Welcome to a slow stitcher and vintage lovers blog where all things are possible and whimsical. Creating is in my soul and so is treasure hunting for gorgeous old fabrics, buttons, linens & threads. There is something about truffling at vintage fairs for beautiful haberdashery and fabric. I adore the seasons, the hygge & cosy of Winter, the awakening of Spring, the changes of colours and crunching of leaves in Autumn and the bees, butterflies and ocean sounds of Summer. Enjoy XX

Hello and Happy Weekend.
Good Morning All
Well as you all may have guessed I have been right royal poorly with flu and a dreadful cough and cold. I tried to go out this week for a little while but the cold air just made me start to cough all the more!
I am feeling better than I was but extremely tired I am afraid. I have not picked up a needle in weeks which is so unlike me, however I am hoping to get some done next week.
I have so much to do and hate being ill - its such a waste of time I feel. I have preparations for Christmas to be getting on with and getting ready for my friend Jo who comes every two years from OZ .... Eeeeek!
The trick is I feel not to over do it and just do some jobs daily then early afternoon sit down and do some stitching to feel I am back at work.
I have missed some great vintage fairs on this years calenders and I am really sad about that. Today is the Christmas Vintage Bazaar in Devizes from 9 until 3 so if any of you can make it then it will be wonderful. I am hoping that by next weekend I will be able to attend the Sarah Moore Christmas pop up fair at her beautiful farm house in West Sussex but I will have to see.....
I have stopped work for publication this year and will resume in 2016, I am having a few weeks off for Christmas to spend with Jo and to be able to organise my self for next years punishing diary commitments....
I feel since my holiday in October the weeks have flown by and I have had this cough etc for 9 weeks which is very draining. I have some new cough mixture and it seems to be working so fingers crossed for me peeps...
Wanting to get on I have written some lists and one of the things to do is get some project baskets ready for next year. Whilst I have been recuperating I have been sketching new designs and I am pleased with the results.
So hopefully next week I will have some good blogs again for you all to read until I stop for the festive season.
Thank you to those of you who have messaged me I have been over whelmed with your caring words and a special thank you to Jenny of Tilly D fame who contacts me regularly to see how I am and if anything is needed ... Thank you Jenny you have been a great friend and helping me at the October VB when I felt so ill.
Anyway I hope you are all well out there and keeping flu free so take good care and have a great weekend and of course Happy Stitching! xx

Oh poor you I hope you feel better very soon. When your friend gets here you will be able to forget about the flu and get on with having a good natter. I cannot believe it is November already and Christmas is just around the corner and I have not done anything I wanted to do!

Thank you Julie .. Yes it's been awful. I went to London dosed up on tablets for a night and day. Whilst it was lovely it put me back weeks because it got worse so I have literally not been to anything. I feel I am over it apart from tired and a cough that refused to go! X
