Streptococcal pharyngitis

I have tonsillitis :( The kids are poorly too, although theirs is not bacterial.
So for me there's mostly been this:





I'm in the same boat as Kelli (read her post because I was basically going to say the same sort of stuff!!), I haven't been commenting although I have speed read some blogs but I just don't have the energy to be a good active blogger - so I'm sorry.

I've done the odd bit of hand sewing while lying on the sofa and I'll show you all when I can be bothered!!

There's just a couple of notices I wanted to share.

Firstly there's some great giveaways going on, some I meant to blog about last week so you might need to hurry but please check them all out if you get a chance:

- Duke Says Sew What is having a wonderful giveaway of fabric in one of my favourite colours, as well as some DS!
- Poppy Makes... is looking for a name for her adorable new puppy and giving away a charm pack to those that throw in their opinions :)
- Lori at Adventures in Fabric is celebrating her 50+ followers (now 75!!) by giving away a charm pack
- last but certainly not least the fabulous Canadian Abroad is having a sponsored giveaway from The Village Haberdashery (open to UK residents only)
** In my absence I failed to include the cute and generous giveaway from Suz at Patchwork n Play, so check that out too!!**

Once you've checked those out you might also want to go look at Prints To Polka Dots they have 20% off Flannels, 20% off Riley Blake, and a great clearance on haberdashery items, including felt, buttons and ric rac!

Finally a reminder that I'm having the fat quarter Stale Stash Swap in one week!! So get your fabric ready and think about what you want to offer to swap :) Please help spread the word so we can get as many swappers as possible

Charm About You

Oh bugger! There's nothing worse than feeling crap when you've got kids to look after too... Enjoy trasformers (strangely addictive cartoon, isn't it?) Hope your antibiotics work quickly and you're on the mend soon xx

I didn't have boys so I don't know if watching Transformers is good or not. I do know being sick is such a bummer. I hope you feel better soon. At least you are not watching Spongebob Squarepants. I like the cartoon, but it gets on my nerves so quickly!

Gargling with aspirin may also help.
