Now I've been home from hospital for just over a week I'm slowly beginning to find my feet (sorry couldn't resist !!!).
The words 'do as you're told' and 'take it easy' are still ringing in my ears. I joked with Jennifer, one of the senior staff nurses at the hospital, that whilst I was down in London and Mr Gertie was at work, they had secretly installed video cameras in all of our rooms at home. Should I misbehave then a voice would boom down and tell me off !!!!!
Mr Gertie brought down from the loft the old kitchen table so I've been able to make myself a little den right next to the sofa. The phone, all my reading material, my laptop, my sewing, are well within safe reaching distance.
Close by are a couple of bags (all handmade of course.....) containing various other projects - another cable knit jumper, a cable knit blanket and the knitted trauma teddies and quilts originally started by my Mam that I'm finishing off.
I had hoped to show you what I've been up to this week but with it been Wimbledon fortnight, all I've done is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Hopefully I'll have something to show you next week.
Have a great week.
Gertie xx
PS why not pop over to Handmade Monday to see what other fellow craft bloggers have been up to.
That really is having Big Brother watching you, but all in a good cause. I hope your recovery is going really well and I know what you mean about Wimbledon - how many times have I told myself I won't watch it! Hope you have a good week - tennis next week will be harder to resist :0)
ReplyDeleteWimbledon can be very addictive xx
DeleteI hope you're continuing to recover well - I'm rubbish at doing as I'm told, so I totally sympathise with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteIt sounds like you and Mr G have everything organised.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of Wimbledon and no jumping up and down to cheer your favourites on. :)

I have to keep reminding myself not to get too excited when there's a good game on xx
DeleteGlad to hear that you are taking it easy (I find doing as I'm told very hard!)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have something like Wimbledon to help :)
I must admit it is hard sometimes remembering that I'm supposed to take it easy.... xx
DeleteHello, it's good news that you are recovering. Take it easy and enjoy the Wimbledon matches!
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteLove the sound of your little den! Hope you make a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteGlad to hear you are feeling well. Wimbledon is a good excuse for sitting and not moving far from the telly I think! Glad that you have all the important things in life to hand x
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteIt sounds as if you are behaving yourself - those cameras are obviously working. Enjoy the second week - plenty of time for crafting afterwards :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to behave but it isn't easy..... xx
DeleteYour set up sounds great - everything you could possibly want in one place so no excuse for not resting! Glad you are sounding better, hope you continue to improve. x
ReplyDeleteThat was Mr Gertie's idea so I wouldn't be tempted to go into my work room xx
DeleteHope you're feeling a lot better soon. At least Wimbledon is a bit of a silver lining for you.
ReplyDeleteIts so lovely to hear that your are on the mend and well looked after with plenty of crafty projects to keep you occupied :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're enjoying wimbledon too, its nice to really immerse yourself in the coverage of these things isn't it... almost as good as being there - better if its raining! :)
I sometimes think that viewers at home have the best seat at Wimbledon xx
DeleteIts good to hear you're recovering well, your den sounds ideal with everything close to hand. Keep up the resting (and watching tennis too)
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
