I thought I would share with you a couple of photos to show you exactly what I have to put up with when I try to do pretty much any sewing task. Actually, it’s not just sewing it can be a multitude of things, even writing this blog can become quite difficult some days due [...]

Today I am 36 weeks pregnant and am totally excited to be entering the last month of pregnancy and the third trimester. It was a bit of a rough start to the week with my lower legs, ankles and feet swelling up like balloons. They were quite painful too and a little worrying. I did everything [...]
