Nearly Crying...

OH My Gawd... 

just tried to get into my blog and it was coming up as someone totally different, 

wouldn't even let me sign in???????????

But I put my big girl blouse on, didn't cry and tried again and again...

with success /o\ /o\/o\

BUT....

that wasn't what I was going to post about...

I have been off the radar for the past 10 days as we had a Grandie in hospital

 and I had a Grandie here to look after...

The baby, 8 month old Lawson, had cellulitis in his right hand, 

was blown up like a rubber glove... 

so he spent 3 days in PMH on an intravenous drip with Mum by his side... 

Dad had just flown out that morning to the oil rig for work...

There was no cut or scratch or bite to tell 3 doctors why it happened and they were very reluctant to start cutting.... 

but he is all well now and had an extra seven day course of antibiotics...

Mum and the two boys went home today and our home is so very quiet ;( :(

Before the break in transmission I had been working on the applique pieces

today I did some of the hand stitching on the faces

I need to buy some green cotton to applique the leaves... 

I don't have anything that is suitable at all...

next I will need to start on the other half of the quilt top...

I haven't done one stitch or cutting out of the The Splendid Sampler...

I have been printing out the patterns though... now that life is back to normal I can get a bit of sewing done.............
