It is time for a little whine and a moan. I lost my voice last Tuesday- mid class it went from singing and talking to whispering in 10 minutes. The strangest experience, I have lost my voice before but not without warning. It was the last class of the morning and I thought I would rest up and it would return. Hmm, Sunday, running a temperature, a mountain of tissues and wondering about how next week will be. Two very welcome parcels this week though. I did a fabric swap with Charise- what lovelies she sent, vintage in there as well as modern. I can only fantasise about her great her fabric stash is.
I have got to know Charise via Flickr and admiring her creations...take a minute to look at this. See what I mean! Thankyou Charise!
I was also lucky enough to win a giveaway at Wynn's ZakkaArt blog. She has recently posted a tutorial for a lovely patchwork bag- see the links here. A beautiful stack of 4 fat quarters in pretty colours, gorgeous and soft. Thankyou Wynn!
So I am sniffing, snuffling and croaking away. Other crappy things this week: my phone broke- life without my Blackberry is sadly a bit hard, there is a magic man nearby who is fixing it for a small fee, hoepfully back by Thursday. The mouse on my computer bust, and my laser printer packed up too. My head has not been up to speed either- I tried to dial my own phone number today, and numerous pans have been burnt, water left on etc. A costly week.
Normal service will be resumed soon. I was meant to be seeing Ben Howard play tonight, too poorly to go, I've sold my tickets and made someone else and her daughter very happy, so I'll leave you with this and stop the whinge. I'll be better soon and I will try and feel 'gracious' too.
Dear, dear... Reading the blog I must conclude you have every right to moan and even whine. Nothing better for feeling poorly than a good moan. Hopefully someone is there with you to spoil you with tea and honey and fresh tissues! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you are sick Kerry...I am too! I have a miserable sore throat and can't talk as a result and I am congested. I hope we both rebound quickly!
ReplyDeleteOh no, on the bright side things can only get better! Hope you are soon back in fine voice and feeling well!

You have every right to moan whine, cry, snif or anything else it takes to make you feel better. It's just a bit of a horrid time to get through.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse though ...
Get well soon!
Awe, sorry you're poorly, hope ou bounce back soon, in the mean time, take a load off and rest! You clearly need it :)
ReplyDeletewhat a crummy time for you! I hope you are on the mend soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! When I was doing theatre we would often steep ginger in tea when we were losing our voices. maybe that would help? Can't help with the others except to say that curling up with a good book or a sweet sewing project lifts my spirits immeasurably. Hope you're feeling better soon! xoxox
ReplyDeleteoh dear it's one of those weeks!
ReplyDeleteTry not to do too much and let others take care of you as much as possible. I hope you'll feel better soon. If you need to vent you know where to find me! xx
Oh dear what a week! Hope you feel better soon. My other half woke up last Sunday and had completely lost his voice. No warning of imminent lurgy :-(
ReplyDeleteNice bits of fabric. I'm sorry you are feeling bad. I'm sure you'll be up to speed when you feel better. Just be nice to yourself.
ReplyDeleteOh Kerry!! Might as well get it all out of the way in one horrible go, and then come out fighting fit after some enforces time out. Big hugs and Horlicks xx
ReplyDeleteEnforces? Enforced! x
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Good things must be on the way after all that bad luck :) xx
ReplyDeleteAwww sorry to hear you're poorly...hope you're on the mend now. Great fabric booty though! x
ReplyDeleteI hope you`ll get better very soon!

ReplyDeleteI hope you are already on the way to recovery. So sorry you had to miss the concert! I went to Charise's blog. Wow--amazing! You two are paper piecing geniuses! Nice swap. I have the kerchief girls in nearly every color but red. SO hard to find that color.
ReplyDeletewow, Kerry, that pile o'fabric from Charise is wonderful! You really did score, I can only imagine what you sent to her though! I'm sorry to hear you were feeling so sick, I was in the same boat and am feeling 98% better now. Glad to hear youre doing better too!
