Today my thumb is really hurting and so typing is not a good thing to be doing. Roll on Saturday and the injection which I hope will make it feel much better. I am sure I am not the only one suffering with something like this, arthritis! I was hoping to continue with some Christmas Cards but I think that is on the back burner until next year now. I'm blaming the ones I've done for causing this thumb to hurt so much.
So I am reduced to tidying up, and even that has its problems - picking things up! Gosh I am a whinger! We have a new suite coming next week (20th) and the old one was due to be collected the day before, now they've rung and cannot do it until the day after. Gonna be fun!! One in and one out. So the tree has had to be put on hold again for the unforeseeable future. It will be Christmas Eve at this rate but it has spurred me on to doing a lot of decluttering. So my desk is fairly empty. There's just a notebook I once made at CHA, a card I must have made a long time ago when Steampunk was all the rage, and a photo of me which someone took at one of my classes and turned into a card.
Oh and remember me saying I could not crochet? I can't, but I could once, a long time ago. I made this table mat - it's pineapples and Solomons Knots - that's what I remember. Aunty was brilliant at knitting and crochet, won lots of prizes for her work including a full length Arran coat she made me (and I still have it somewhere) but she could not teach me to crochet. Mum, on the other hand was nowhere near as good but she was the one who taught me to do this mat. Every bit was done by me in my 20's.
