school but most say 48 hours from the last episode of vomiting. Might be worth double check otherwise she won't be back till Friday

They can have her back at 12 noon then!
Cos I need to work!
I have had a decent sleep for once. Although I did wake a few times that's normal for me.
Dgd has just come bouncing into my room saying she feels loads better. So I won't be getting any peace today.
Luckily I did all the sewing I had brought home yesterday and didn't leave any for today to do.
I plan to sort out our clothes for the holidays as dgd needs a suitcase packed to go to her Mums and I need to sort mine out as Mum and I are sharing a suitcase in the hold.
Cup of tea time first as usual.

I have not started on the clothes - yet. But I will.
I have studied some of my Motivation course.
I have dyed my hair, had a bath, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen and hoovered the front room.
I have put the sewing back in the car ready to take back to work.
Dgd is much better and she has started to draw, and play. Which is good.
My Monkey is getting back to normal.
I am watching Kirsty's Handmade Christmas with a cuppa and will get on with the other jobs in a bit.
Not that I have to decorate the table etc this year.
I just felt I wanted to feel the Christmas vibe for the uplifting feeling that Christmas should be bringing.

Back to work today.
I had a gentle day at home yesterday and I slowed time, and enjoyed it.
I did sort out the clothes and which suitcases for who. I relaxed, and wrote a lot of my thoughts down in my diary.
Considering my friend and I have parted company I am fairly well unlike breakups in the past.
I am looking forward to reviewing my goals, which are often revised and tweaked but as we are coming up to the end of the year it seems more important than ever that I make changes etc and look forward to the next year or two ahead with optimism and enthusiasm.

I did not succeed with all my goals this year, the debt has certainly grown at the moment, but I feel as if I dealt better with life's curved balls this year.
In 2017 I have a lot to look forward to.
In February Mum and I are going to the Textile trade show and staying overnight in Birmingham.
In April Dgd and I are going back to Portugal.
In June Biggest will be getting Married.
In September my 3 year lease will be up, and I will have decided what to do with the next few years.
I will probably have a holiday again with Mum if she is up to it, she will be 81 in February.
2017 may be a game changer or a year of change, who knows but I will be living my life as best I can and looking for the joy and gratitude that will be with me all the way.
The SAD better watch out as I am finding techniques to battle with it.
I am sitting with my lamp here as I write this and I turn my face into the sun At every opportunity.
When life throws me the next curve ball I might even manage to catch it and send it back!

Savvy_sewing

Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad one, but I have actually done all the work in that I can.
Correction just had a huge order of alterations and a swimming costume to make!

duchy

I'm really glad the lamp is helping

The plan as staff left yesterday was that she comes in an hour later and manages the shop, I go in until 12 and then as we had no work I come home to do more personal things, and go back for a fitting booked in for 4pm.
However with the gypsy dropping off several items to be done ASAP I will have probably got work to do that will take me past 12 now.
I have a birthday party booked in tomorrow as well as my little girls so I also have the workshop to prepare.
I did not get to see my brother because they were so full of the cold etc so it will be February before he comes back from France again.
However my Sister has now arrived from France and will be staying with Mum for a week ( mum didn't sound too thrilled and said they have been warned that she doesn't cook!) unfortunately my sister is not very good at cooking ( although she thinks she is), so Mum is not looking forward to the next few days.
I am however looking forward to my Saturday night curled up in a dressing gown and slippers and a blanket over my knee instead of cooking a meal and dressing up for my friend as would have been the norm.
(And if I don't want to defuzz my legs I won't have to either!!!)
Such joy to look forward too.
