Many thanks for the sympathy - I'm getting my mojo back! The BP is on it's way down now all I need is for the headaches to go away.
I know I'm feeling somewhat better as knitting has started again! I've finally got the motivation to start my Rowanette Exchange and there has been a little progress.
I think the Mojo was heavily influenced by receiving the invite to join Ravelry though the thought of trying to catalogue my stash fills me with some dread. So far I've added the yarn within reach of my chair....
On a totally different note, my thoughts are with the people in my home town of Sheffield.
My sister Kate's home was under water when she arrived home from her holiday in Greece undoing all the hard work put in by the builders and decorators whilst she was away! She has now got the electric back on, has had the water pumped out and is trying to clean up all the mud and sewage that the flood brought in. The rest of the family can't get through to help her and I feel helpless here in the South!
Posted by Yvonne at June 27, 2007 12:50 PMI am so glad you are on the up and the BP is on the down! That colour for the knitting is just divine - I absolutely love it. I spent two years in Sheffield (in Birley Carr just below Grenoside) and everytime it rained the basement flooded (house was built on a spring), my heart goes out to all those people, Sheffield is a great place and the people are hilarious, your sister really needs to go back on holiday and not come back until it is all fixed - it must be just awful to get everyhing looking the way you want it and have it wrecked just as soon as you have finished
Posted by: juliet at June 30, 2007 07:23 PMGlad you're feeling more with it. It's horrible feeling so helpless.
Posted by: Daisy at June 30, 2007 04:23 PMGlad you're feeling better! My family live in and around Sheffield too. My brother rang me from his car, trying to get off Brightside Lane, just before it all rose!
Posted by: Gill at June 30, 2007 09:30 AMThe tiny bit of flooding we've had here has made me think about how much worse it must be for others badly affected. Hope things improve for your sister soon.
Posted by: Mary at June 29, 2007 11:07 PMI know exactly how you feel about not being able to get through to help family members when they need it. It's been horrible.
Also time off = no pay :(
Posted by: blueadt at June 29, 2007 11:51 AMOh no, your poor sister!
I love how your Clementine Shawlette is coming along, beautiful color!
I can't wait to get into Ravelry. I'm slowly preparing by taking pictures of the stash when I can. Luckily it's still fairly manageable. ;)
I know I just e-mailed you, but I have to thank you again for the wonderful package!
Posted by: Sarah at June 28, 2007 02:23 AMthere's alot of that goin on here in the states as well. it's been a wild & wooly year, and we're only one month into hurricane seasn!
Posted by: minnie at June 27, 2007 06:15 PMI have an uncle up there too, I think he'd have been in touch if he'd been flooded out though. It's hard to imagine just how devastating a flooding is, no nice clean rainwater, usually sludge or sewage. Ravelry is brilliant, isn't it? I'm in the process (will take months) of cataloguing my stash for flickr and slowly transferring it over to Ravelry - well the bags of stash not sock or lace oddballs!!
Beware browsing ravelry and patterns!
