So sorry you are feeling under the weather again. Hope you have had the rest of the day on the couch with needle and thread creating more beautiful pieces of cross stitch. Sounds like you will have about a months holiday before starting your new job. Have a great week Leigh and Happy Stitching
I did exactly that, Elizabeth. I stayed on the couch. Until I went to bed around 8pm feeling worse... and overnight, the viral symptoms came on and I have been off work with genuine sickness.
Really enjoyed the visit this morning Leigh and so Happy for you that this new job looks like a done deal....no more worries. Enjoyed seeing your lovely wips and the progress you've made. That was very nice of you to talk about the local shops in New Zealand, they sound very nice. Do try and get some rest and rest your voice...hope you have a great week and get some relaxing stitching done. See ya next week, bye for now...JoDee 🥰
Thank you - everyone of the shops I mentioned have lovely people running them. And most of them are one-women deals! I am happy to support local where I can.
Thank you. I went down Sunday afternoon with flu. So, feeling very sorry for myself and am "mostly" off work, sick. Doing a bit of admin here and there. Ugh.
So happy to see you on a Sunday morning. Back into my usual routine. With you on the lack of sleep. Jetlag and life issues are not helping me. I hope you feel better soon. It's no fun feeling ugh. Beautiful stitching. You'll finish the Jane Eyre one in no time. When I'm back in NZ I'll definitely be shopping! Road trip 😊
haha. we love a good shop, eh? Hormones don't help with the sleeping. Add in a frenetic work environment and other trauma and drama, and it's no wonder I'm currently out with a cold or flu!
Thank you so much! Yeah, I went down Sunday afternoon with flu. It wasn't just fatigue - it was illness. Made it all through winter with nothing, then spring hits, and BAM.
Fantastic news about the job! Did a floss conversion and kitted up Strawberry Fields while watching you so that I can hopefully pass along your freebie table goodness to someone else in March.
Hope you are feeling better today. Loved the 3 projects you showed. I am with you we should be supporting locally owned shops & I appreciate the time you gave to help Kevin this regard
Thank you. Unfortunately... I got worse. Bad cold or average flu - feeling quite poorly and have been coughing and wheezing all night. Feeling very sorry for myself!
Just catching up after a busy day on Sunday (and a holiday today for the horse race that I don't care about but love the day off!) - hope you're feeling better now. Great that things are falling into place for work for you. Change is a little scary but can be very good for us.
Hey, change is constant, right? I have tried to be as positive as I could be through this change process... and I think that has reflected in that I actually had three offers... a short term extension at work, a potential offer with another vendor (I did't want to work there) and this opportunity. :)
Thank you for the video. I hope you get well formall the traveling you want to do and for your new job. It is always an adjustment period of a year when you get a new job, so lay back and don't stress, or you'll be sick. I wish you all of the best and joy in your new adventures.❤
haha. You may have guessed that I am an active relaxer - I'm usually doing something and usually doing more than one thing at once. I think reading - cos I only read books, I don't do audio - is the only thing where I do one thing at a time. Speaking of sick.. yeah, I am down with a virus. sick as a dog.
Thanks! It's happening. 🥰 Meanwhile... flu. Dammit. Been down for the count since Sunday afternoon... managing a bit of work admin between sleeping and coughing.
Thank you - I'm getting there! After having gone down with a bad cold or flu. Mon and Tue off work and I am back online now at about 80%. Given I felt yesterday like I was negative 12%, that's a massive improvement!
Yeah... I got properly sick. It wasn't just fatigue. I have all the virus symptoms of a bad cold or a flu. My ribs hurt from coughing and I have been a snotty mess. Sigh.
@ ... it's because of all the stress and overworking, as I'm sure you are aware. Rest, and I hope you feel better very soon! Let's hope for my country and the world, that the election tomorrow proves most Americans believe in supporting a president with intelligence, respect, and dignity. And let us hope the new year holds excitement, adventure, and normalcy to your life.
@@margaretyoder3007oh god. The election. It’s front page on our news too… I have several ex pats and they all voted already … but man. I can’t even comprehend what emotions must be for you. Such a divisive political system. Sending you virtual And therefore non-contagious hugs.
@ thank you, I need them. I am holding it together, but a wreck inside. I have a daughter who is 21. I cannot imagine her life like in "The Handmaid's Tale". I have a bottle of red wine open, and will probably not look at the news until tomorrow morning. God save our country!!!
So exciting about the new job! Hope you're feeling better and rested soon.
Floral dream has such gorgeous colors.

You're going to love stitching Strawberry Fields! It's such a great design and very forgiving if you want to change things around. :)
Congratulations on the new role! Scary but exciting I’m sure. Thanks for keeping me company while I cook my meals for the week!
Oh, I have UA-cam playing when I cook too! It's like having company in the kitchen, eh?
Catherine from Countrystitch here - I also stock Au Ver a Soie products, and can order in anything from their range in any quantity.
Hello Catherine from Countrystitch :) Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you! Turns out I was coming down with something... a cold or flu. Been down for the count for the last couple of days.

Please take it easy when you can so you don't get really sick!!! Thrilled the job is working out, and you will have some time off between. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It breaks my heart that women don’t have autonomy over their own bodies. Their right to choose.
Wishing you some time soon to get some meaningful rest. Be well!!
Thank you. Yes... my immunity said nope, and I am out with a virus. Cold or flu. I feel pretty rotten!
You are going to be a very busy girl. Take care of yourself. 😊
Yeah, wondering if I might plan to go to Dunedin over Easter instead of after NY. We shall see...
You so need to look after yourself. Your Nora ladies are beautiful. Have a good weeek, take care and happy stitching 🌸💞🌸
Thanks Suzie. I'm sick. Blinking virus. Feel like I've hacked up a lung over night. Not at all happy here!
