Some Mojo back....

Hi All

I know I have not posted in a while, life went a tad pear shaped for a couple of months in June after I had a rush trip to hospital to have my gall bladder out.  Was all quite  shock and it has taken me a while to get my mojo back and into gear.  While I am still behind with most things, I am starting to make progress again, albeit slow.

Here are my blocks, and I am longing to get to the sewing machine and actually do some sewing.  Maybe I just might get some of the wee blocks made at the weekend.

 
Yes, still a way to go with the stitching, but a lot of the blocks just need the writing sewing in.  There is some good tv coming up over the weekend, so I just might put my feet up for a while and try not to feel guilty at some of the chores I still have to do.
 
Loving all the progress you have all made and think the finished products are amazing.

Your blocks are looking lovely. It sounds like you've had a pretty rough time of it so I'm sure you deserve plenty of feet up and stitch time while you recover.

I'm sure a day or two of stitching will help soothe your soul - if not your body...
