Covid Strikes and a New Arrival!

 It got me! I suppose I'm lucky that I have managed to avoid Covid up until now.  It started with a trip to A&E with stroke like symptoms, tingling on the left side of my head and then it spread down my face.  Friday night is not a good time to be in A&E it was crowded with a 11 hour wait! I suppose no time is a good time to be in A&E but I couldn't help thinking that if it was a stroke I don't fancy my chances as I arrived at 7pm and wasn't seen until 3am! Anyway thankfully stroke was ruled out and I got home at 4 30am. I was ok on Sunday although the tingling sensation was still there but on Monday I could hardly get out of bed, did a test and I tested positive for Covid.  I'm wondering if it was the Covid that caused the tingling sensation.  

I have been pretty ill with it but the worst thing is two outings which cost me quite a bit have to be cancelled I was so disappointed especially as one of them was the Abba Tribute which is on tonight but I'm still testing positive and feeling very weak.  I was all set to get dressed up in my 70s gear and I had made a couple of Abba Style hats for my friend and myself...

I won't get to see Ted in his poncho either so I've instructed everyone to send me lots of photos.

 My second little grandchild arrived yesterday morning it's a boy! It's going to be a while before I get to see him but I'm going nowhere near him until I'm completely well.

 I want to show you a couple of the the things I have made for him along with the blanket I showed you earlier..


My DIL asked me to make this baby onesie it's a very easy pattern and didn't take that long, I used Stylecraft special Aran in shade sage you can find the pattern on youtube here 


The blanket is my own little treasure baby blanket you can find the pattern here, it's lovely to make a works up in no time.

This past week I haven't felt like doing anything much but I'm planning to do I little sewing today, I'm quite proud that I'm keeping up with this, the problem is though, the pattern is fading and it's getting more difficult to see it, I'm hoping that it lasts till December


To finish off I just had to show you this, still blooming in October just outside my front door, this is the wheel barrow that my brother gave me last year for my birthday, I filled it with Bizzy Lizzy's and they put a smile on my face everytime I open the door,

Have a great week ahead.💗

  8. Oh dear, the dreaded Covid, sorry toreador that you caught it and it has knick you for a six! But..... better than a stroke, that's for sure. Neither of us here have caught it yet, and fingers crossed we don't, sadly there is yet another new variant around. The little onesie is so cute, as is the toning blanket. Well done with the baby knitting.

  13. Congratulations on the birth of your grandson, Linda. The hooded onsie and blanket are fantastic. That little baby boy will be stylin'. I'm so sorry to hear the COVID got you, and that you had to cancel fun plans that had been paid for. I thought I was late to the party when I got it last November. It was a bear to get over, but I hope you feel better soon. I wonder how much the symptoms have morphed in the length of time it's been around now. I haven't paid much attention to its progress lately. I hope you're feeling much better soon!

  14. Awww, congratulations on the safe arrival of your grandson, how cute he'll look in that little onesie. The blanket will keep him nice and snug in the winter months ahead, gorgeous. I hope you're feeling better now. Both Mick and I have managed to avoid Covid so far, as far as we're aware anyway.
