Last night was FNSI. I joined, not sure if I would be able to do much sewing as my son had an op yesterday and an overnight stay in hospital, so I had our GS staying with us. Pleased to say that my son came through okay and is now home resting. I dropped him off and after being told he should be back in the ward by 4.30pm, was a little uneasy when told he was still in theatre when I rang. Having worked as an Enrolled nurse for a number of years, I know things don't always run to schedule but it doesn't make the waiting any easier, so I was relieved when he finally got to the ward by 7.00pm. Needless to say sewing wasn't on my mind but I eventually did get to do a little hand sewing on a Secret Santa present which I am taking to my bloggers Xmas meet tomorrow. I must admit it was only the label but still, talk about last minute.
If you would like to go over to Wendy's and check out what everyone else got up to, just click on the logo same as above and found in my side-bar to get there. Thank you Wendy for again hosting.
Also this week, my last two Pay It Forward gifts have arrived at there destinations. Below are the gifts I sent to Terry in the USA.
A Table Topper , a 2014 calendar, 2 Aussie fat 1/4's, a Gail Pan pincushion pattern, thread and a Raggety Ann cushion.
My other gift went to Cheryll in NSW.
As Cheryll has become a new Nanna this year, I made her a wall hanging for her sewing room to celebrate. A small thread catcher, some chocolate and a Glamping charm pack as well.
I have really enjoyed choosing and making these gifts for my three Pay It Forward ladies.
Well that's it from me tonight. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Till next time...............
