Cute, cute, cute stockings! I am SO glad you're feeling better. I am praying for good as new. Sewing will wait. And such pretty fabrics you have - I'm looking forward to fall sewing. Love you -
Aw Trish, I’m so sorry that you’ve been so poorly. Shingles is horrible so I’m glad you’re getting through it. Absolutely agree about dialling down the Christmas gifts. We all have so much stuff! 😱. We’ve really reduced our Christmas gifts for a few years now. Friends and I usually meet up instead and have a nice lunch and a catch up in the new year. Creating memories. Take care of yourself. Hopefully you’ll be 100% well very soon. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much! Every day I wake up and hope the shingles is gone, but it sure does hang on for a long time. I really like the idea of getting together with friends for lunch and just having time together instead of objects swapped. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week.❤
Sorry to hear you had shingles. I know several people that have suffered thru it and I know it's horrible. I did have he vaccine, and fingers crossed I don't get it. Your stockings are so cute and functional. I agree about not needing presents. Great to see you back!
Missed you girl. I had my first shingles shot 17 years ago and then a booster in between. Mt dil is a nurs and she asked me when I turned 60 if I had had my shingles shot. I thought shingles was what kids got with malnutrition. After 60 you need a shot if you never had chicken pox. We'll, who can remember that? So sorry you had that. Glad you're on the mend. Love from New Mexico.
I have learned my lesson, I will never go without that vaccination again. I have seen many people suffer through it and it is no picnic. Thanks for popping in!❤
So glad to hear that you're doing better these days. I've known a few other people who have suffered through shingles and they say it's an absolutely horrible, painful experience. I can only imagine. As far as Christmas goes for us, we meet up with family members for a nice Christmas dinner out somewhere a few days before Christmas; we decided a few years ago that there would be no gift exchange. We all have more than everything that we need or want so we just get together and enjoy the day. Take care now!
I have been missing you. I am so sorry about the shingles. I watched my Mother in law go through that and I saw so much suffering. Prayers for a return to god health.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
I hope you continue to feel better. I have heard shingles are very painful, and I’m guilty of procrastinating on getting the vaccine. I need to do it. 🤦♀️
I'm so sorry to hear about your shingles. I know it's just awful :( Cute stockings, and very nice family Christmas gift plans. So nice to see you here! Hope you're fully recovered before you travel!
The stockings are so cute. I’m very sorry to hear about your dealings with shingles. I haven’t done anything in my sewing room either since late October. I was diagnosed October 28, with gallbladder and bile duct cancer. Needless to say I haven’t been able to handle anything emotionally or mentally. I did get back in my sewing room yesterday to tidy it up and today I started working on a skirt pattern. I know what you mean about looking forward to the sewing videos. They gave me mind break from the cancer. I’m going to sew as much as I can until things start up. I have a procedure coming up soon and probably a very extensive surgery. I actually feel very good right now so I’m just trying to exercise and walk to build my self up.
YAY!!! You're back! Thought you had taken a long real estate trip to TN. So very, very sad to hear that you came down with shingles. Poor thing!!!! I've heard it was a very nasty disease, but had NO idea until hearing your painful description (child birth for a month) of it. Got my shingles vaccination within the last year. It was free, so why not? Glad that you're now on the mend. Would still like to meet you for lunch at Grills whenever you're up for it. Please IG me when you've got a hankering for seafood and we'll meet up. At some point, I plan to check out The Sewing Studio in Maitland based on your and Jen's talking about it and if you'd like to go with me, all the better! JoAnn's in Melbourne is a hot mess of a store and other than Hobby Lobby, there's just isn't anywhere else to go for garment fabric, at least I haven't found anywhere. So glad you're back!!! 💜 Dori
Whew Dori my life came to a screeching halt in October! Shingles is no joke. I actually have a Real estate trip planned this month from the 15th -25th so I will be in touch when I return and we will have that lunch!! Looking forward to meeting you in person!❤
So thankful you’re on the mend! Sounds like Toots took good care of you! Those stockings are so fun! We draw names in my family! Totally agree with you about too much “stuff”! Can’t wait to see you soon! Love you! 😘💗
So good to see you and so sorry to hear about your shingles- just glad you are finally on the road to recovery. Love the stockings - a really practical size. Agree totally re Xmas gifting- much better to give to those in need. Made me laugh with the fabric buying though!!😂😂. We are all guilty of that even when not poorly!!! Happy sewing😊. Lynne
So happy to see you in my feed today! Shingles sound horrible - I haven’t gotten a vaccine yet, but now I think I will!! Love the stockings and think they are a brilliant idea. I’m also cutting back on all the gift giving and making this year. I just want to focus on enjoying the season and the people around me. Xx
That's terrible that you got shingles. I had shingles and it is no joke. I got the vaccine last year and will be getting one this year. Hope you feel better soon. Take care. Colleen
Nice to have you back! You poor Dear 🤗 A few years back i had volunteered for a big project (that I couldn't back out of) .. then my recently widowed Mom did a surprise visit on me ... she, understandably needed a lot of attention.. So between husband, home, mother, and volunteering... I ended up with shingles! It was .. well..as you described! I feel your pain! Hope you continue to feel better and better!
Love seeing your video today!! ❤. Those are fabulous stockings, love the trim 👏🏼and what a wonderful idea to scale it back and just fill those for family. I think everyone is realising just how 'over the top' Christmas has become. I'll fly over and sew up some of your fabric, name the date 😂 🧵. Can't wait to see that quilt finished ❤ Hope everyone gets the vaccine that can after your warning (that made me laugh so hard 🤣)sadly not available for us yet unless we pay a fortune! So great to see you and you do look better. Love you lots ❤❤
I cant believe how far behind the UK falls when it comes to medical stuff. Hope your Mum is doing ok. Its stockings galore around here. They are so quick and easy to make. I love a quick project. Cheers! Love you❤
Awe Trish. So sorry to hear about your shingles. I had one of the older, single dose shingles vaccine. Since then, the two dose one has come out. It's hard to get a definitive answer on whether I need the new one or not. I should just bite the bullet and get it. Our family is not overly large, but we decided to cut the extended family kids off once they turned 18. It can get to be too much. I try to stick to a small budget. 🥰 Bernadette
Yeah, I feel like we have just overdone it for so many years and someone just needs to speak up and say time to scale down, so that’s what I did this year and I think everyone is happy about it❤️
I’m so sorry about the shingles. It is beyond painful. I haven’t had it but dealt with it when our then 9 year old daughter had them. She always does the rare stuff.
I’m so sorry you had Shingles. That’s a good reason for children to be vaccinated so they don’t get Chickenpox Pox. I hope you complete your healing soon and are back to good health very soon.
Oh Trish I'm so sorry you're going through shingles. I don't know if you've ever used a chiropractor but they can really help shingles recovery. Often the nerve is miss aligned or under pressure and relieving that compression can allow the nerve to calm down. Shingles are caused by a reactivation of the chicken pox virus in the affected nerve. Hope this explanation makes sense. Also increased emotional stress can trigger shingles. Good luck, I've missed you and I pray you are better soon!
Glad you are feeling better and hope your recovery continues until shingles are just a very bad memory!
Cute, cute, cute stockings! I am SO glad you're feeling better. I am praying for good as new. Sewing will wait. And such pretty fabrics you have - I'm looking forward to fall sewing. Love you -
Stocking are ao fast to make. I look forward to fall sewing too and just fall in general! Come on cold front! Have dun on your travels. Love u❤

Thank you so much Charlotte! I look forward to the day when they are long gone!!!❤️
I hope you continue to feel better. I have heard shingles are very painful, and I’m guilty of procrastinating on getting the vaccine. I need to do it. 🤦♀️

So very sad to hear of your cancer. I went through breast cancer in 2023 and it was no picnic. Prayers for you!!!🙏 keep sewing!
@ Thank you.

@@pinkysfarm461 Yes! Looking forward to meeting you, too! Can't wait!!! 🥰

Cant wait to see you too Andra!! I will be at Jills from the 18th thru 25th. We will make a plan!! Love you!
My husband had them recently. If you get them get the mouse for chicken pox. It number the surface area and helps quite a bit
Thank you! I will try to find that tomorrow. Appreciate the help.❤
So good to see you and so sorry to hear about your shingles- just glad you are finally on the road to recovery. Love the stockings - a really practical size.

Yeah Im blaming the fabric shopping on the pain meds!!!!❤

Thats how I want to enjoy this Christmas also. Spending time and not money! Get that vaccine!!!❤
That's terrible that you got shingles. I had shingles and it is no joke. I got the vaccine last year and will be getting one this year. Hope you feel better soon. Take care. Colleen
Yeah it has been a rough month!!❤
Nice to have you back! You poor Dear 🤗

That sounds rough! I have often wondered if mine was stress induced. Thanks for the well wishes❤️
So lovely to see you back! So horrible to hear what you’ve been through, I’m so glad you are on the mend, shingles is no joke!
Yeah its a life changer. UA-cam videos have been my savior!!
Love seeing your video today!! ❤. Those are fabulous stockings, love the trim 👏🏼and what a wonderful idea to scale it back and just fill those for family. I think everyone is realising just how 'over the top' Christmas has become.

@ would you believe the last stockings I made were 30 years ago 😂 I need to make some more I think! Xx
We draw names. Even the little kids. Our family is too big for us to afford big gifts. We supply the food and games.
@ LOVE that idea!!!
Sorry about the shingles.. . I agree about gifts.. its is getting to be too much ... Great idea about stockings
Thanks Cindy!❤

You need the newer double shot!
So glad to hear you are feeling better. Where did u get the Christmas fabric for the stockings?
Hey Carmen! I found that fabric at Hobby Lobby for 40percent off. One stocking took a half yard of 2 different fabrics
I’m so sorry about the shingles. It is beyond painful. I haven’t had it but dealt with it when our then 9 year old daughter had them. She always does the rare stuff.
Oh poor child to have to endure this pain. It has been eye-opening to say the least.❤
I’m so sorry you had Shingles. That’s a good reason for children to be vaccinated so they don’t get Chickenpox Pox. I hope you complete your healing soon and are back to good health very soon.
Sorry to hear of your discomfort….hope it improves…..yes I am vaccinated for shingles..😊🇦🇺
Yay for you getting vaccinated! 🎉

I may call a Chripractor this week! I will try anything!!!❤ thanks!
Glad you’re doing better!!!
Thank you so much❤
Those are some big stockings!
They will get jammed full of fun stuff!!
My husband has had singles for 2 months now, very painful, so sorry,,
Ahhh poor guy. I hope he and I both get well soon.!
I got the vaccine and now I have ‘reaccurring shingles. Gave up trying to keep count of my epiodes. Hope you are truly over them
Oh my GOSH thats horrible. Hope you never have them again either! I didnt know the vaccine could do that!! Stay well❤
