First of all, I haven't spent any of my 2 week vacation in my sewing room because the renovation sputtered nearly completely to a stop. Here's where we are right now:
The laminate floor is down, the walls are painted (two coats of primer, one coat of paint), four of my Ikea dressers are painted (two coats of primer one coat of paint) and they're filled with scraps, one colour per drawer. Also take note of my new T.V. - a Christmas present from BSP! :) Seems like good progress.. but note to your left - those sets of drawers aren't even primed yet. So are not FILLED yet, neither are my books all on their shelves...
But wait, there's more!
Four (actually six) of these bins are filled with yardage - but there are ten more to be done.
This little corner for my paints and assorted surface design stuff looks great - except that most of those bins are empty - and their contents are still in boxes.
To add insult to injury, I've been quite ill. On December 23, I went to see my doc because a cyst I had on my shoulder for ten years became infected. I was given some antibiotics and an appointment to have the cyst removed (tomorrow). In the meantime, I developed an abcess on my gum, and a sinus infection - so I am literally filled with infection - leaving me headachy - nauseated, and exhausted.
And AFTER Christmas I had an ultrasound and two appointments with my gynecologist, who informed me that the remaining bits I have since my partial hysterectomy 3 years ago have prolapsed (quite painful, btw!) and you guessed it - one of my ovaries has an infected cyst on it!!! So in February, it's all going to come out. MORE surgery, hurray!
The result of all that is that I've been lying around in bed, running fevers, feeling crappy and moaning for ten days (poor BSP!) - with NOTHING going on in my sewing room.
However, Maggie-May has been faithfully keeping me company - here she is lying in my lap (where she'd been for about two hours) just before I started this post. So the news isn't ALL bad. ;)
So I'll see you post cyst surgery - and in the meantime, sew, quilt, or paint a line or two for me, will you?
Cheers,

GET WELL SOON KIT!
ReplyDeleteTHINKING OF YOU.
ay!!!casi logra usted asustarme y salia ya mismo a sacar un turno con el ginecólogo para ver mis quistes ,al odontologo no,porque ya me esta maltratando .
ReplyDeleteTodo saldrá bien,y con pequeño dolor,
o como dice mi odontologo alza el brazo si te duele,ja ja ,y me hace doler igual.
Espero que no lo tome usted mal,yo también tengo quistes desde hace muchos años,y aunque me producen dolor me resisto a operarme.
Su taller esta quedando hermoso y la va a esperar. Por-supuesto que nada es malo,en realidad va a ser bueno sacarse cosas del cuerpo que le ocasionan enfermedad ,casi me esta convenciendo de hacer lo mismo.Cariños.y pronta recuperación.
Kit - my good quilting and inspirational friend in Canada - get well soon!! That fantastic sewing room awaits you! Hilaryxx

That sucks, Kit! I hope you feel better soon and get to start using your new space. It looks fabulous! Sending you healing thoughts!
ReplyDeleteHeal fast! You have a great new space to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a lot going on there! Time to focus on yourself and not worry about anything else. Get well soon, we will be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your surgeries and getting rid of all that infection. At least you are getting all your bad luck for the year over with right away.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the health stuff, but I'm glad to see you have a fluffy friend to help you through.
ReplyDeleteYour new studio is shaping up! You've come a long way, but it always takes more time than you think it will. I've been de-cluttering my whole house - haven't yet gotten to the studio.
Have a healthy and creative new year!

ReplyDeleteHe tenido quistes durante demasiados años, no hay problema hasta que estas infecciones. Por lo general, están bien, asà que no se preocupe por el suyo! Gracias por comentar y ¡cuidado! :)
@Lisa -
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes - and yes, you're right - this whole studio reorganization thing takes FOREVER - much longer than I thought it would. Looking forward to the end product though. :)
I sure hope you feel better soon! Having to wait until February kind of stinks though,huh? Those darn cysts! I have had my share and they pop up in all the wrong places. Mine was on my spine (one surgery and two epidural shots later) and on my ovary, so I totally sympathize. I totally envy you your sewing room. Keep up the good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWow, so sorry you are having such a time of it! Thoughts and prayers for speedy and complete recovery.
ReplyDeleteTake very good care,
Always, Queenie
Thanks Queen - first cyst is out now, (Just back home from the surgery); I should be good to go in a few days. Then it's just February for the other one. :)
ReplyDeletehope you're well on the way to recovery kit
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteMercy me! What a holiday time for you! Glad you hear first cyst op was a success and here's hoping you feel grand real soon.
