Well what to say about today?

It’s been an interesting one that’s for sure. There’s been tangling, TV, sewing and puffers. This afternoon I had breathing issues. I wasn’t able to breath properly and so a full on panic attack kicked in. What fun that was, halfway down the stairs, issues breathing, panicking and unable to speak and get anyone’s attention. Luckily dad came out the kitchen saw me, shouted mum and they both managed to sort me out.

I started having breathing issues earlier in the day so I was half expecting something but nothing that bad. Like is said I was having issues most of the day, because it was warm I put Zoe on her long lead in the back garden so we could have the doors open for a bit. Zoe decided to go routing about the way dogs do and she got the lead stuck round a stump. So I had a look and decided I needed some shoes on so I could get in the bushes and help her out. So head down rooting about in a bush to untangle the lead. I managed to sort that out and stood up. As I stood up the dizziness starts and I nearly go flying. So after that the puffing kicks in. So managed to stumble to the back door and sit down for a bit.

Huffing and puffing I built up the energy to go and get my puffers which of course were upstairs in my room. So I managed to get back upstairs find my puffers and stupidly rather than using them then and there I decide in my infinite wisdom to go back downstairs and then use them. So halfway down the stairs it all starts and you know the rest.

This last week I’ve spent my time colouring and tangling. I’ve talked about tangling before and I’ve been following Sandra Rushton’s videos on Facebook. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday there are Tangle Tutorials on her Facebook page. Tangling is very mindful and helps you escape your problems for a bit.

Here are some pictures of the work form her tutorials.

I did take a bit of poetic license though. During the week Sandra had a private Facebook Session that I went to. That session was doing a large project one that could be used on the front of a card. I wasn’t sure about it when I started, I didn’t think it looked that good at first but the more I went on the better it looked and I’m quite impressed with what I came up with in the end. What do you think?

Yesterday I started a tile and used random patterns in the different sections. It wasn’t planned and I just went with it. I started it pretty late Saturday night so I left it an finished Sunday morning. This is what I came up with:

I like it anyway and that’s all that matters.

For the last few days I haven’t slept very well at all. I’ve been waking up and silly o’clock and haven’t been able to get back to sleep. So I’ve ended up watching TV. On Saturday morning though I’m glad I woke up early though. Sandra Rushton was one create and craft TV. Yes Create and Craft TV my guilty pleasure. She was on promoting Sanntangle. So it was nice to see something about a craft I liked.

Sewing wise I finished off a mask for mum. I was mightily pissed off though. As I was seeing the last few stitches I stabbed my finger. And a few drops of blood later on a light blue fabric mask I wasn’t happy. I normally wash things like that anyway when I’ve finished sewing and was hoping that the blood spots would come out. Luckily after washing the spots had gone and all was fine. So hung it to dry in the dining room and it should be dry and ready for mum to use in the morning.

Knitting wise I’m still on sock number 2. I’m about 1/2 an inch further on than I was last week. Tangling has taken priority this week.

Another thing that I noticed today was that the pollen count was high. I think that could have something to do with the breathing issues but not sure.

I can’t think of anything else so I’ll leave it there.

Love and light
