First of all, I want to thank everyone that left me a comment and/or sent me an email about my last post and about my mysterious pain; I really appreciate your thoughts and advice and I’m sure it has contributed to my feeling much better emotionally today, even if I still feel pretty crap physically.
I discovered yesterday that hanging out with Le Punk in the play/craft room, playing podcast upon podcast and slowly, very slowly, cutting out patterns and fabric, agreed with me. I actually forgot about the pain for a while and sort of zoned out… bliss! A bit more of the same today and I have finished my swap gift – it certainly brought the sun out here today and I am stupidly happy with how it turned out considering my situation right now, my swapee will be lucky if it makes it to the mail…
I can show it to you now because it’s intended recipient has no idea who she is, but I certainly hope she likes it! I am just going make or round up a couple more spring-type things to go with it and I will send it off – a little parcel of sunshine to herald the coming of long-awaited Spring.
For the peeps playing along with my swap, here is a little flickr group to upload your outgoing goodies and your incoming sunshine, so we can all “ooooh!” and “aaahhhh!”.
Glad to hear that you're feeling a little bit better!

ReplyDeleteI had insane pain this last go round with my pregnancy. It really is mentally draining on top of everything else. I hope you can feel all the hugs coming at you to help lessen the pain.
Happy that you're feeling better and able to take you mind of that rotten pain. I reckon that fabric has medicinal qualities that have yet to be documented by medical science. Also, the amount of money I have spent on fabric is far less than I may have spent on visiting any medical specialist...at least that's the story I keep telling the MATH.
