Easter 2023, not how I thought it would be.

I got cold at work Wednesday the 29th of March and I had sore throat and fever Friday 31st of March. Gaaa. Fever at work is never fun! But I did work. That Friday evening didn’t I have any energy in my body. I was laying flat in the couch the whole weekend. On Monday 3rd of April I had one appointment in Sandnes – to pick up my new spectacles (glasses), so I took paracetamol and headed in to Sandnes and did that only thing, headed home an hour later and that were what I “had” energy to.

The red par is my normal glasses and then I got a par of glasses for computer or sewing as I use them for.

With new glasses at home and the trip outdoors, the day after I had more fever…Gaaa. Not what I wanted but just reality. I have been in the couch all day’s since Monday. Only had some extra energy the last two evenings where I have trying to understand a dress-pattern.

And when I thought I understood it, I went on next step – drawing up.

Got company of Silver, who doesn’t understand that I am doing other things on the floor then gonna be with him <3. I have got so far that my next step is to sew it all together, but not yet. To less energy and to much pain in the body :-((((

This dress, if that’s what it actually ends up as, is my very first try to sew a dress after a pattern! And if I manage I will use this pattern to many more and get good on this before I try an other pattern. My goal is to concer this task. I do want to be able to just buy fabric I like and then sew a dress that fits my body. And if you wonder, I am between sizes S and M in most exept the length. Everything in Small is to short on the length but fits good or perfect in my waist. My hips are “to wide” for a Medium and yes too short in the legs.

This is my length on this dress, look at the bottom of this dresslength – the last 10cm is my addition.

An other thing I had energy to do yesterday (Friday 7th of April) was to give my seeds new soil and divide the little flowers I sowed as seeds two weeks ago.

My only goal today (8th of April) is to force myself to the grocery store (the only day here i Norway the stores are open during Easter) and buy paracetamol for my headache before 4pm. Which I managed – Happy and free from pain after 6pm. And from that (no pain) I got energy to put into my dress-project.

It actually looks like a dress.

Tomorrow I will try it on and see how tight I will sew it and where to put a zipper, which I haven’t figured out yet…
