Winter break-24 – extra work and resting was the plan, part 1.

Monday 26th. It started good, after two weeks of back issues. It beame a beautiful day after the Sun came and the SFO-kids ripped of there winter jackets because of there play in the sunshine. We had BBQ after that I manage to make a BBQ fire and the kids was super hungry. They didn’t have time to wait for the real good part of the BBQ-fire ^^haha^^ I did though. I had one good hamburger and one less good ^^haha^^. But what I did, that I shouldn’t have done was sitting watching the fire, breath-in the smoke or even sit where I sat… I haven’t had such much issues breathing in a long time, but after 3 hours by the fire… omg, never again!

But the sadest, is my back! I had pain when I got home yesterday – that isn’t the surprise. No the surprise is that I had to roll out of bed this morning. The back had “locked itself”. I am as stiff as you can get I think 😦 . Had to call in sick 😦 . And here I am in my couch typing and trying t drink coffee…. and waiting on my wheat-pillow to get as cold as possible in the freezer to cool down my back. I hope my back gets as good as possible for some sewing. Because I started on a new project later yesterday evening.

A light blue stipe shirt that I bought on a 2ndhand store in mid February. Quite long on me but not long enough for what I want to use it for. Offcourse it’s not long enough, it’s a normal size for a man with shorter arms then me… But thanks to the second shirt I bought and sut off the arms on I can redesign the shirt with stripes :-).

I haven’t got much further on my *Summer dress yet, because I need to adjust it and make sure the pattern fits me and my body. And with this back that isn’t an opption right now. It just have to wait a bit.

This is my sketch and measurements.
The Yellow dress, is the one I’ll try to make.
This is the fabric, an old curtain 😊

So in the meantime I’ll do things I know I can. Yet this is my Daily life – to try to figure things out while they are resting from I am actually working with the projects with my hands I am working with them in my mind. Yet this is what I like with all my projects.

I needed a new wheat pillow, so I found this screen print I did back in 2005. Cut it as a big roseship.  First I popped up the red fabric. Then I ironed it, then sewed on the rosehip and then I sewed the three layers together. At the end I filled it with wheat.

PS. You know all the things you see when you’re home and not so much after a long day at work… but when you’re home ‘sick’ from work you cant do them anyway…. that’s my home right now. It just has to wait. But thanks to the Lord, I can let it go and focus on being well again. DS.
