Confined to bed rest once AGAIN! After a necessary root canal operation at the Day Hospital I am restricted to two days "rest" , which under the OGO's interpretation of instructions from the dentist, means either time in bed or time in my lounge chair!
Thank goodness for a thoughtful son who provided his father with the gift of an iPad 18 months ago. Time to surf the web and time looking through Pinterest without that feeling of guilt I usually have. Also time to work on all my
new hand stitching projects that I wasn't going to start.
At the moment I have four "new" projects and three older PIPs (Projects in Progress) hand stitching projects sitting on my work table. There are also two quilts in progress that I will return to once over my "confinement". Two days of hand stitching might just get one project finished and ready to piece together on the machine.
Recently spent time going over my blog posts and realised there are a few projects that I finished last year before Christmas that I had not shared on my blog. As the original idea for setting up this blog was a journal of projects I had been working on during the year I decided to add a page with photos of completed projects for 2014. If you would like to view that page it is on the menu bar below the blog title.

Work in the Woman's Cave has been slow this past ten days as I have been spending time 'training' the OGO in setting up his own blog. After seeing the EXCELLENT job I have done with our travel blog (and this blog), and a little encouragement from me, he decided he needed a personal blog to show off his photographic talents. So
'RoCs World in Photos' was created for public sharing. We think his blog will complement our travel blog with more photos of the wildlife and landscapes we see on our adventures. Now that I have promoted the OGO's blog, back to my own.
Last month I decided to try and start on my Christmas gift list. So far I have spent more time getting ideas from library books and Pinterest than I have making the items. But I have managed to finish a lovely cushion cover this week using the disappearing nine patch technique. As I haven't yet decided who to give it to, I thought I could share it with you.

Thought I would also share the other small projects that I have started, despite vowing no more until I had completed the older PIPs. My excuse is that I need lots of hand stitching projects to take with us when we leave for the NP in May --- oh, and for our train adventure in April!!! Haha.
Until next time, happy stitching.
