NEM TUDO SÃO FLORES

Nem tudo são flores é uma expressão idiomática que usamos para expressar que nem tudo está tão bem.

Pois é, ainda continuo tomando cuidado com meu pescoço evitando usar o computador, bordar, fazer crochê e até costurar.

Esta semana a única coisa que fiz foi costurar 3 blocos para o Rainbow Scrap Challenge, após ter encontrado os quadradinhos necessários já cortados para a montagem dos blocos. Mostrei aqui.

NADA de agulha na mão! 
Nem de crochê e muito menos de bordado. 


A mantinha que eu estava bordando para meu neto que nascerá no final
de Março, não recebeu um ponto cruz sequer ... que tristeza, o bordado continua assim.


Difícil controlar a ansiedade, e a vontade de bordar...



Durante a semana eu estava revisando alguns trabalhos que entraram no baú dos Ufos.

Encontrei este trabalho feito em English Paper Piecing.

Faz anos que este trabalho está parado e está mais do que na hora de eu fazer alguma coisa com ele. 


Preciso de um centro de mesa para uma mesa redonda e acho que ele ficará bem legal.

Os hexágonos são pequenos , veja foto ao lado  uma roseta branca na minha mão.

Creio que o melhor a fazer será 
acolchoar a mão. 

Claro,  isso só poderá ter início quando eu estiver em condições de voltar a fazer meus amados artesanatos. 

Por enquanto o que posso fazer é planejar e ir organizando as coisas.


Deixo para vocês esta linda flor do meu quintal. 
Você conhece?  É a flor do Açafrão da Terra  (curcuma longa)

I'm sorry you are having problems with your neck, this time last year I was too and it has continued throughout the year although not as severe. I blame too much computer use and close work. I have had to cut down my time on doing both to prevent flare ups. I love the hexagons I think they will make a lovely table centrepiece. Beautiful flower, have a peaceful Sunday.xx

So sorry that you are unable to craft due to your neck. I would be going stir crazy as I am sure you are. I hope you feel better soon and can get back to all of your pretty sewing.

I hope your neck pain eases and you can get back to all of your stitcheries. The red and white hexies are going to be such a cute table topper, happy stitching when you can!

Kate disse...

I'm sorry your neck hasn't improved much over the last week. Hopefully more rest and hiatus from your stitching efforts will quickly get you back on track. It is so frustrating to not be able to work on projects, especially the ones you have a deadline for.

Jill disse...

Sorry your stitching hand has not yet recovered, but it will. Wise to do organizing as when you are able to sew, everything will be neatly in its place. Red and white hexies will make a pretty table topper.

it sounds like you need physical therapy on your neck. I have had to several times over the years and I bought a Tens Unit and that helps also - mine will hurt several days to a week and then go away and then come back again. I went to PT several times for it and they always say do neck stretches and use the Tens Unit

Your red and white hexie project is beautiful, Ivani! I hope you have a chance to do something with it this year. Take good care of yourself and hopefully these neck issues will get better soon!

Sarah disse...

I’m sorry things haven’t improved enough to start your sewing and crochet again. It’s hard not doing the things we love isn’t it? Your red and white hexies will make a great table centre. Take care Ivani.

Bonnie disse...

No fun that you can't do any of your needle arts. Hopefully soon you'll be back to it. Take care of yourself.

Beautiful flower on your turmeric plant! Saffron of the earth is a great name for that spice.

Don't be stressed about finishing the baby blanket before your grandson arrives. He won't know! Better to take care of your neck so that you can give him lots of cuddles when he arrives.

Look after yourself, and best wishes for improvement in your neck.
