Day 64 - start writing the blogpost.
Day 65 - sort through the photos AND complete a post!!!
As you may have guessed from my photos, we're part way through calving - we're into week 5 (I think). It's been heads down and lots of work but we're getting there :-)
I've also been struggling with a health issue, which reared its head in June but I realise now that it's been affecting me from February at least. (Just another Auto-Immune disease.) Physically I'm doing great (now) but mentally it's been a struggle with an inability to focus, concentrate, and settle to a task. Throw in a bit of anxiety and you get little sewing done and no blogpost for 65 days!!! I'm all good now though, just need to continue to get meds sorted and I'll be back to being a box of fluffies.
There will be more detail on what I HAVE been making in the next posts, but for now I'll leave it here.
Day 65 - Push Publish.
Hugs to all, and thank you for the messages I've been receiving concerning my whereabouts ♥
'til next time,
happy stitches,
Raewyn
Sometimes life gets in the way and there are other things need doing, like taking care of you. Pleased you’re feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy time on the farm at calving time. 🤗💕
Above is M….😁
ReplyDeleteYay, great to hear from you. Farm life looks and sounds busy, and you have some lovely progress pictures. Hope you're continuing to get/feel better. ((Hugs)).
ReplyDeleteSorry you have not been well but you have managed to keep up with the daily photograph which is great. Sending best wishes. xx
ReplyDeleteSad to hear that you've been unwell, but happy that you are starting to feel better now. It's difficult, if not impossible, to find the energy to sew when you are in such a state...just glad to see you back blogging. Rest and take your time, we are not going anywhere;))) hugs for many upcoming "good" days....Julierose
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better soon, Raewyn. I love seeing the farm photos and hope the calving is going well. I look forward to seeing what craftiness you've gotten up to.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you...I see your ginger feline supervisor is on your case....!
ReplyDeleteas I have autoimmune diseases I can feel for you when another rears its ugly head - now my little sister has one besides one of my daughters in my family - it takes awhile to get them under control and hope you are going to be doing ok - I can sure tell you keep busy!
ReplyDeleteAutoimmune diseases really get into the way of life sometimes! I had a bad night last night. It is so irritating after dealing with this for over twenty years! Really! I think I have a good handle on things and whammy! Then I feel like a wimp and feel bad about feeling like a wimp. I hate slowing down for even one day. All of us are cheering for you or praying for you as the case may be. Your pictures are wonderful because they help us all to increase our lives to see a larger world.
ReplyDeleteTo Karen, who posted before me, Best wishes and prayers to you and your family! What a heavy load your family is dealing with! If all of us help one another, we can do anything!
Love all the photos and knowing that you are basically well and moving along in life--
ReplyDeletehang in there--family and real life must come before blog posts--though we do miss you!!
hugs, di
Has it really been so long? Sorry to read about your health struggle, and dealing with the calves is always a busy time on the farm. But you are here now, welcome back,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you have been unwell, I hope your "fluffy" again soon.I love the chook bag you made. Get well soon
ReplyDeleteIt is a busy time on the farm and that was a delightful set of pictures. Sorry to hear you have not been in the best of health but glad you are on the mend.... take one day at a time....x
ReplyDeleteHugz
Raewyn hope you are looking after yourself and getting better each day. I understand how time gets away from you. Take care and thinking of you and your recovery.
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn ... for some reason you popped into my head the other day as I was head down, gardening & I thought "Raewyn hasn't posted in awhile - I guess she's busy calving". I well remember what an intense time calving is with little energy left over for other things. You just take your time & we'll be here waiting for you when you get a chance to post properly. Take care of yourself xx
ReplyDeleteH dear - and I thought I had been very slack about reading all my normal blogs...now I can blame you! LOL
ReplyDeleteHope you are all sorted...that would be a frustrating thing to feel like that!
Hugs and Best Wishes.
ReplyDeleteI also know that feeling Raewyn!!
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn, I'm afraid that I know how you feel. Good for you for trying and pushing "publish ". Small steps. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post to get back to blogging. It certainly sounds like life has got in the way lately. Good luck with all the calving and I’m pleased to hear that you have now identified why you have been feeling unwell and are getting things under control.
ReplyDeleteWith all that is going on in your life I am not surprised you haven't posted.
ReplyDeleteYou need to take care and get well, then you can post without stressing over it. We will all still be here to read it.
That is a great post, enjoyed all the photos. Hope you are coming right and have the meds sorted. Love the chook bag too.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better now, and I totally understand how the days between blogs stretch out so easily. Sometimes life just takes over....and I am way behind in reading blogs too.
ReplyDeleteOh well, we all need a break from blogging sometimes :-)
ReplyDeletelooks very nice
ReplyDeleteCatching up on blogs... sorry you have been struggling, hope you are feeling better day by day... Love this blog post, well worth the wait!! Love the chook bag and the photo of the kitty cat xx
ReplyDeleteHello friend, you have been missed by your bloggy community!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope you really are feeling better, especially mentally. I understand anxiety a little too much and truly hope and pray you are sorting it out.
Cute dog quilt, crochet, and bags. The cows are fun to see as well.
so beautiful and stunning
ReplyDeleteExactly like this!!! That is how you write a blogpost after those many days :-) Life on a farm is hard work day after day and sometimes even through the night. Hope you are doing better today and wish you continued improvement. Sending lots of love and big squishy hugs.
