    I did have a quiet day today thank you. And there are enough leftovers from yesterday that I don't have to cook dinner tonight. #winning!

    @Annie C I’m totally in awe of your craftwork! I’m with you @JJ70 - I can cook you anything you like but couldn’t sew to save my life! I even find buttons challenging! I took my final home ec sewing project to a dressmaker to finish LOL. 
    Every fancy dress costume for my kids was stapled or double sided taped. 
    Then I ended up with a ballet dancing daughter. No one warned me that you had to sew the ribbons and elastic on pointe shoes yourself!

    In a previous life, prior to retirement and before my BC diagnosis I offered my sewing and dressmaking skills to the community doing alterations and clothing repairs. At times I was swamped with work. Paid for many a holiday with the earnings.

    Many times I had clothing come in that was stapled, safety pinned, sticky taped and one doctor favoured surgical tape. The best was a pair of jeans with the zip held in place with a piece of fencing wire! The owner was a ringer employed on a cattle station.

    The next sleep experiment starts tonight. Going to take my first melatonin pill shortly. Here's hoping it's effective. Been hot flushing a lot today.

    So fingers crossed @tigerbeth. K xox

    I hate velcro. I think it is the sound and feel of it. When my sons were small velcro was flavour of the year on shoes. Set my teeth on edge when the boys ripped and ripped. Funny thing though, the most comfortable pair of shoes that I wear around the house and going out when I am required to be a lady and get dressed up, is a pair of King Gee ladies shoes with......... velcro!

    <3 velcro always reminds me of my only pair of roller-skates. They were rainbow with yellow toe protectors, so I had a yellow helmet, knee and elbow braces too. I don't really miss the 90s but I do wish I could just be 7 again some days.

    So here I am my favourite time of day wide awake and obsessing about everything

    Awake, too!  @Annie C My Mum could sew anything - draw her a picture of a dress and she could make it (although not advisable to do that with only a couple of hours to spare as the scar in the table from the scissors could attest...I was on the other side of the table, luckily).  As a result, I DO NOT SEW.  Actually, I can manage the basics and have made many a costume for the kids (sheep, kangaroo, penguin, etc), but as a rule, I choose not to.  Sadly, I know exactly how bad my sewing is.
