HQAL – Late Post

Hello Everybody

Well this is a very late post and my apologies to everyone.

Their is a very good reason why I missed the posting date. My mother fainted and hit her head on the stool causing a nasty 2 inch gash. She went to hospital and my younger brother stayed with her all night as they were keeping her in for observation. I was worrying from a distance with text going back and forth. My older brother (both brothers live at home still), took over from my younger brother and brought mother home later that day. This all happened on the Sunday/Monday hence no post. Visited her on Thursday and she was still seeing flashing lights and sprinkling like snow. We managed some knitting and talked about things but on Friday I received another call from my younger brother who said she was worse again so I said he needed to get her back to hospital. Many tests on eyes later she was dispatched with some eye drops and we were to keep an eye on her (no pun intended). She consequently has two problems – one they want to measure her heart to see why the heart misses a beat. This would be a small operation to insert a micro monitor under the skin with two probes going into the heart. The second problem could be leading to a detached retina – not at that stage yet though. Mother is thinking about the heart thing.

Well I can now post that I finished the September Block – not ironed yet – and started the October Block. Here are some photos …

One of my Christmas Presents was a Gypsy Wool Pressing Mat – haven’t used it yet but blogs and youtube channels I watch have all said a pressing mat is a good addition to the sewing room so hopefully my stitchwork will look better when I iron it.

Well that is all for now.

Again Apologies for my tardiness.
