Still going

At the moment I have a sick little girl on my lap.  Her temperature is 39 degrees C, and she refuses to have any medicine to reduce it.  She's been whiney and unbelievably clingy all day - I should have known she was unwell.  Instead I just got annoyed.  Now who's feeling stink!

Now to the SAL.  Well, I haven't finished yet I'm afraid. And I must confess that it won't be completed before the end of the year.  Please don't remove me from the blog though Chookyblue - I am still working away at it when I can.  I started cutting the strips yesterday, so I am getting there, albeit very slowly.

i must go and tend to my little angel. It's 9.30pm and I'm sweating like crazy under her hot little body.  I think it's going to be a long night.  Yay.

Best wishes to everyone.
Helen

So sorry to hear about your little one Helen!! Hoping she'll get better quickly!!! ... And good on you to get to where you're at atm! I'm no where near up to cutting my strips yet - though, admittedly I'm just aiming atm to get the blocks done! The rest is just window dressing that won't take as much time as the needlework and stitchery! :) Wishing you a wonderful New Year!! ... and looking forward to seeing your growing quilt!!
