Hi, I have been away for a very long. I have been ill but feel that now I have turned a corner and would like to use my Blog as a sort of therapy.
Among other things that I won't bore you with, I have both Carpel Tunnel in both hands, (most of the times very difficult to keyboard) and a condition called Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy in my feet. It is a nerve damage which causes numbness, pain, pins and needles a feeling of being very cold in my feet. It is a condition which worsens through the night which means that I sleep very little at night and I am a Zombie during the day. I am on some medication to help with the pain, however it does not seem to help allot.
I been working on a new quilt featuring our dog Shadow, I really need to get it completed, here are some pictures of the quilt. I have another couple of small projects on the go for Christmas.
I hope to have them finished in time and maybe photos for you after the new year.
My intention is to Blog once a week, and I sure love feedback to please leave me a comment .
I love your quilt on your header - is there a name for it? A pattern? The colors are so bright, what wonderful way to do a sampler!

ReplyDeleteDeb..I am sorry that your physical ailments have stopped you from doing what you love. I hope with science and medication and Blog therapy there can be some comfort.
ReplyDeleteI live close to you in Pickering. I love to go to Barrie to one of the quilt stores there. Have you been?? Your quilt of Shadow is wonderful!! keep on taking it one day at a time and hope to hear more about your wonderful quilting adventures.
about the feet -- as the nerves die, the pain lessens, I have it too! Now, knowing where my feet are is the problem, I have to look where I put them, especially street curbs! PS, always wear shoes and here is a link for polar fleece socks, they are great, try them...
